fleckneymike Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Before I get lumped in the moron bag, this is not a scape goating exercise (we were rank bad from front to back), this is not an attack on HRH Nigel Pearson, this is not a we're never getting promotion thread but a genuine question. Has there been a worse full debut than Futacs in all the years you've been going down? There may well have been worse players (Welsch, Low, Lewis etc) but a worse full debut?
Manwell Pablo Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Last night wasn't his full debut Yes quite correct he started against Burton. Very silly Michael.
fleckneymike Posted 13 February 2013 Author Posted 13 February 2013 Last night wasn't his full debut Which match did he start in? Was it Burton? In which case lock this Pandora's box and throw it over board. I'll take up residence in the moron cabal.
Jfox Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Which match did he start in? Was it Burton? Yes, he and Wood started up front, I'm not sure if he started the Capital One cup game too?
Babylon Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Good question... can't really think of anyone off the top of my head. I remember Brian Carey kung foo kicking somone in the back and being shocking early on. Not sure if that was his first game.
LeicesterAreGoingUp Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 ben mee haha joking he played alright

For the record Junior Lewis was excellent on his debut. Sadly it all went rapidly downhill from there.
cambridgefox Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 No me! I put a header over from a yard on mine.it was nearly impossible to miss but I did it! Yes I know you meant pros!
marko Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 His first touch was shocking at times! Went further than most people could kick it.
Ric Flair Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Wasn't Tom Cleverley the absolute pits on his debut for us as well?
ealingfox Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 When was Akinbiyi's full debut? Cos I'm willing to bet he was worse than Futacs in it.
Bayfox Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 For the record Junior Lewis was excellent on his debut. Sadly it all went rapidly downhill from there. For some reason I thought junior lewis was on loan initially (maybe a short term contract) then when he got a deal he was garbage, or is my memory of this period a wash with to much beer?
Durnerz Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Dion Dublins got to be up there, did nothing all game vs West Ham apart from nut Rufus Brevett and get sent off, most overrated signing we ever made.
cc_star Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Jimmy Willis - seem to remember he had a nightmare and was subbed at halftime, he was subsequently loaned out before coming back and helping us to promotion and in particular a huge performance in the playoff final. Brian Carey had some shockers too, not sure it was his début but in a 4-1 defeat away at Notts County he was awful & booed by lcfc fans throughout... and the cheers from the huge away following when he got red carded were extremely loud.
fleckneymike Posted 13 February 2013 Author Posted 13 February 2013 When was Akinbiyi's full debut cos I'm willing to bet he was worse than Futacs in it. Akinbiyi's debut was against Villa I think, he was bad (the ball bounced off him too) but he wasn't as bad as Futacs. I can remember sitting watching MOTD as they tried to kindly break it to Lineker (who already knew) that Akinbiyi would take 'time' to adjust. Lewis was on loan. As an exile at Uni during that season I can recall reading in the press (via the Fox) that they thought, and I am not making this up, that Lewis 'could' be a real gem and might be in line for an England call up. Think that was in the Mirror.
surrifox Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 seem to recall that Alan Rogers was pretty terrible in his first (and subsequent) games
Guest Electric Yetis Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Yuki Abe v Cardiff was abysmal. He was only on for the last 10 minutes but was terrible. Luckily he picked up after that.
fleckneymike Posted 13 February 2013 Author Posted 13 February 2013 I've just been reminded on another board. Kalac. I'd almost wiped that from my memory.

Think that was in the Mirror. Correct this was presumably because of Tater Peeler's England connections at the time when he had been part of the coaching set up. I remember the anxiety before the Wycombe FA cup game as Lewis had been injured and might not be fit to play

dmayne7 Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 No me! I put a header over from a yard on mine.it was nearly impossible to miss but I did it! Yes I know you meant pros! I bagged a brace in a mini pre season tournament then scored from 20 yards for my other team 5 mins after coming on. I had such a bright future in the game
TrentFox Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 Actually, Lineker's was the worst I've seen. Big Jock was blooding the kids and he was a scrawny 16 year old (?) Who looked like he'd got frost-bite. Never touched the ball as a right winger and disappeared at half-time. Presumably to be defrosted.
Rusko187 Posted 13 February 2013 Posted 13 February 2013 ben mee haha joking he played alright Haha was it 2 penalties on his Debut? I remember thinking "get him off quick".
