Bloody hell, most of those players I forgot with the exception of Thurman, who I will never forget the QPR game at home when I watched almost the whole game through my fingers.
Subs; McCormack, Francis, Church, Rojo, Gary Doherty, Dodoo, Leon Clarke, El Haji Ba, albeit some of these players were Charltonised and found greener pastures elsewhere.

You was lucky mate prior to that I saw him weetabix one from 30 yards in the 1-0 defeat at Boro and throw two in very late on for a 2-1 defeat at Wigan 😡
Regarding Seabourne, I think we took him on loan as a favour to Southampton, the saints fans who I work with said he was a pain as he was always clubbing in the town and the old club car often had to pick him up, they also said he used to strut around the girls with the "do you know who I am" attitude.
I think Rhys Williams was outstandingly bad when he played for us although to be fair he was unfit like a lot of players we took on loan.
The choice of poor players is pretty staggering but my standout for comedy moments has to be Thuram. Watching him warm up at the Valley was very entertaining.
Similar to what I've done on the best team of the decade
2009/10: Gary Borrowdale 2010/11: Franck Nouble 2011/12: Mikel Alonso 2012/13: Emmanuel Frimpong 2013/14: Yohann Thuram 2014/15: Oguchi Onyewu 2015/16: Zakarya Bergdich 2016/17: Roger Johnson 2017/18: Harry Lennon 2018/19: Sullay Kaikai 2019/20: Beram Kayal
So....
Thuram Onyewu - Johnson - Lennon Bergdich - Alonso - Frimpong - Kayal - Borrowdale Nouble - Kaikai
Maybe a bit harsh on R Williams and Docherty who were great pros we just got too late in their careers. The rest are not only poor footballers but totally gutless, spineless wasters whom do not deserve to have made careers and money from the game and are best forgotten.
Rhys Williams..anyone else recall his performance at Colchester in the cup...
Never went but saw the next two away same week at Huddersfield and Hull 0-5 and 0-6 respectively where he obviously was going from bad to worse. Seriously even in my 60's I think I could have defended better 😡.
I thought Fanni and Motta were OK and there were moments of skill from Kerkar, Zyro and Botaka though all too few. Crofts and Foley were here to do a job and at the end of careers, and Church might have been poor but he did at least try. Some others I remember - McAleney - on loan from Everton and utterly terrible. Of course he scored against us when on loan to Wigan. Lee Novak - never looked bothered. Franck Moussa - he was poor as well, another great signing from Belgium Bergdych - another poor signing with Belgian connections

Scary. That team would struggle in the Isthmian League.

Maybe we need a terrible Belgian-connected 11?
I agree, those players were nowhere near the worst
Not sure why Moussa was so disappointing, he's played over here for years and did really well for Coventry so not new to the league

I actually thought Motta was fairly decent, definitely shouldn’t be in this conversation (not should Fanni TBF)
If we had Suk-Young, Motta, Fanni and Teixeira from the start of that season we'd have been in with a shout of avoiding relegation.
As it happened we had a younger, worse Sarr and a Bauer who didn't play for over half the season, which led us to play Lennon and hopeless loanees like Williams.
I'd put Razak, Borrowdale, Seabiscuit, Johnson, Jonsson and Doodoo in my team, also whoever the player was that came on in the league cup against Southampton away (might be imagining it, but I'm fairly sure he was on loan to us from a Welsh League club)
