Players everyone else seems to think are brilliant but you think are rubbish

[Zeuss]

The only exciting thing he did was turn that Chelsea player and leave him for dead. Nobody ever knew what Laurent was going to do, mainly because he didn't know either

He had one absolutely superb game v Leeds.He ran them ragged.in all other games he was mostly clueless.

How about Jean Francois Christophe, he didnt do much other than that over head kick at Peterborough, which won our goal of the season in 1999.

Well he must deserve some credit for getting goal of the season at the age of 12:winking: In all seriousness I thought he was good for us sometimes but at other times awful, which probably goes to show why he hasn't really done much since leaving. Another memory of him that sticks out is when Nicky Bailey got him sent off :angry:

Two that spring to mind were Damon Searle (never got over the half way line) and Peter Clarke (those wonderful last ditch challenges were usually him trying to rectify his initial slip. Completely out of his depth in the championship. He was bullied by most centre forwards and ended up ball watching rather than watching where his man
was).

 

[Zeuss]

I agree with you and have never rated him. He got better but after yesterday's display I think he would be better suited in league two.

Presumably you mean National League 2,where he could choose between North and South divisions.At that level there is quite a few slow,one-footed central defenders with poor distribution.

Were you at Stockport when he ripped them to pieces and scored two, I think?

Andy Sussex

He might not have been a brilliant footballer but he had "style" through and through (well, that is how I remember it .....)

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

I am going to be quite unkind now ................

Luke Prosser - an average defender who plays with commitment and puts in plenty of effort but not quite sure why people rate him so much .................

The marmite man in our current squad, some bang on and on about his shouting and endeavour AS if that makes him a footballer, where as others (especially opposition coaches) see his limitations.
AND there a few who rate Mooney as a "striker".
Both destined for League 2 or the Conference, hopefully not taking us with them.

Searle must have scored that cracker v Brentford from our half then

Big Johnny M'Voto anyone; yes he was/is big but he wasn't very good.

Think your minds playing tricks, I couldn't remember him ever scoring 2 away and having checked the records the only scorers at Stockport during Laurent's time were Revell (we lost 3-1) and Barnard (2-0 win).

At the time I quite liked him, but with hindsight he was made for the cliche 'flatters to deceive'. The 2 games I remember when he was undoubtably good were the aforementioned Leeds game and Hartlepool at home the following season, in the first half at least he was electric.

I was at that game and he was absolutely amazing that day, everything came off. I thought he would go on to stardom. Sadly that never happened.

All players have strengths and weaknesses. Just because someone is good at kicking, it doesn't mean they can direct a header. With Laurent, he had fantastic trickery on the ball but he couldn't kick it in the right direction... Except on that day in Stockport (and vs Leeds)

Do you mean the one against Rushden and Diamonds?

I could have sworn he scored, oh well, it's the one we won, which was also one where our trainer at the time made an arse of himself getting out of the dug out and fell over, featuring on Soccer AM's Third Eye and causing much hilarity!
