I'm seeing Mark later, I'll let him know you said that! He'll be pleased he has not been forgotten!

ME was the orginal steady Eddie! Never let us down, but never basked in glory of MOM performances. every team needs the unspoken heroes!

No backtracking from me, i have pretty m,uch consistently said what i just said. Time to let it go i think angry. Decent player who did a decent job. You can only glory in your little victory for so long mate.

Don't get many victories Triz, let me enjoy for a little while longer?
I normally keep out of the Eustace threads.

We will have to agree to disagree though Triz.

Spot on, I sometimes still call him steady Eddie!

He's a really nice guy and still cares about the club, although he plays a lot of tennis these days. His doubles partner is Dean Sturridge, bloody hilarious watching them play!

fair one

Eustace is a good defensive midfielder. I reckon those singing eustace's praises were just recognising how effective that role was for us and what a difference he made. We were crying out for a Def Mid until he arrived, and our team clicked into gear with him protecting the back 4. I don't think many thought a 34 year old journey man was the answers to our prayers, he was always a stop gap. Even less expected a replacement as great as Thorne. But he is a good player who improved our team a great deal. I for one appreciate the points he helped us gain that have us sitting in 3rd.

I'm going to have to agree with Triz on this, to be fair I think Eustace (along with other players) seemed to up their game after McClaren's arrival, but McClaren would not have waited to play Thorne in the team until Eustace's suspension if he didn't think Eustace was doing a decent job.

Also its hardly fair to compare a young player of premier league class,
