Kalvin Phillips

Maine Rd was a bearpit at times to our own players, we were known for it
As a kid heard booing of Ian Bowyer, Big Joe , Derek Jefferies if I'm not mistaken. Also cheering when Joe would catch the ball hardly did his fragile confidence any good. Only heard Joey Barton booed at the stadium but he deserved it.
 
Just been reading Rodri 21/22 thread, starting at the beginning it was an interesting read on how we perceive Pep's thoughts on a player in our opinion.
One comment that raised a smile was " second worse player to Mendy" and some "get rid now" thrown in for good measure.
Think it turned out well in the end for him.
I haven't got an opinion on Phillips making it here or not because he hasn't had a decent run in the team and I really don't watch matches where city are not involved.
Judging him against the Rodri we are seeing now is not possible so far but city don't get it so wrong often and I hope there's a decent player in him, only time will tell.
 
Think he stays until the January window and by then he'll have been getting some meaningful playing time or (more likely in my view) he'll have realised that it's not going to happen with us and go somewhere on loan with the hope of a permanent move next summer.

Ian Bowyer was the first boo boy I was aware of. There have been plenty since, some deserved (Mills, Clough, Fowler (IMO)) and some not (Towers).

Edghill received dogs abuse, i was made up for him when he had the massive gonads to take a pen in the play off final & duly scored.

Yes, I remember those three from the distant past. The worst one was when we were playing Newcastle and I think we were 4-0 up and Joe let a Malcolm MacDonald daisy cutter through his legs. The next time he picked the ball up there was a loud cheer from parts of the crowd, it wasn't as if his howler affected the outcome but I can only imagine what that crowd reaction did to his confidence.
