Dom Ball - new Matthew Rose ? 10:59 - Sep 24 with 1784 viewspaulhoop2

Been thinking Dom Ball seems to be the ultimate utility player almost Matthew Rose level
! CB , RB , CM , DM played almost everywhere. Who was your favourite utility player? For me got to be Matty Rose although did have a soft spot for George Santos !

Poll: Now it’s slightly clearer cut who do you want as manager ?

Funny you mention him.

My little girl came home from school literally yesterday and said one of her football coaches used to play for QPR. Step forward Mr Rose.

I told her not to tackle him in case he shatters.

Marcus Bignot was superb. Left Back, right back or midfield, always performed well.

Well rose was coaching at Barnsley last year. Yea the glass man lol think he deserves an induction to forever Rs I believe he did 10 years service but no testimonial. Poor really as I know he’s associated with the dross 00/01 team but always liked him. Yes bignot was very versatile I’d forgot that. Can’t really remember many more. Possibly Steve Palmer ? Would like Clive to interview Palmer and Rose actually .

Can she help facilitate an interview? Just checked and was quite surprised to find Rose made just shy of 300 apps for us over a 10 year period - not too shabby. Would be interested to know how he felt about his career from an injury point of view. That uber-classy 90th min winner at Brighton is what sticks in my mind, especially as he didn't score a lot.

Ruining Theo Walcott's last game before leaving Southampton, the heartless monster. Yuk yuk.

Marc Nygaard in midfield, worst utility player?

First off, Matthew Rose played mostly in the medical room. How anyone could have a soft spot for this bludger is beyond me. Dom Ball is nothing like him.

Next, Dom Ball has featured mainly in midfield, either in CM or DM. I wouldn't necessarily describe him as a utility player.

If you must make comparisons then I would say Bignot is a better shout in that he was not the most naturally gifted but gave everything for the team.

Rose may have been on the payroll for 10 years but he didn't provide 10 years service.

I remember John Gregory cracking a joke that Prav was leaving the club because with Rose moved on he no longer had any work to do.

I remember him scoring a very good right footed goal from left back against West Ham too, in the same season he scored the worldy against Brighton.

I have no idea what he is like in real life, but he was programmed to be a right miserable bugger on Championship Manager 01/02 and 03/04 - he always left as soon as he could at the end of his contract because he wanted more money/more games/wanted to be an indispensable player etc etc... could never keep him more than the first season!

I have nicknamed the neighbour's black cat Bignot because he has a great leap for a little guy.

My silver birch tree is nicknamed Nygaard.

Still 300 games in 10 years not to be sniffed at. Can’t see Many others last 10 / 20 years as much as service. Ball has played across the back line and as a rm too

I always thought he was a great player for us when fit. Didn't realise he was with us that long and played that many games though.

Last year, I had a 60ft Birch tree in my garden and one morning in April, without warning, it came crashing down, missing my garage, greenhouse and shed by inches. It missed me by just a few feet. I hadn't thought of giving it a name?

I'm sniffing at it. 294 appearances in 10 years is a poor return, and many of those were as a substitute. When he did play he was distinctly average. Stole a living in football.

You clearly had low standards. One of a clutch of underwhelming players that we picked up from Arsenal who contributed to our demise into League 1.

Oh sorry to hear that it fell down.

How about Mbia as a nickname? He was prone to unexpectedly and spectacularly crashing to the ground.

Actually almost exactly the same annual appearance average as Alan McDonald and Kevin Gallen, so maybe review your maths. (Not sure how many were off the bench.)

It would be interesting to interview him now and hear his own assessment of his Rangers career.

I always liked Rose. He'd have been great as one of 3 in our current system, and I seem to remember we did play that a few times and he looked great when we did it.

Bignot definitely played everywhere other than upfront so he would have to get the best utility player for me.

We used ti travel to games with his Dad.... His Son loved the club and I think when he was fit he gave 100%, which many pro's now and back then were guilty of not doing.

Certainly deserves something back

Some very harsh comments here about Matthew Rose. Stepped in for Shittu due to injury at the end of 2003/4 and was absolutely fantastic. He was a very classy defender, a reader of the game rather than athletic or physical.

Obviously had injury problems but I would say when he was called upon he did well. Had he been played as a specialist centre half for the majority of his career I think he’d have been far better thought of. A victim of his own versatility.
