A miserable sod who saw this coming before plenty of you, remember

and has been saying for months *exactly* what everyone on here is now saying (either you weren't here, or you're hiding behind a new name of course).

"Green, Safri and Huckerby are all, on form, right at the very top of the Championship. And I don't think you'd find too many in football who disagreed with that."

I love that. 'I'll say that no-one in football disagrees with me, so I must be right.'

Well I'm sorry, but you're not. If everyone in football recognises Safri's greatness, why was no-one else after him after 3 years as a Coventry journeyman? Or if it was all on last year, why did not a single prem club make an offer? Or even be rumoured to?

And have you noticed just how little faith Sven and the England coaches have in Green? Or how few, if any, offers we've had for him?

As for Hucks - here I'm closest to agreeing with you. Almost mentioned him in my first post. My worry is the two years since he was outstanding for us haven't passed without making an impression on a player who relies on his pace. But agree I could be wrong on that.

        Green, Hucks, Safri, Drury, Davenport would get in virtually all Championship teams IMO (NCFC) - DefConOne, Nov 6, 21:11:52
        
        we definitely over-rate Drury, Dav isn't ours, (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 6, 21:16:46
        
        Yes, but looking at the first XIs that won the Division in 2004, and now: (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 6, 21:24:16

        Crouch was here for three months of an eight month season (NCFC) - Knee Jerk Reaction, Nov 6, 21:50:42
        
        Yeah, fair play. My point was that we do have some quality in the squad. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 6, 21:33:51
        
        Each to his own opinion. (NCFC) - DefConOne, Nov 6, 21:21:06
        
        Absolutely no way. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 6, 21:35:25
        
        The fact that you rate Saf so lowly shows your limited football knowledge (NCFC) - Knee Jerk Reaction, Nov 6, 21:51:40
        
        Yes Tricky, but take a look at this squad: (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 6, 21:46:35
        
        Agree 100% (NCFC) - Knee Jerk Reaction, Nov 6, 21:55:53

        Bet they're still laughing at us now! (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 6, 22:04:10
        
        Agree with that 100% (n/m) (NCFC) - Ashton4England, Nov 6, 21:28:57
        
        plus Ashton of course! (NCFC) - DefConOne, Nov 6, 21:14:22
        
        Yes, but at Championship level Green *is* a very, very good goalkeeper. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 6, 21:11:23
    - Green is a very good goalkeeper when on form ... (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Nov 6, 20:54:09
      - Ooooh spooky, the very same players I mentioned (NCFC) - Knee Jerk Reaction, Nov 6, 20:57:20
