capt_oats Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just now, NorthBank said: I thought he looked pretty decent but did a bad injury not send him back down South? He was only a young lad with us but read the game well and his passing was good but too young for the position and the responsibility. Seems to have been the case re: injury. Robinson references it in the bit of blurb about his signing. Seems we had him in to look at him for a while a couple of weeks ago but has been bouncing a few clubs since he was released by City at the end of the season. He was on trial at Bradford and was at Chesterfield last week. I don't know whether or not Stevie Hammell's injury at the weekend has expedited things a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made his debut at Motherwell on the first game of the season and was the first sweeper I had seem in the stripes for a long while. That day he looked reasonably composed and one of the better signings of that close season. We got beat 1-0 even though I thought we were the better team (did Goody get sent off?). He did make a few mistakes but there was obvious talent about the lad. But he did not last long. Injury and months of rehab ended his brief stint with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the script with him? Any good? He was a Tommy Craig signing. Need I say more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the script with him? Any good? Good young player in the little I saw of him. Was restricted to only a handful of games due to injury and was sent back for that reason. I remember him being pretty good on the ball, reasonably quick, and a bit short for a centre back, but was also capable of playing left back from what I remember. Think he'd have been a good signing but for injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither had much of an impact, TBH. Plummer played a few times in one of our shittest ever teams and got sent home early. Go figure. I literally can't remember the name of the other guy. Petite winger-cum-number-10, which are basically ten a penny in England. Adam Drury? Though Plummer looked decent the one time I seen him play, composed on the ball as you would expect for a Man City Academy player.. but he got injured and went back south.

Far from Tommy Craig's worst signing, although that's not saying much... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Is Plummer not the guy Dundee fans were working themselves into a delirious frenzy about because a few Oldham fans said on Twitter he was their worst ever player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I thought Drury and Plummer were OK. Drury was a bit lightweight. Plummer looked decent enough, especially in first game against Motherwell and a few Well fans seemed to like him that day. Club was a shambles back then so no surprise he went back down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
