Worst Ever Boro 11 - We have our team!

Guzan was dreadful, he palmed every shot he faced into the middle of the 6 yard box so anyone following up had an easy tap in.

Also seemed to think the wall's job on free kicks was to protect him rather than the goal.
 
Yeah I'd go with Brad Guzan too. He was uniformly dreadful in that PL campaign I could not understand how he kept getting a game and making the same errors week after week. I suppose that taken out of context Andy Dibble was worse but context is important and Brad should never have been here. Even if Dimi had performed just as badly it would have saved us the money we paid the useless spud
 
Also, went to watch Stockport v Walsall a few weeks ago at half time Andy Dibble was presented with his unique number/certificate from County. And didn't drop it. Managed to carry it off the pitch. Good job I was sat down, would never have believed it..........

Got a good reception from the Stockport fans, did well there for the couple of years he was there by all accounts.🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
 
It’s got to be Ben Roberts. I can’t even put into words the experience of making the FA Cup final for the first time EVER; the unmitigated joy of walking up Wembley Way, mingling with old schoolmates, family, strangers in outrageous hats and outfits - full of joy, hope and pride; singing ‘Abide With Me’ with 40,000 Teessiders - a dream I’d had since I was a kid. Then sitting down with happy tears in my eyes, and WTF!!!!!! 1-0 down before my bum had hit the seat. Useless arms-open ‘gesture’ from Ben in the general direction of a DeMatteo speculative hoof and TOTAL DESOLATION and ‘OH GOD, PLEASE, NOT AGAIN!!’

More deflation than the Hindenburg. Ecstacy to total despair in a nanosecond.

Festa’s perfectly good goal being disallowed just felt like the Gods were against us, but Ben Roberts destroyed a dream inside a few minutes, just like PE with Kate Bush.

That wonderful day in Cardiff did do some healing, but that moment at Wembley still has me wake up in sweats in the night. And, yes, my grandma COULD have saved it.

p.s. This could be a fantastic thread - oh sweet Jeezy Creezy, have we had some donkeys in our time!

P.s. Although, i must add an honourable mention for Andy Dibble’s performance in that 5-0 against QPR. It was actually funny it was so terrible. I think that they sussed early on that if they kicked it in the general direction of the goal, they were pretty much guaranteed to score. He was like an anti-Pears or Schwarzer - from a parallel universe of total ineptitude.

As above he did well here for half a season in 1990-91 - people forget that
 
Ben Roberts out in front so far - with competition from Guzan, Lumley and o’Hanlon.

Can’t count Dibble I’m afraid as I’m presuming people are just referencing his 2nd spell where he only played 2 games.
 
Lumley, utter garbage, made the full team scared to death when charging out every 5 minutes and most shots just went through him like he wasn't there.
