Yup added him just after. Crazy game that was against PNE, went 4-0 up very quickly then backed off

Just found the game - won 4-1, he scored twice and missed an 88 minute penalty.
Cresswell got sent off... explains why he didn’t terrorise us as usual
As I remember McSheffrey wanted the pen but let Gudjonsson take it-then got pissed off at the miss. Was tired at school the next day but well worth it
Both did well under Eric Black. Both struggled to be part of the vision of Peter Reid
We beat them in the Checkatrade in 2013 and I think in the Championship in 2007. Doyle scored the winner from miles out
Of course! How can I forget the checkatrade - one of my favourite games... Leon Clarke was marginally offside.
And the Doyle screamer - didn’t that put us top of the league? Before losing to Bristol City and going on the downwards slope
Yeah, think it got Dowie manager of the month before we got swindled by Brizzle. Bit of a crazy season that one with wins at Old Trafford and Blackburn but a last day swindle of our own.
That’s our best sales pitch, if he resigns I think he’s going to score about 15+ goals and can earn a blockbuster move that way. This is clutching at straws though.
Didn’t get a chance as Peter Reid took over and shipped them out. He tried to do the same with McSheffrey.
Don’t know why people are comparing Bright and Bayliss. Very, VERY different sorts of players. And it’s not as if both weren’t accommodated in the team for a large part of the season.
‘Acommodated’ is the key word, Bayliss isn’t a natural CM like say Kelly, Shipley or Doyle. Not good enough defensively or off the ball! Although they’re different players, why would they not be compared when arguably their best position is the same!
I don’t see how they are so different anyway, ok Bright has more trickery up his sleeve, but both are renowned for their ball carrying skills and driving the team forward.
We weren’t doing too badly with Bayliss there. Everyone has this picture that a CM has to do this job and that job. That’s fair, that’s their perfect CM. Pirlo didn’t carry the ball and didn’t even try and defend. Scholes couldn’t tackle to save his life.
I think Shipley looks a lot more assured in the CM pair than Bayliss did, id go as far to say I've never seen him play a bad game there in his natural position. Bayliss has to be further up the pitch for me.
Blackburn in the Cup last season, and Morecambe away in September. Played at CM then and looked poor. But they were early days.
Was it Blackburn where he went Left Back or a different one? Looked decent there.
Blackburn was him and I think Bayliss CM and they got slaughtered all game.
Shrewsbury he went LB in the Checkatrade, He did look good there.
I think it was Stevenson he played alongside against Blackburn. Bayliss wasn't on the scene at that stage.
Wolves fan I work with said he was a regular starter last year in the Championship and looked a really big talent but needed to fill out physically and last the games more. He just wasn't ready for premier football and his Portuguese wasn't good enough either so hence he got farmed out. Although I'd love us to sign him as a 19yo I doubt he'll be coming down to us in league 1 on a permanent basis.
It was McAllister who tried to dump McSheffrey. Probably one of the most clueless managers we've ever had.
Was that the group he sent training on their own at the memorial park? Trying to rack my brain about who else was in that bomb squad. Got a feeling Eustace and Joachim were among them, but can't remember exactly.
Yes, that's it. Can't remember who else was frozen out though. McSheffrey was sent to Luton, I seem to remember.
Also Peter Reid. He brought in a young lad (whose name escapes me) on loan from, I think Man Utd, and McSheffrey,despite his form the previous season under Eric Black, was left out.
The boy from Man Utd was Eddie Johnstone. No where near as good as Mc Sheffield but played ahead of him.
That was it! Stevenson! I did think it wasn't Bayliss but couldn't for the life of me remember who it was!
Ricoh deal now maybe gone through, bright was waiting to sign contract depending on us staying at the Ricoh??? Seems possible
or signing an extention at wolves ?
