I didnt rate Jason Matthews. I know he had a good game against Everton, but I dont think he had what it takes to be a Football League keeper.

Too small and weedy, to be fair though he has had a half decent non league career.

Lee Elam. Had all the tricks pace skills making of a perfect winger On his day he could tear teams to pieces very rarely showed this though, it can be said for all the clubs he's been at ie Chester Halifax Exeter and the rest, he would play a few cracking games for the clubs he's been at and then just slumps into the money grabbing waste of space he turned out to be.

I believe if he played at his best everyweek he would of made the Championship

How about:

1. Jason Matthews No chance
2. Andy Cyrus I thought he was shocking
3. Phil King before my time
4. Chris Holloway good shout, he was looking good before the broken cheekbone
5. Craig Taylor ?
6. Patrick Ada maybe
7. Frankie Bennett great shout
8. Nicky Medlin for a brief spell he was excellent
9. Rennier Moor a bit over rated
10. Neil Illman he was quality, I seem to remember him winning MOM every week, even when he'd come on as sub
11. Jon Wilkinson not a bad shout
Lee Zabek?
.....awaits backlash

Every half decent kid striker we've had on the books. They all appeared to have that special art of finding the back of the net on a very, very regular basis (enough to make you think they could bring that form into the first team) yet the only one who looked anywhere near doing so was Rob Speakman.

Gareth Sheldon could have been a quality player.
Agreed, but he just always seemed to be over weight

Holloway, should have gone on to play at a higher level.
