Big Hat Logan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 A truly momentous summer. Can anyone tell me the names of these gentlemen? Currently at Lech Poznan and retired at FK Spyris KaunasBrilliant bit of business. Did Velicka not play one game or something? Injured the rest of the time including when we signed him?

dazzy_deff Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yeah, the big reveal wasn’t really much of a reveal. Probably would’ve made sense to have Miller in as boss with Smith still around to consult. Miller did well with the players there that he obviously knew, but when it came to getting in new blood it fell apart for him.Would argue against that. Didn't miller sign Richardson, shearer, paatelainen who were all pretty integral into how we played that first two seasons. 1 Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Would argue against that. Didn't miller sign Richardson, shearer, paatelainen who were all pretty integral into how we played that first two seasons.Yeah, but the main experienced players that left weren’t replaced with similar quality, admittedly difficult to find another Bett, McLeish, Mason, Connor, Grant etc. It just appeared at the time that he tried to make the team younger but it didn’t quite work out,with losing too much quality experience. For some reason I also always remembered that Miller signed Winnie, not Smith (think we went over this on another thread with Miller and Aitken signings) Edit: by that changes, I mean in his last season Link to comment
RUL Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Smith seemed to take credit or should it be blame for Winnie ? Robertson was a big loss and we were robbed with that fee. Link to comment

ebbe Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I genuinely have no idea, is the one on the right Blaha or whatever he was called?Velicka played a part in ridding the club of Richard Foster and for that I’ll be eternally grateful. Link to comment
For Fecks Sake Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Robertson.....yuckGet yer ranger bias specs off, he was a quality player. We would love to have a player of his quality at left back these days. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 He was a good player, but as soon as he went to them I can forget all about that as he became a cheating Hun cunt. If you don’t like it, I don’t care 1 Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 That era was some side. Ok we had the likes of Winnie,Craig Robertson and Paul Kane who were probably Smiths poorest recruits.He also signed Ian Cameron and Andy Gibson two players i thought would be excellent Cameron was too injury prone.

Thought Kane was alright? Can't remember Gibson at all but seem to recall Cameron scored a class goal v celtic. Is it fair to say he was a bit like Scott Wright and just never seemed physical enough?

Ten Caat Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Kane gets a load of stick and sure he wasn't the world's greatest player but he did a decent enough job for us in the time he was with us. And lets face it....he would walk into the current side, never mind those of the Paterson, Miller (A), Magoo and GWT eras Link to comment
Fridge Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I quite liked Kane as well . Cameron was a very skilful player and done ok for us . At the time I even thought the likes of Winnie and Woodthorpe were underrated.Assume you are on the pisstake here? Kane and Cameron maybe got more stick than they deserved. Woody and Winnie were fucking horrendous. Link to comment
RUL Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Assume you are on the pisstake here? Kane and Cameron maybe got more stick than they deserved. Woody and Winnie were fucking horrendous. Yeah, always felt nervous with Winnie playing and Woodthorpe was shite. Cost a fair bit of money as well. Think the problem is after Robertson nobody seemed decent. Link to comment

Chewie37 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Probably rose tinted specs. I don't remember either of them being that bad. Winnie had an unusual look about him and Woodthoorpe just didn't seem to fit in, but I thought they were solid enough without being spectacular . Just looked it up and Woody played til he was 40 ! Manager of Fylde these days. They just weren’t as good as the players they replaced and took a lot of stick for that. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 They were nowhere near tbh, journeyman players replacing top quality. 1 Link to comment
