Left Back – Sean Newton
This does grate on me a little bit because I don’t think he was the best personality behind the scenes. Asking to go to Notts County on loan and then ending up back in the National League wasn’t the end I envisaged when he first strutted his stuff on the left for us.
It’s hard on Harry Toffolo and perhaps so on Sam Habergham too, but I’ve gone for Newton because when his head was right, he was Football League quality all day long. He could defend well, his attacking menace caused problems and he had a good set piece delivery.
Put it this way; had he been of the right attitude, I suspect he would have been a key player for us as we came up from the National League. He wasn’t, Sam Habergham was and there is a lesson in attitude being as important as talent.
Newton? Has your site suffered from a Cyber attack?!
Football League quality all day long? Was that day February 31st? He couldn’t defend in the National League and I’d argue the fact he is now plying his trade in the same league as fucking Boston tells you everything. He was bang average, and seemingly a complete twat as well. Really can’t believe you think he was better than Sam.
Newton over Harry Toffolo, really ?
Have you been sniffing some christmas spirit ?
Newton wouldn’t get into the Waddington United team in Division 2 of the Lincoln Sunday League. Toffolo, on the other hand, is destined to play at a higher level before long.
Agree with all of the above comments.
Newton ‘could have been FL quality’. Toff is, Sam H was until injury intervened, so on that basis alone both superior to Newton.
Then it comes to the ‘minerals’ and Newton’s severe lack in this department explains why his career has gone the way it has, way too up himself and wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes under the Cowleys or alongside Bozzie.
You’ve taken leave of your senses on this one! Rethink, please – close between Sam and Toff but Toff’s proven quality and consistency at a higher level shades it.
