As CW has reached his half century with the signing of Sangarre, I thought it would be fun to gauge who people thought his worst ones were. Here are mine...
1 Cole
2 Rhodes
3 Kelly
4 Grant
5 Chalmers

Well that's 10 names out of the 50 already. Not such a good record if you look at it that way.
Unless, of course, the good more than outweighs the bad?

Grant has to be one of the worst players ever to wear the yellow shirt!
His performance at Rushden was a disgrace. Remember when the Radio Oxford interviewer questioned CW on his performance after the game? That was priceless. Made the drive home just about bearable

Can't have Sappleton in there. He single handidly got us 3 points on his debut. Also players like Cain and Chalmers are irrelevent as they had no effect on the team and were over quick as a flash.
1) Franny Green
2) John Grant
3) Jamie Cook
4) Kev Sandwith
5) Marcus Kelly
These are the only 4 I can think of who did Wilder showed faith in and they let him down. Grant wasn't there for long but he played enough to ruin a few games.

Very harsh on Sandwith... How did he let Wilder down?

I knew that would be queried. I just thought he was consistently pants. Gave us nothing going forward except a cleanly struck hoof, and his timing at heading was woeful. I know lots of people thought he was ok but I just never saw it.

Sandwith was awful! all he did was do a long pass to the other teams center back! i remember histon at home and fans around me saying how great sandwith was - i think i counted one pass all game that went to a yellow shirt!
bit harsh on Cole as he hasn't really given a chance to prove himself to wilder.

I know lots of people thought he was ok but I just never saw it. Totally agree with you. Thought he added absolutely nothing and couldn'y keep the ball on the ground. |

I cant see how Sandwith, F Green and Futcher could be described as his five worst signings. All journeyman and all limited but they came in and did a job.
Cook and Cole have to be among the five worst when you consider they would be on decent money. Players like Cain were poor but he was probably on £200 a week so it doesn't really represent a big mistake by CW.

Sandwith was not a particularly good player, but he certainly did not let anybody down and is no where near 'a worst signing'.
The criticism I can only presume is through ignorance of not seeing him play. The rubbish about him not being able to pass is just that. want evidence? Go to the Wrexham home game from the 2008/9 season and the man who played a long raking pass to Yemi to cross for Constable? The man on the end of the cross to win the corresponding game the following season?
Opinions are fine, but why bother posting when you are simply re-hashing ignorant tosh. I bet you all love Jack Midson.

I see that Marcus Kelly comes up quite a bit on people's lists.
In fairness he was pants for us.
But when he played against us for R&D earlier in the season he was absolutely superb. He looked like a championship player. He caused us loads of problems.
So when he joined I was very happy.
Wilder must have see the same thing too - but it is very risky to sign a player based on one performance I know.
These players must have all shown something good at previous clubs. Wilder is not a fool.
Why do you think they play so well elsewhere and the are dog sh*te at Oxford?
