That season Tommy Lee played 35 league games for us, but he wasn't there when the decimated team (from our promotion) was finding its feet and the keeper who was specifically signed as serious competition for him, Greg Fleming proved pretty poor behind an ever-changing defence. Sheridan treated us to 15 different players in defence that season .... which seems a strong explanation for our failure (and 12 loans hardly helped):-

Neal Trotman 23 games
Gregor Roberston 14 games
Jamie Lowry 2 games + 4 as sub
Simon Ford 18 games
Greg Fleming 9 games + 1 as sub
Drew Talbot 43 games
Nathan Smith 22 games + 3 as sub
Dean Holden 9 games + 5 as sub
James Hurst 10 games
Ole Soderberg 2 games
Jonathan Grounds 13 games
Scott Griffiths 3 games
Josh Thompson 20 games
Liam Ridehalgh 20 games


Jamie Lowry was gay? I didn't know that. I thought Hitzlesperger was our only known gay player.

Bowery played 48 games that season, but I don't think he combined too often with Boden for full games, because Craig Westcarr was there most of the time and Mendy played most weeks too.

When you look how durable Drew Talbot was in those days it's a shame that some of Bobs that somehow he's guilty of the injuries he suffers these days. He played 51 games in all that season.
