When has a player turned it around how BBD has? I never thought he was as bad as some made out early on but hes been very good of late.

When has a player turned it around how BBD has? I never thought he was as bad as some made out early on but hes been very good of late.

Briefly, Gary Teale. Signed in 2007 from Wigan, for maybe 40 games he was shocking, then by some miracle (or some ringer adopting his life) he turned things around and for the next maybe 25 games he was unplayable, earning a nickname a bit like Matt Clarke has done recently, Tealinho. His form then drifted a bit again and his contract wasn't renewed at the end of 2010

Also, Bruce Rioch had a shocking first few games, I recall the BBG crowd cheering his replacement during a game against Burnley. He soon turned things round and emerged as a real battering-ram midfielder
