Brammie Steve Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Not forgetting our own, our very own Kelle Roos. I like him, don't care what anyone else says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBRammette Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Martin of course but have particularly watched Waghorn this season interacting with fans around the ground and he seems a genuine chap giving lots of attention to young fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Martin, Waggy and most definitely Fozzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Good thread. Waggy would be top of my list as I had doubts about him. Duane,Tom Lawrence,Fozzy,Wardrobe,Max Lowe. I’m going to put Bizzle because he seems like a nice lad who could do with an intervention perhaps he should do a week of stuff here. And going off topic Keogh for personal reasons,I’d give him a hug and call him a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sunk in. Taking the thread at face value (mainly cos I am awake early and have the day clear and feel positive we will win)...I think you are a much more caring person than me!! Forsyth definitely! Battled back again and again, feel for the lad and he always gives everything. Bogle.. I wouldn't say he is especially endearing but I rate him as a player..so a possible... Davis at least intellectually he seems to have maturity above the level of some of the other idiots, but 'endearing' is pushing it. Holmes...is small and tries hard, kinda endearing I suppose. Lawrence? Total opposite... Frustrating, flashy... pauper's Ronaldo. Waghorn.. looks like a rugby league player, and drags himself round the pitch with the touch of rugby league player too...although he does seem a decent guy to be fair. Marriott.... 'questionable' attitude, lots of little injuries, feels like unfulfilled potential at the moment, which is not endearing. Sibley and Knight haven't featured enough for me to have an emotion attached to them. Rooney? I am excited...but endearing? Hair transplant, lots of questionable personal stuff, mega-millionaire with a wife who is permanently on holiday...not endearing for me... Endearing doesn't always win you much and I am fully aware my feelings are based on very little other then small-minded irks! Endearing in general...I think requires some kind of connection with the fans and some humility on the part of the player. With the prolonged lack of success, high turnover of players, the recent drinking incident, the Jekyll and Hyde performances home and away, Cocu's restrained personal style....its all combining to create a bit of a 'feel-bad' environment compared to even last year's Lampard feel-good vibe. Casting my mind back..to me... Jim Smith was endearing... Lionel Pickering....Van Der Laan...Tommy Johnson, Chris Powell... But Billy Davies, Shilton, Stimac, Saunders...? They weren't and they did ok .. Anyway...he did ask.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Fozzy. The more the bloke next to me calls him useless the more I love him. Dwayne Holmes seems like my kind of guy, a smiley, good bloke who doesn’t take himself seriously. Waggy because he’s big enough to admit his problems.

I think he's really knuckled down and seems appreciative of what he has post-crash. Must say, before reading any replies, that was the first name to come into my head. I was more than a little livid with him (and others!) at the time, (and made my feelings known on here) and it took a while for me to "calm down", but I do like the way TL appears to have responded to the whole sorry mess, publicly at least. "Endear" is probably too strong a term, but yeah, his reaction thus far has certainly drawn me to him a little. Maybe I'm just going soft in my old age!

mozza Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 I don't 'hate' any of them, just struggling to take to most of them bar the one's I've mentioned. Keogh would have been up there, but for the reasons @Van Cone De Head suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Good question and like others I’m finding it hard to answer. I think for the first time it’s the manager above anyone else. I bloody love Phillip Cocu - his attitude, demeanour, vision for the club. I want us to succeed for him, rather than any specific player. Always wanted to see us get promotion with Keogh and Bryson regardless of who was in charge, but now that’s all over it’s Cocu who I’d like to see reach his goals.

If his recent form (excluding Fulham) becomes permanent, the crash will be the best thing that’s ever happened to him, as a man and a footballer.

Massive wage packet (allegedly?) sulky face, arms in the air, diving...not the word I would use. Great goalscorer and leader of the line on his day...and massive grudging respect for coming back and proving many (myself included) wrong.
