Wasn't it Whittaker who completly destryoed us when playing for Port Vale at Withers?

One of the best displays by a visiting player and he was even being applauded by Albion fans.

Having just watched Danny Whitaker scoring three for Chesterfield. Got me thinking. He always impressed me in League One, so what's he doing dropping down a division already ? - hardly past it at 30.

Your nominations please - be they either too good or too poor for the division they're currently playing in.

Loan players don't count, so no Craig Bellamy posts please :wink:

So I'll start :



Danny Whitaker - Too good for League Two.

Craig Bellamy anyone?! To obvious sorry..... :glare:

Craig Bellamy should still be in the Prem.

:shrug:

The very same.

As attacking midfielders go, he'd be a real asset for most clubs in our division I reckon.

All should be in the Championship.

Le Fondre should be in League One.

Brett Pitman, still think he should be playing League One football.

I can promise you 110%, from extensive experience, that Gary Teale should never, ever be playing the championship

Really? Why's that ? I thought he was very threatening yesterday for Wednesday unless i was thinking of somebody else.

Oh, he can turn it on occasionally, 1 game in 20 he looks like frigging Messi, the rest of the time he looks like a bloke with boots on the wrong feet and laces tied together. Also, there is, obviously, some gap between L1 and the champ.

Grant Holt when he was at Shrewsbury. Never did understand why he joined a League 2 club

Excellent call :clap: Had me puzzled at the time too.

In The Championship now and so far bagged 3 in 3. Point well and truly proven.

Probably come back to bite Forest.

Cue the slating, but...

Darren Ambrose should be playing in the Premier League still. Single-handedly the reason why we unfortunately don't have a league trip to Selhurst this year.

Oh, and following on from a conversation I had yesterday, I'm stunned no Premier League side came in for Bristol City's Nicky Maynard this summer as well. Class act.
