before he broke his ankle, Jay Smith was far better than Kevin Maher.
0 goals in 8 games for a struggling Oldham side would suggest you're right!Jake Cassidy (why some people wanted to sign him in the summer I will never know)

400,00 paid by fat Fry for the nearly as fat Garry Poole, what a waste of money that we could never scrape together now.

Fry must have thought he was good, but i take your point.With respect no one ever thought Gary pool was any good let alone brilliant. Save him for the biggest waste of money thread.
When we were buzzing under Fry, Gary Poole was doing fine.
He performed a lot worse under Taylor.
Remember him having a howler at home to West Brom. Think he ended up in goal?
A few weeks before, we won 3-1 at Derby, in probably the most complete performance I've seen from a Southend side.
He had a stormer that day,
Small footnote.
At the time, Gary lived in Hockley and we used to have the odd pint or two with him at The White Hart.
We talked about the Derby match and he said about the first goal.
Him and Jonathan Hunt used to have a call of "sid it" when either had to dummy the ball.
On the first goal, Hunt gives him the call and he dummies it for Hunt to score.
Yep, he was offside a lot, but did score a few good goals for us.
Actually played well under Steve Thompson, when he seemed to time his runs better.
