Chris Thorman must be up there as well for one of the worst halfbacks after that away game at Cas I think it was? Matt Sing was another quota player we didn't see the best of

To be fair to Thorman, he did have a couple of good games (away at Bradford in 2009 being one).

Webster played once (after much hype) and performed like a punctured tyre. 100% of games played = pants.

Yes I remember being at that match, Thorman was terrible that day at Cas, didn't he leave the pitch making gestures with his fingers towards FC fans as we was getting so much stick?! I'm sure that was the Josh Cordoba cameo match. Thorman was equally bad if not worse in the league defeat away at Leeds that season. Funnily enough his FC career started so promisingly on that very ground of Headingley in a pre-season friendly match, for JJB testimonial if I recall? I remember chatting to the FC fans who were there saying 'at last we have a halfback who will direct us round the park'

My word, Thorman was awful. I remember when we signed him thinking "he'd be a good back up half, let's see who our main half is." And then he got the 7 shirt. Just wasn't up to the pressure.

I was at Cas. Fans were very cruel. I think it was the start of an era of booing our own players for poor performances being commonplace (fans were very frustrated) and a big feeling of negativity being around the club. We were overcritical as fans and it was having an even more negative effect on players. I think, as a group, our fans started to tone it down after the Seymour incident. (Although it's easy not to boo your own players when they're playing well!)

Remember cordoba for a few reasons, starting a fight with fozzard at rovers, and nearly snapping someone in half in catalan. Gabbing to his girlfriend all the way to france was a decent experience to
