I believe he was captain at Bradford City last season

A game that was settled by a goal from new England hero, Kieran Trippier.
Vincelot was a beneficiary of the 5 sub rule, we needed someone to cover every position on the pitch as a back up option. But he was a victim of his versatility and never nailed down a place, which was a shame because he's clearly a competent player. A move to Crawley isn't a bad thing for him and I think they'll be a good outside bet for promotion this season.

You may be right re Crawley and promotion, once or twice last season they looked as if they might make a challenge before falling away towards the end. Shame they couldn't settle their differencies with Dean Cox, who is another player who might have made a telling contribution this season..

I remember that last minute chance so well. Gutted he didn't put it away.
CMS and OGH - two of the worst players I've ever seen in 1 on 1's. If they had too long to think about it - forget it. In those situations, they had all the guile and composure of a man with his trousers on fire.

i LOVED Romain, thought he never let us down when he was called upon (apart from the Burnley match, but i'll forgive him as it was such a cracking match).
Loved his header v Cov - the first match I took my ex to so has some significance.
Good luck to him, I've always kept one eye on how he's done (as i do with a few of the ex players that i've a soft spot for).

Very well put, Romain Vincelot, quite a rare thing nowadays, seemingly a professional footballer who played the game primarily for the love of it.
Largely injury hit when he was at the Albion, but always gave his all when he pulled on the shirt.

A good pro and seems like one of the good guys.

I voted for him back in 2016

Was a victim of circumstance with us, as we signed him as he could play so many positions but then the bench got extended from 5 players to 7, and then he was very unlucky to get sent off vs Burnley.

Met him in Spain. Hard as nails. Was a good pro for us and definitely has his head squarely on his shoulders.
Unlucky? He punched someone - it was of the clearest red cards you're likely to see.
He was a good pro though and did a professional stint for us. Hope he enjoys his retirement
Did he not tonk one of the racists? It was off the ball, in the south west corner as I recall. That was a rum old game.

It happened right in front of me, it was a little dig into the ribs, not much force behind it all and I was surprised the ref (or maybe the 4th official) even saw it.

Excuse pedantry HWT Twas the N/W corner I thoughtDid he not tonk one of the racists? It was off the ball, in the south west corner as I recall. That was a rum old game.
Then aye aye Ashley tripped the ref
The stadium was absolutely rocking that day
If only CMS had put that chance away near the end for an equaliser
I always think back fondly to 'that' game.
I view it as the match in which WE finally took ownership of The AMEX.
Prior to that I think there was more than a touch of 'don't stand on the new carpet'.
Then The Great Escape started and we all got involved.
As an aside - have a look back at season 1 AMEX, it looks very different and very sparse compared to now.

More pedantry, Ashley Barnes tripped the referee away to Bolton.
