He might not have gone onto greater things but I’m sure he’s be a better option for us than the likes of a Barlow, Woltman etc. Maybe even Agard.
I thought he was worth keeping too but didn’t happen. What I’d say in defence of Fergie is that he’s played below whatever level we have been every year since he left. General point on the youth team is that we do seem to have more come through to a level to play pro even if not for DRFC. Which is a big step up from where we were. Amos, Hasni, Mandeville, Greaves are all playing pro mostly in National League. Then in our squad you’d expect Faulkner to make it and everyone speaks highly of Ravenhill but he doesn’t seem to get a chance so he may make it pro after leaving like the others.
Ran West Brom ragged, sheer class going past players as if they were stood still. Thanks Fergie great management skills I don't think you could recognise young potential if it got up and smacked you in the face. Along with young Watters with Moore the two worst decisions on young players in the last ten years.
Raven we are talking class as a footballer, that bit of natural ability that can change a game, take a team to pieces, there are lot's of athletes who have had good even international careers in football, but not many who can make a difference in a moment. It's like McIndoe when he played for is, completely below the level he should be playing at.
Mandeville went a while ago and it's not like he has gone on to greater things since he has left. That one is not a decision I disagree with in letting him go.
And no mention of Alfie?
Hound, Fergies handling of Mandeville, Middleton, and Lund was the equivalent of a mill owner in Victorian times.
