Looking through the team sheet that day "number 36 Ashley Barnes" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Was that when the dodgy striker we'd bought got dogs abuse? You're not fit to wear the shirt etc. Or is my memory getting confused again? There used to be a guy who took two todllers to away games in a pram who was there - those kids are probably going on their own to games now. Madness how time flies.

No, not him. Davies was it? High hopes when he signed, then....
Holford was always a gamble as I recall, quick but shit

Think that was Craig davies during the 2009/10 season, he definitely got that sort of abuse at an MK Dons away game.

It felt like a case of his trying too hard and snatching at chances, because he was desparate to score however he struggled and parts of the support turned on him, putting more pressure on, eventually it was probably best for everyone he moved on. He did well for a couple of seasons at his new clubs after us

Southgate’s view.

 

[Sheebo]

Was this the season before the promotion one? When Poyet had saved us from relegation and it was a dead rubber?

Was also there. Drove so had an alleged coffee

What struck me about Craig Davies, compared to our long line of really shit strikers in that era (Dixon/Holroyd/O’Grady et al) is that he couldn’t run.

He wasn’t lazy, he did his best. But he actually couldn’t run.

I remember in that very game seeing him sprint after a loose ball towards their corner flag. He had a head start and was overtaken by two defenders and the linesman.

Probably the slowest footballer I’ve seen play for the Albion at that level.

Was that the special offer day where tickets were plentiful and cheap?
