Chadwick doesn't understand why Sheridan didn't give him a chance

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]


Maybe because Sheridan was watching at Port Vale, and is well aware (amid current allegations corrupting football) one might have accepted money to get red carded.

Because your A LAZY shit nick thats why. All the best at Tamworth and thanks for the glimpses you shown but seriously you had two bites of the cherry and several managers here couldnt wait to get rid of you.

Lazy is spot on. He always seemed to be acting the part of a professional footballer. Or perhaps he just wasn't very good.

Good luck at Tamworth but he always seemed to improve greatly ans score goals when he was negotiating a new contract. Then when contract was signed he returned to his usual shitness .

Utter shite.One description that couldn't be applied to Chadwick was lazy.Do you seriously think that he'd have played so many times under Pulis if he wasn't prepared to pull his weight? Chadders played his part in keeping us in the CCC and in the football league a couple of seasons ag,so his contribution wasn't entirely negligible.It was the right time for all concerned for him to move on but as a professional footballer with any sort of self esteem of course you'd be disappointed at not being in the managers thoughts.If anything deserves the "lazy" tag,it would be your post,certainly from an intellectual point of view.

I remember being absolutely livid with Chadwick after getting sent off for a meaningless and stupid challenge early doors in that game when we got dicked 4-0 at Port Vale.
That drubbing by all accounts was directly attributed to his stupid actions.

I wouldn't have called him lazy in fact his one redeeming feature was that he would put a shift in, I think ability was his biggest lack coupled with age catching up with him. I always liked Chadwick as a player but he always looked like a player to hang onto as we slid down the leagues rather than going the other way.

the guy was lazy on the pitch. He played when it suited him and when he got what he wanted he couldnt be bothered.
as for the rest of your post not interested as its beyond childish.

That was the thing with Chadders. He always looked absolutely knackered when he came off the pitch and showed willing by attempting to close down defenders and generally run around a bit.

But, when you actually watched him close up, most of the time he was really just pretending and it was all huff and puff. We've all done it when we've played - sometimes you just can't be bothered to close down your man but you know the manager's watching so you'll simulate it.

How he's managed to fool so many people over the years is beyond me. He really is lucky that he scored against us in that Cup match.

Have to say I always thought he was a 100%er, particularly his first spell. Very limited ability, mind.

I must admit I thought that we had a real player on our hands when I saw him score that goal, sad thing is I think the deal had already been done, didn't we have a decent player go the other way to Everton? Mason or Gosling?

Excuse me, the emboldened bit, you may have done that Lloyd, and your father, but I certainly never did.  

I have come to a conclusion it's an emotional thing. Players either get involved or they don't.
Chadders was definitely one of those that went through the motions. But then that's his character. It's all presentation, as his very good radio work has shown.
Nice guy, shame about the football. 250K we supposedly paid for him !
He didn't even impress me in that Everton game. Poor defensive play on our part. Doumbe had a shocker that day, ball watching.
And yes Iggy, I think it was Gosling and it was another Mariner/Peddelty transfer fix on a smaller scale. They knew Chadders was going to be a duffer.

I used to think that, but Chadwick's performances for Fletch up until Rovers away when Fletch got the bullet were an embarrassment.

Difficult to forget that one when we had a striker who couldn't be bothered to run, move or jump for perfectly decent balls. And falling over without any contact - my God it really was embarrassing.

The Port Vale incident, which I stress must be looked at again in light of the deliberate red card match fixing scandal, was just the tip of the iceberg. He had been in pathetic form for a good ten games by then.

Sheridan is no mug and could see instantly he didn't have the hunger or the attributes for where this team was going.

Cause you are a donkey.

Makes you think why the f... Argyle signed him in the first place.

To be fair to chadwick, he looked like alan shearer compared to warren feeny and the fireman, certainly not the worst striker we ever had, but what was fat bob doing. paying two hundred and fifty grand for slick nick when we was in the champ?

Have to disagree- at least Feeney and Griffiths could occasionally do something with a football other than make it fly about 4 feet away. Chadwick really was the pits- the absolute bottom of the barrel.

His main fault was that he did not appear to be interested.

'Getting away with it' would sum him up for me - he looked the complete package when he stormed from the centre circl for the Toffees, poor excuse for a pro footballer and we got lumbered twice!!

Gosling didn't even make his Argyle debut until two years later but that fits in with most of the other bullshit talked on this thread.

WATCH FOOTBALL
LIVE FOOTBALL
TALK SHITE!

Instead of asking why he wasn't played, he should be thanking the club for giving him that second contract.
Never rated him as a footballer as quite frankly he was shite

Chadwick signed in about 2004 and Gosling went to Everton in about 2008.

Cant be arsed to actually check my facts but they were nowhere near - Bobby Williamson signed Chadwick, Pulis got the best out of him, Holloway developed Gosling and Sturrock sold him when he came back.

As I say, not even close. We had three different managers in between.

You're obviously right there Greenskin, can't for the life of me think why I got that so wrong. Post Ridsdale, I've been losing my Argyle touch. Something at the back of my mind says the Chadders 250K was not a straight cash deal. Can't be bothered to look back as to why I thought that.

Chadders was still hopeless though.  
Time hasn't dulled my memory of that.

I dont think his 15 second starter against Crystal Palace was that hopeless.And who could forget his goal at Reading or indeed Sunderland and his goal against Brighton was sublime.Chadders didn't score many tis true but they were memorable...well to anyone that saw them of course...present company excepted,,,,,,,,,
