Worst Walsall player in the last 20 years

@el_nombre

Have you just started randomly defending these two despite them not being brought up now?

They were brought up. Read the thread.

[Jordh]

I can’t remember that but I remember him playing up top on his own against Stevenage I think it was and ending up somehow playing in front of the defence then getting hooked before half time by Dutton. If your being subbed before Half time by Brian Dutton then you really are crap

[kshammer]

Jason Price was shit

@el_nombre

week one he wasn’t good enough and you were upset

So you’re a liar as well.

Just looked through the Andy Williams Signs thread. Presume that’s what you means by “week one” …

Here was my ONLY comment

@APJ88

Two totally different players, but i’m sure Akinfenwa was released by Wimbledon at 35. Signed for Wycombe and achieved two promotions in his time there. Maybe Williams will be of a similar ilk.

I don’t believe he will start many games, but that experience and know-how will definitely benefit us you would imagine.

That’s how I see the signing. I’m not that excited but I see the benefits. Same with Clarke

Ive defended his work rate.That’s about it. And even that faded badly. He’s been shit but not even close to the worst in the last 20 years.

[el_nombre]

In supposed 11’s. I don’t think anyone has suggested either are the worst players we have had.

[el_nombre]

Nope I meant Vs Hartlepool when we actually saw him play

I 'd have thought that was obvious, as in week one of the season but clearly not. That’s enough to be called a liar apparently.

@SamsaraSaddler

6.5 is nonsense. He was pivotal to our press.

Here, when you were writing somebody else’s opinion off as “nonsense” again, which went on to be a pretty accurate judging of his ability

[SamsaraSaddler]

You gave him a 6.5 when he had an excellent game. His best game in a Walsall shirt. It was nonsense based off one game.

How does that mean I was upset?

Imagine basing your argument off the first game of the season. Desperate.

Bless

[Exile]

Please, either be constructive or go to messages. It’s boring.

[el_nombre]

Because it was your second bite at that particular cherry after after questioning that I thought he was slow. Perish the thought

@Exile It is on topic, I’m discussing Walsall worst player of the last 20 years That poster is sending abusive messages privately because he doesn’t want to put it on here, I think it’s fair to respond.

[SamsaraSaddler]

You gave the worst player in 20 years a 6.5/7. Lol

[el_nombre]

For one game that you just said was his best performance lol

[simon]

If a user is sending abuse privately it needs to be reported. Keeping on topic isn’t an issue here, back and forth bickering is, especially when it leads to ridiculous name-calling.

[el_nombre]

I’m not sure that’s possible over the chat function?

[simon]

The option to send a message to a mod is available even where flagging isn’t.

Back on topic, please.

One of the few advantages of aging is that the dross merges. While technical ability is important, I’d like to give special mentions to Labadie and Merson though.

[SaddlerHQ]

In recent times likes of Liddle and Gaffney for sure.

You also get forgettable loans like that Sheron guy but he and a few others were only bit part players, Liddle started loads of games start of 2019 seasons.

Going back aswell when this club was a decent mid table league one club you had Ashley Grimes making loads of sub cameos in 14/15 and Troy Hewitt the season before. These were backup strikers trying to play a part in the club finishing in the play offs and they both dropped off the radar after leaving.

@Thanatos

Liam Kinsella

Wasn’t Liams fault though he was never played in his favoured RB position.

@ShropsSaddler

guess it depends on what the criteria are and how we define “worst”. If it’s purely on ability, that’s one thing, if it’s on a comparison of expectation against reality, then that’s another.

In terms of disappointment, Pär Cederqvist comes into that category, especially in the light of his subsequent prolific goal-scoring career.

Years	Team	Apps	(Gls)
2003–2004	Djurgårdens IF	8	(0)
2003	Åtvidabergs FF (loan)	13	(6)
2004–2006	Östers IF	40	(12)
2006	Raufoss IL	11	(10)
2006–2007	Walsall F.C.	10	(0)
2007–2009	Landskrona BoIS	75	(30)
2010–2012	Jönköpings Södra IF	68	(26)
2013–2018	IFK Värnamo	170	(57)
Total		395	(135)

He is the all-time top goalscorer of Superettan (Swedish first division) as of 2018.

[SaddlerHQ]

Surprised Chris Palmer hasn’t been mentioned much, I started looking at this board in early 2008 and he always used to get stick after every disappointing result on the post match threads…mind you so did Troy Deeney!

Actually thinking about it one of the worst CFs I’ve seen at this club was Sam Parkin. Given his general scoring record it was a bit like Williams in that he came mid 30s basically unable to move due to many injuries and could only really score penalties.

Macken at least the next season could hold the ball up and set up others in a very poor team.

[ams99]

Merson was a superb player to watch in my opinion.
