Longest serving player?

[palexander]

With Grant gone, our 'longest serving player' stat is going to be quite unique in its lowness isnt it?

Who is it anyways? I'm guessing Clohessey with around 90 appearances?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Gilbert and Corr were Sturrock's first signings.

 

[Beefy]

Ferdinand, Bentley and Chambers, surely?

Were at the club but weren't signed as pro's.

You are right about Clohessy but it's 107 appearances in league, FA Cup, League Cup and JP trophy. Hall is next on 102 then Barker with about 100.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Longest serving player doesn't go by first team appearances, it's length of time spent at the club.

 

[palexander]

You know what I mean! :raspberry: (or rather I knew what I meant! - Appearances).

But either way, we must be pretty much the only club where the most appeared player is someone with just over 100 games?

Anyways, doesnt matter - I'm just bored.

You might be right but there's huge turnover of players at lower league clubs every summer these days. We're not the only ones, although obviously the summer of 2010 was exceptional circumstances. Few players outside the Premier League stars stay at a club for more than 3/4 seasons nowadays.

Last season, the players we had in our team had played more times for Plymouth than most of the Plymouth squad added together... or something like that. I know they had a really inexperienced side.

That was almost certainly the case with Bournemouth and us last season as well. Possibly Dagenham as well, purely with Maher.

And during the first half at least they were clearly the better side in that match at Roots Hall last September(certainly in terms of chances missed).

A quick look at the league table suggests that they were clearly not the better side over the course of the season which is all that really matters.

Not to someone who seems to thrive on the negative - not that I mind you understand - bring back Blue79 I say.

Which means **** all as they went home with no points.:dim:

I hope you're not suggesting that finishing 4th means **** all as we didn't go up ?

Well I wasn't but as it happens you're right!!!

I'm guessing he meant chances 'created' raher than missed ?????:whistling:

 

[dan_mays]

[Napster]
