That's ridiculous. Jason Brown was alright.

Nouble was also terrible
At least Nouble put the effort in.

David Partridge wasn't great. Neither was Ryan Dickson or Scott Fitzgerald.

Nah, he was poor. Overweight and conceded 5 goals in 3 games including 2 against droylsden.

To be fair, Scott Fitzgerald was pretty tied up writing the Great Gatsby.

Kristian O'Leary, I just remember him coming on and offering absolutely nothing except an arse in comparable width to the west stand

I remember he hit one good half volley that was saved... that was it. Goes into the Scowcroft / Parkin bracket of overweight, unfit pros looking for one last payday.

Scott Fitzgerald. One league game. One red card. Rubbish.

Sam Parkin is up there for me. Was absolute tosh in almost every game he played for us, despite being told by Ling at the time we were signing a top striker. If it was my most disliked loans then Dean Morgan would have been up there, but he was the better of the two talent wise.

O’Leary was so bad (and so fat) it was embarrassing for us as a club to have him turn out.
One of Geraint Williams’ drinking pals by all accounts.
Played at the same time as Scowcroft, who whilst not a loanee, was a colossal disappointment bordering on embarrassing too.

Another shout for Michael Marks (1988). Utter toilet and came with a degree of expectation too being a Millwall player.

Parkin was poor but I do believe he tried whereas the 3 above just could not give a s***

Inexplicably, Dawkins got a 3 year contract at Derby I think, before they realised quite quickly he was a glass-ankled nonentity

No bordering about it, he was an embarrassment. There was one through ball he had a 10 yard start and still gave up on it. I think of all the bad strikers he tops my list with a grand total of 0 goals.

The terminally confused Rowan Liburd also warrants a mention.
