I think the Pratley comparison when it comes to being limited technically isn't doing Darren justice - always thought he was more tidy than people gave him credit for.5

Pratley played in a very technical Swansea side, that tried to pass the ball like prime Barcelona. Even if his role in the side was a defensive one, you don't get to play in such a team if all you can do is run and tackle.LittleAddick said:I think the Pratley comparison when it comes to being limited technically isn't doing Darren justice - always thought he was more tidy than people gave him credit for.2 -

He very rarely gave the ball away for us.1 -
I don't think he was that good technically, and I heard him say it himself a few times, but it's all about opinions at the end of the day. And he was good for us.
Still, I know people don't enjoy NJ's brand of football, but I've never disliked watching us more than the Pratson era...1 -
Not sure Pratley deserves to be in the same breath as Watson. I’ll give you foley and crofts as an even worse era .Chunes said:I don't think he was that good technically, and I heard him say it himself a few times, but it's all about opinions at the end of the day. And he was good for us.

This is some genuinely breathtaking revisionism lmao. You should be forced to watch every game we played in that era with your eyes held open like in A Clockwork OrangeLittleAddick said:

This was worse though, yes. And Gilbey/Arter was somehow even worse than thatwmcf123 said:

Granted I missed that era. Was living abroad and that was before the days of watching games on a stream. Seems I did myself a favour there.wmcf123 said:

Was it against Portsmouth when Arter, Watson and Gilbey all played . Somehow we didn’t lose .Leuth said:

Think it's a shame we're only remembering Pratley for his last season when he was 36 by the end of it! And not the two before that where he played a crucial role.Leuth said:
