Perhaps among the outfielders, but in his position, I think Bobby was as good as Eunan. He's miles better than liability Gazzanega, and he's in the Premier League having been signed for three million pounds (enough to buy ten Bobbys).

Agree, an outstanding goalkeeper. Lets hope someone else agrees with us - we have a nice juicy sell on clause should he be sold. (Thank you Martin Ling)

Totally agree about Eunan and Bobby being a cut above - both were an absolute pleasure to watch, and true professionals who endeared themselves to fans of a club they knew their ability would take them way beyond.

Remarkably I see Bobby has been dropped to the bench at Posh tonight. They trail 2-0 after conceding twice in the opening seven minutes!

My abiding memory of Murray, sadly, is of him heading against the bar against Wycombe from about 3 yards out. The match finished 0-0 and started the stall of a possible automatic promotion. I think he went back soon after but we kept hold of Tomlin who was excellent in the play-offs.

Good to see he is playing at a decent level of football though. The quality of loans Bucks managed to get in during that season were very good indeed.

My memory of Murray comes from about 30 seconds into his debut against Shrewsbury (a game famous for many reasons). He went in on a geezer in midfield, won the ball, skipped past another challenge (best described as agricultural) and rolled through a ball good enough to eat for Tomlin to pick up, streak away and nick in a classy finish to make it 1-0.

I always have a look out for Bobby on the FLS and I'm not really sure there's a goal which has been his fault, as yet. He hasn't come and flapped at a corner or cross, he hasn't mishit a kick straight to an opponent, he hasn't chucked one in his own net. All the goals Posh concede seem to be pretty ordinary goals, about which no goalkeeper in L1 (or, really, anywhere else) could do anything practical.

As to Eunan, he might well feature on Saturday's Soccer AM. It's Ballmouth doing the crossbar challenge, so there's every chance he'll be on that.

Maybe,the reason that Bobby, appears to have been "dropped", is because there has been interest from another club? Just a thought. That fella, Day was it, that they had between the sticks on Sat; and I believe last night,does not look to be anywhere near the class of Bobby, so either Bobby is looking to move or the young(er) Ferguson needs his head read.

Have to agree with all that has been said here. Bobby & Eunan are the best that I have seen at TUFC. First class footballers (At non premiership level) and, a few other prima donnas, could learn a bit from there exemplary behavour and conduct both on & off the field. I wish they both still played for TUFC, but would like to wish them the very best of luck in their respective playing careers.

He had a very good game playing in front of their back four. Some passes of real quality at times and Roy Keane there to see it..not long before a call up to the EIRE squad. Good work Eunan.
