Top bloke Nicky Platnauer - won't hear him maligned.

And you rated him as a left back

I thought of a City team which may not rate too highly in the popularity stakes:

                            Ward

Mattock      Hobbs      Faes    Chilwell

     Wise           Soumaré      J.Lewis

         Musa        Slimani    Ghezzal

 

I'm sure there are a few other gems who have managed  to rile this forum.....

Any suggestions?

Hobbs?

[PAULCFC]

DJ has got to be in there.......only the weak feel presure......Offside!Refusing to go up for a corner at Peterborough when we were losing and having a hissy fit when he was subed at Upton park.

This is more about people who didn't try or were disruptive rather than not very good. To be fair, we've had worse than Nick.

not sure we are discussing wether they were skilled or not but who had some sort of unsavory aspect to their character.. Nicky didn’t.

Because he was the only one that busted a gut to chase back during a Peterborough counter attack minutes before. Funny how people forget that.

Gary Megson manager all day long. 

 

I'd Elvis Hammond, Mark Devries and McGivern in there. 

[fox_favourite]

Hobbs was great for us at the time, he didn't do anything wrong. Rab Douglas in goal? Actually Ward does win. 

 

Josh Low on the wings?

[PAULCFC]

Sorry....Beckford and DJ are sort of intertwined in my head in the year's when we were not very good! DJ was allways offside and Beckford had a bit of attitude......but both unlikeable for me.

I find the lack of Harry Kane in this thread disturbing

Quite a few candidates for manager…

 

Has to be Rodgers though 

Not even close.

 

Pleat? Hollowords? Taylor?

In terms of (un)popularity surely Chilwell deserves to be here.

 

That FA cup cupped ears moment is the stuff of legends, cant think of a player our fans love to hate more. Especially considering he came from our academy.

And his career is on the slide

Think it was Beckford now.......any way both unlikeable! It was definately Beckford who made made a slow walk off the Upton park pitch whilst standing at one point asking why we were celebrating him coming off!

The dream center back pairing of Nicky Mohan and Brian Carey have got to be in contention.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

 Ward

 

Wise Mills Wise Bertrand

 

Gallagher Wise Lewis Wise

 

Wise Hopper

 

Manager -  Rodgers with Wise as assistant

Peter Taylor is the only correct answer for manager , weirdos will say Brendan 

I think you're right but to manage to get that side Brendan had relegated required the perfect shit storm of which he was a massive part of.

Not Paul Gallagher?

Paul Gallagher was a bit of an Enigma for us......Shit in midfield sometimes,couldn't tackle,scored some great goals and never missed on penaltys.....but he smashed his Mrs's back doors!
