Löwe was a quality player for us in the promotion season. I find it utterly bizarre that anyone can put him on this list 😂 He was an ok championship player but was never gonna make it athletically in the prem. if we’d had a strong fullback like toffolo working with Rajiv we could’ve been a real threat on that side as it was it was largely VLP trying to do it all himself. That's a different argument though? |

David Graham scored 9 goals in 16 games for us, on loan from a club I can't remember. Superb numbers but no one remembers him with any fondness here, for some reason I don't understand. I do and remember him with fondness. Can remember him scoring alot of goals for Torquay when they pipped us to third place in our playoff promotion from league 2. I also really liked Luke Beckett who I think Graham came in for whilst Beckett was injured. I suppose both would be considered old fashioned types of strikers now but scored alot of goals at alot of different clubs in the lower leagues. Seem to remember his goals being classic poacher types. |

Vallejo. Seen as the second coming by some, I never got it.

Lee Peltier. I think Hunt really showed him up when he broke into the side. In an attacking 4-4-2 he was too cautious and slow for my liking.
Kasey Palmer gets better every time someone talks about him, and it tends to get forgotten about that he was on loan with us in the first Prem season too but didn't train well enough to get picked. I thought Brown was far better and Payne was about at the same level as him.

Andy Payton.
Town could lose 4-1 and he seemed totally happy as long as he scored the 1.

Lewis O'Brien...dont think he was a bad player at all at championship level..but do think he was overrated by many.
Lots of box to box energy but a distinct lack of quality when it came to his final decision..be it a pass, shot or trying to take that one extra man on.
Most seemed disappointed with the £8m we got for him...I thought we'd got a really good price and id imagine Forest do now aswell.

He passed the ball like a five year old, allowing nothing for the ball receivers movements. |

Seriously? Did ANYONE like Puncheon, Man Bun Davidson, or Pritchard. Give yourself a slap if you did. Agree re Helik. Overrated and disinterested half the time. Tom Lees - a trier but bang average. Robbie Williams, David Beresford, Simon Baldry, and so many more I will add on later! I liked Beresford when he first came, thought he was going to be Giggs-esque for us, wasn't to be. Baldry was brilliant ... when his contract was up for renewal, rest of the time he was mostly shite I'd agree Beresford's problem is he just kept running and running and running until he ran the ball out of play. |

bar one season (promotion season) I remember going to the glorious victory at Crystal Palace and some guys were incessantly singing Smith's name. Eventually, my son and I found it too much and asked if they could sing something different. It turned out they were his sponsors. |

Here's a name of a player that everyone but me liked. Tom Cowan.
Never did it for me, though he seems to be a cult hero.

It turned out they were his sponsors. well like i say bar one season, his link up with Kachunga was key that season. He was average at best nothing special. We did get him for free , so to get an average champ level player out of it is good to be fair. Was never going to make the step up which was proven. |

Re Tommy Smith.
I’d argue that he was also good in our first PL season.
I remember well how he put in probably the strongest challenge I’ve ever witnessed live on Martial in our great victory v Man Utd.
After this Martial was scared to death of going near him until he was replaced in the 2nd half.
As others have said he was great in our promotion season and his overlapping lead to many goal scoring opportunities.

Jonas Løssl.
Forever dining out on a couple of saves.
Hopelessly out of position most of the time and, as a rule of thumb, if it was on target, it went in.
Never got a game at Everton, nor as GK for Denmark, even in friendlies, not even to see how he might cope, because managers always trusted Schmeichel.
Hugely unpopular opinion; cue derision and insults.

Martial came to take a throw in shortly after and he looked visibly shaken. Bottom lip was wobbling. |

Rudoni - just simply did nothing Mounie - spent more time defending and was out of position constantly Hogg - been good for 3 seasons in 10 Carlos as the manager - boring and we still have to hear how he’s a genius despite never getting anywhere I'll take it to my grave and defend my opinion until that day - Rudoni was fucking rubbish for us. An attacking midfielder who provided zero goal threat, with minimal physical presence. Most of the time, he looked like a 12 year old playing senior football. Couldn’t stand rudoni, spent most of the time mincing around looking busy and when it came to the crucial moment he had zero composure. Final ball and finish were appalling. |

Lowe, Hefele, Kachunga, Smith, all very very average players. |

Nakki Wells. Always thought he needed 5 or 6 really great chances to get his goal. this was my exact answer. I used to get so many pelters for this opinion |
