sullivan sticks out a mile for me, letting a keeper go with bags of ability and replacing him with a inferior replacement just seemed daft then as it does now.

I would agree with Paul Reid, Doug Loft. possibly Sam Rents.

Doug Loft and John Sullivan were both worth keeping. I thought Loft actually played very well and looked like, given a run in a team, could become quite a classy player. Oh well. Sullivan was obviously a good keeper. Problem was he didn't fit in at time. Slade obviously wanted a new first choice, which Smith was intended to be, so whilst Sullivan was a very good back-up he was neither our best back-up or bad enough to be third choice. Obviously backfired but at the time I thought it made sense!

Good shout, has gone on to have a very good career with his old man, and is now at Derby on loan I believe, played one game for us and scored and was named man of the match if I remember against Cardiff in the Leyland daf/auto windscreen/paint pot/sherpa vans

Yes, but Adams wanted players in the middle who kicked people. Johnson didn't fit the bill :facepalm: To be fair, it did work at the time

Guy Butters we could of done with him at the back this season

A little old now don't you think
