OriginalRobboFOX Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 I know he 5hat on us and left us for 'bigger and better' things.... but he didn't half have us playing well at the time. We were like a man utd of Div 1. We used to just pass our way round like nobodies business, it seemed like we were genuinely playing our way to promotion and Steve Corica was a legend.... Might just be me though.
Ric Flair Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 I don't have fond memories of the man. The 4-2 win against Portsmouth at home was a class game though, I think Roberts got a hat-trick and Corica scored aswell. It's weird because I remember more matches and moments from the Little era than I do from the brief McGhee era, even though McGhee arrived after Little. I suppose with him only staying for less than a year it's easy to forget.
Katy Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 He was a knob. At least lovely Bri had a reason for leaving us for Villa.

Shum Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 I do remember the game away to West Brom which we won 3-2, the passing and goals we scored were amazing! Spider did make 2 clangers though!

We were like a man utd of Div 1. We used to just pass our way round like nobodies business, it seemed like we were genuinely playing our way to promotion and Steve Corica was a legend.... Might just be me though. I agree with you, at least. I think McGhee did do a good job with us. Like most, I detested his move at the time and loathed him for a good few years; but I read his comments last year (about leaving City to be the worst decision of his career - and admitting his errors and apologising to City fans) and, I for one, sort of forgive him. There was some talk a couple of months ago (when he left Brighton), about him possibly coming back to us as a 'Director of Football' - having worked with Kelly in the past (apparently they got on well) and with him having a good deal of management experience (especially 'wheelin and dealin' - which I think is Kelly's weakness). I think he'd do a good job WITH Kelly. We know MM is all for Directors of Football (I've no idea if he's got any connections with McGhee) - IF all goes through (and I do think 'there's many a slip between cup and lip' - I rate his takeover as only 50/50 likely, given our current Board's lack of foresight), possibly Mc Ghee could be an answer, to help boost the management team (what DOES Miller do ?!)
davieG Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 It was atttractive quality football, but lacked effectiveness in that there was a lot of neat passing but very little end product - goals for the effort put in. This may have been because of a lack of quality players but teams had certainly sussed us out and used to let us pass it around until we lost it and then counter attack. There wasn't sufficient variety in his tactics.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Somewhat sadly, my main memory of McGhee is when we went to Molineux and Heskey won us the game.
Ric Flair Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Somewhat sadly, my main memory of McGhee is when we went to Molineux and Heskey won us the game. And someone threw a flare (no, not me) at Heskey after he scored his 2nd goal.
ithuriel Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 And someone threw a flare (no, not me) at Heskey after he scored his 2nd goal. i thought it was a flask , by the tartan wheelchair brigade
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 3 November 2006 Author Posted 3 November 2006 i thought it was a flask , by the tartan wheelchair brigade it was definately a tartan thermos.... whats with people throwin mobile phones too?? my phones worth £250, im never throwing it..... 2p coin good enough for me. £2 coin if you want to do some real damage...
Manwell Pablo Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 it was definately a tartan thermos.... whats with people throwin mobile phones too?? my phones worth £250, im never throwing it ..... 2p coin good enough for me. £2 coin if you want to do some real damage... It's not exactly hard to trace back to the owner either.
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 3 November 2006 Author Posted 3 November 2006 It's not exactly hard to trace back to the owner either. yeah exactly, they might aswell throw their wallet, house keys, passport etc....
martyn Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Was Mark Draper playing for us in the MM era - he was absolute quality for us in 1 particular season - Corica was more hit and miss for me.
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Was Mark Draper playing for us in the MM era - he was absolute quality for us in 1 particular season - Corica was more hit and miss for me. Yes - Brian Little bought Draper in summer 1994 after we got promoted. He was class for that season we had in the Premiership - my favourite player at the time. I think he was only with us a year (during which time Little left and McGhee took over), then Little took him to Villa again. Anyone know what he's doing now?

The Don Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 yeah he's plastering my lounge Draper He's nearly 37 now. I feel old
FrankieWorthoYaggedMyWife Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Draper was crap! Nicky Mohan, now theres a legend!!!!!
Katy Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Draper looked good that one season we had in the Prem under Little/McGhee because the rest of the players we had were piss poor.
ithuriel Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Draper looked good that one season we had in the Prem under Little/McGhee because the rest of the players we had were piss poor. both walshie and joachim were injured for most of that season and parker and robins came in when it was basically too late. roberts was top scorer that season with i think nine goals , he was our top scorer for three seasons and then we sold him for more than a million , not bad business for a player that cost about a quarter million.
