I'd love to watch that Prosinecki game back and see what I missed. All I remember is us playing them off the park yet Beasant making one great save after another. Only touch I recall of Prosinecki was the penalty (spoke to Kilner a few years back and he said the same), yet it seems it's viewed as one of the best performances ever witnessed at EP.

Yeah, it's probably a bit of a Mandela effect with it. Sure he was decent but probably just that. Ainsworth is always the one I immediately think of for standout opposition performances. Nathan Tyson too in 2005.

I think a lot of people call him out because of his achievements and the clubs that he'd played for previously. Players of that ilk make things look very easy almost like they are cruising through games. If it had been Hagi or Stoichkov playing that day I'm sure they'd be remembered similarly regardless of them trotting around for 90 minutes.

My memory is that he rarely moved out of the middle third and he didn't do much out of the central area of the middle third either! However, what he did do was put his foot on the ball and knock precision passes to whoever he wanted to knock a precision pass to, quite often someone he'd pointed to in order to tell them where he wanted them to go in order to receive his precision pass...

Very much like Merson for Walsall in 2004. Barely covered more than 20 yards all game but everything went through him.

We played them away final game of the season and lost 3-0. For some reason a hundred or so County fan went on the pitch and ballooned around and shook hands with Chris Turner after the final whistle.

Agreed on Ainsworth.
Much lower level, but Danny Rowe for Fylde in the NLN days was another one where one player looked massively above everyone else.

If they can get him on the pitch. It sounds like they've invested in the new keeper to their detriment. He's a loanee from middlesbro. Brynn was far better from them last season.

Sometime you have to give the new guy a fair chance and if it doesn't work out it doesn't. We've had numerous new guys come in and wrest control of the keepers jersey from Ben and more often than not have gone on to fail longer-term. Current guy looks a contender but we just don't know how good he is because we've not seen him do too much keeping in the three games thus far.
