Watched a video of Carl Baker celebrating our promotion and got me thinking about players who performed for us when we really were a lost cause. I'd put a vote for Reda Johnson, who I thought was a real rock at the back. Any other players come to mind?.....Also, we're on ouuuuurrr wayyyyy!!!

I put players like Reda as those who are a sign of the club's decline rather than a performer tbh. Our best (permanent) players since relegation in 2012 would include Baker though tbh.

Some names on here I had genuinely forgotten and rightly so. But going back to the original post, I can’t think past Chris stokes.

Came from not playing at non league forest green to being our first choice left back. He wasn’t very quick, not very good in the air and quite poor technically. However, every game he gave 100% and just like many of the names mentioned on this thread, we didn’t see that often from a city player. I even remember him playing a game at centre half once and didn’t put a foot wrong. He dealt with injuries but he always came back fighting and in the end had success in his final year.

His post Cov career shows what endears him to fans alienates him from managers.

The display that stood out was a dreadful game at Crewe where he couldn't pass a ball straight over 6 yards and just resorted to random long shots. Was great on a good day though

Will always have fond memories of Stokes as one of the few players to be part of both the checkatrade and play-off Wembley victories

Former England international Joe Cole... I remember being over the moon with this signing but it didn't quite work out for him unfortunately!

They're all part of this Club's rich and varied past, along with the likes of Macca, Westwood, Dann, even Wallace and Ferguson. Some better than others tho.

Saw Rod McDonald on twitter earlier. Totally forgot about him. Was pretty solid for us.

I think it was the Rod McDonald signing that really kicked off the Robins era.

He had steadied the ship while being doomed to relegation, and manufactured a win at Wembley with existing material. The key thing was what would happen over the summer, with a number of players going - some we were glad to see the back of, but still it meant gaps had to be filled. And we were a division lower, and plenty have gone into a tail spin after relegation - see Oldham this year. I think Rod M was possibly his first signing - I remember the standard pic of player and manager at the training ground with platitudes being uttered for our benefit. But I just thought "We have a plan". - we have acquired first up, a solid centre half the backbone of any team. The acquisition of Hyam confirmed it, because it put the development programme central to the future. And both cost nothing.

That McDonald was very good for half a season and then fell away quite sharply is unimportant. It showed Robins had a plan.

I always quite like Aaron Phillips. A howler vs Burton seemed to do for him. Also I think marked the start of our downturn that season.

Not sure why but just got images of Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield's Dutch coppers.

Akpom who would only be allowed to play for us if he wasn’t turning out for Arsenal in the under 12’s Champions League. Why a bizarre arrangement that was. I remember Pressley absolutely bollocking him after a defeat at Brentford.

Nick Proschwitz - 9 games, 1 goal in half a season the year we barely stayed up in League 1 by beating Crawley on the last day.
