Webbo Posted 25 June 2008 Share Posted 25 June 2008 Some people didn't rate Stearman, fair enough. Some people are disappointed with him for wanting to leave. But lets not pretend that James Chambers is better than him anyway. Not 1 of our many managers last season picked him at RB ahead of Stearman.

The same set of managers whose tactical acumen and player knowledge left us in the bottom half all season, ending up with our relegation? Magic.

Excellent point, I personally wish that Chambers had been given more chances, I feel he remained professional throughout the season always giving his all in the reserves, and I believe that he offered more as an attacking option.

Chambers got injured and by the time he'd fully recovered, Allen had been given the push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Chambers, seems like a good bloke, what with the charity trip and all that, plus not moaning in the press about not being played. Hopefully he'll get the full season to show what he's about (looked good when he played). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simi Posted 25 June 2008 Share Posted 25 June 2008 Yes you're right, when we lost to newly promoted Blackpool. I'm sure Chambers playing right back was the sole reason we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 25 June 2008 Share Posted 25 June 2008 I'm sure Chambers playing right back was the sole reason we lost. We'll never know, but the fact that he started and we lost doesn't prove he's better than Stearman either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 25 June 2008 Share Posted 25 June 2008 We'll never know, but the fact that he started and we lost doesn't prove he's better than Stearman either. No, it was the match that summed up our season- plenty of chances, but no attacking punch in front of goal. I don't think we can say if he is better than Stearman until he's had a full season in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Fox Posted 25 June 2008 Share Posted 25 June 2008 Well the blue eyed boy wonder has deserted the sinking ship the rat, least I wont have to listen to anymore talk of stears the local lad done good playing for his hometown club when hey presto he was born a yam yam wonder how long it will be before he says he supported wolves as a kid When i think of stearman I think long ball down the line to nobody in particular but he will probably do well at wolves as most players who leave suddenly start playing well. Incidently are wolves a bigger club than us and dont say yes because were in league 1 thats like saying wigan are bigger than leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History wise they are, through trophies won, but over the last 15 years, no way, absolutely no way. I'd say we were similar-sized clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hullfox Posted 25 June 2008 Share Posted 25 June 2008 I think we've got something to thank Holloway for. He turned Stearman's performances round in the second half of the season. After the Hull game we'd have been lucky to give the coont away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nibblington Posted 25 June 2008 Share Posted 25 June 2008 Yes you're right, when we lost to newly promoted Blackpool. And we were undefeated with Stearman in the team? Just trying to understand the logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell352 Posted 26 June 2008 Share Posted 26 June 2008 With Stearman gone I wonder who takes his place as our longest serving player? .... Maybe Hume? Oh no he's gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sham Posted 27 June 2008 Share Posted 27 June 2008 Apparently there was an 11th hour bid for stearman from an unknown championship club which was of a higher bid but milan had to be MR NICE GUY SOURCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
