That is pretty impressive in anybodys book but of course some of the experts on here are looking down their noses at him. If the Wednesday deal goes through, it makes them dead certs for play-offs and they will be pushing for top two. Although Rhodes lacks pace, he has the best positional sense...

Lets sing about both of them and appreciate the part that both have played in the folklore of this club. I would love to listen to fans extolling the virtues of Arthur Attwood, Bullet Jones, Tommy Cook, Dave Sexton, Jimmy Langley and Eric Gill. Pay older fans some respect re their memories as...

Just checked the records and you have a fair point. Wardy replaced Binney for 3 games and we didn't win any of them ( two draws and a defeat ) Taylor then, clearly, realised his mistake and brought Fred back for a home game v Port Vale, in which he scored and we won. Easter did for us, with...

He lived off his sensational debut goal at the Goldstone but the stories of his lifestyle were always doing the rounds. It was rumoured that he went missing on one occasion and was found asleep, on a local building site, in a condition best described as less than professional.

Jimmy Collins....199 games...44 goals.

Peter Taylor decided to drop Binney for the trip to Hereford ( top of the table clash ) and we were all shocked at the time. Fred was a regular goalscorer and had over 20 goals that season , with at least 8 games to play. I've checked the records and Fred had four goals in five games immediately...

John was our record signing at the time....£25,000 from Bolton.

I used to stand high on the East Terrace and had a good view of Kit's inswinging corners. He definitely scored direct v Bury at Xmas time 1969...watched it all the way in.

Small steps. Stopped the rot. Regained that winning feeling. Derby now faltering, one point from the last nine. Hull and Burnley now picking up the pace. Wednesday could be dark horses. Got to win again next week and keep ourselves in the pack. After that, two week break to rest and regroup and...

The groundsman said that it was a result wicket. He wasn't joking. Its gonna struggle to reach day 4.

Probably about right for a player out of contract this summer. Lots of clubs wouldn't touch him because of his dodgy knee ( most good judges don't expect him to stay fit ) and the suspicion that he is still not doing himself any favours off the field.

Football may appear to be booming in this country but it is in danger of self-imploding, of shooting itself in the foot. TV coverage has now reached quite ridiculous levels and is at saturation point. In the quest for more and more revenue, they are now starting to undermine the very fabric of...

Yep....the defence needs completely re-shaping for a start, let alone any thoughts re strikers.

Yep...rising to the Palace bait again....small minded.

All this hand wringing about our failure to score goals but we have only kept one clean sheet in the last 12 games. The whole basis of football is being sound at the back and three more draws in this poor run would still have seen us in a strong position, two points off 2nd. I know we are firing...

Well said. I'd die a happy man if this plastic and artificial rivalry with a LONDON club, died a death and they resumed their natural rivalry with Millwall.

0-0 coming up at Blackburn....brace yourself.

and that puts the world to rights does it?....absolutely and utterly pathetic comment. Forget Palace and everyone else and try to contribute to the debate about our failing team and how we are chucking away a glorious chance to challenge for a place in the PL. Palace are the last thing on my...
