My view of Cerny is that he enjoyed throwing himself around dramatically, but was actually a pretty average goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was great until the relegation season where he was just as culpable as the rest. The first goal conceded in the play-off (immediately after we took the lead) was very poor keeping and crucial, I thought, in the way the tie went.

Archie got quite a bit right with regards to guys like Nitransky that too me was one of the weak parts of Archies reign his signing policy- I didn’t think he had great contacts and it wouldn’t surprise me if a couple of agents took advantage of this in punting him a few duds. thats at least 2 poor signings we made recommended to him by their mates. Abdul Osman recommended Mathias Pogba and Cerny recommended Nitransky.

That was a nightmare season, It was injury after injury, we lost our full backs with broken ankles, then Osman broke his shoulder blade and that was him out for most of the season. It was rumoured that the player chosen to take his place would not play as a defence midfielder. We then lost the only centre back who could head the ball clear from set pieces. One day he just vanished and then we found he just buggered off back to Coventry for a better deal. Tomas who had been carrying an foot injury for quite a while, finally gave up and we had to play Scully for the last few games, who we all knew was not up to it. We patched Tomas up for the play-off, but this back-fired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, they all flopped at other clubs under different managers, so maybe. Or maybe we had them playing well above their natural ability for a short time?

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Barton's heart was hardly in the game, so unsurprising we only got one good season out of him. Skilful player who if he had wanted to could have played a level above us. Keown was always going to have to play his top game as he certainly didn't have the height and physical presence of his father. Dumbuya was another loss. For a time he looked the real deal. Osman was perhaps the biggest disappointment and loss. Whether it was down to off field interests or losing what pace he had is anyone's guess. Certainly if he went in any later on a tackle he'd have been a liability. He'd previously been picking up enough yellows for legit tackles as it was. Another two from seasons or so earlier who I reckon never recovered from injuries were Higgy and Stevenson, Can't mind about the nature of Kallum's injury but I reckon when he came back he'd slowed down just that split second for an opposition player to anticipate what he was up to. Stevenson was playing well leading up to yon end of season game at NDP. But for that we may well have got another season out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
