Views from the Sieve

So I put a post about Tomlin being shit and Adrian tells me off by confirming he is shit lol !!

No, I'm pointing out that saying he was mustard anywhere else is a slight stretch of the truth.

He put it wide not over the bar If he had tried to do that he would have scored and we would not have got relegated.

You have also to put a question like this into context and be subjective. Tomlin and Ifill were trying to do it at the highest level we have played at . In his first year for us when we shipped him out on loan to Torquey Tomin knocked a few in there and they made the play offs.

After what I sure Tuesday night I think this Shepard will start appearing on a few posts if he hangs around much longer , gives the impression he just does not know how to defend.

Well that would make more sense. I've spent al these years wondering how he could've put it over the bar from that close. We could've also done without the Orient player diving for the penalty that night. Can't remember if it was Tehoue or M'Poku.

That was the whistling Kettle , poor old Femi he never even got the red card rescinded .

I really thought we had that game in the bag. That pen was in injury time wasn't it ?

I would possibly say almost every loanee that has ever played for us in the last 10 odd years. There are some great ones (Richie, Baudry, JMD) but this club takes in what feels like 10 odd loans every year and we are lucky if we have one worth remembering the name of.

I assume Gracco wasn't a success going by the length of time spent here.

Damien Batt

The ex perm defender we had last year that retired too - forget his name.

Jamie Reed was miles out of his depth too

Has to be Nosworthy. Some of the signings Burnett made were shocking, although Hines and Murphy in 13/14 weren't exactly bad were they?

How about Rob Gill, Tony Perfect or Charlie Bull? (not sure if Bull ever made a first team appearance though?)

Honourable mention for our regular pre-season attendee of Frazer Toms though!!

Bull was better than Perfect I think. Marginally.

My top three...



Tris Whitman.... yes, he missed it!



Stuart Douglas of matching hairband fame.



Rob Gill. Just utter shite.

Oh, don't bring that up or I'll have another episode

The other Piper brother that Garry Hill got as a buy one get one free. Can't remember if it was Chris or Lennie.
