Miguel Llera makes an awful lot of individual errors (Such as yesterdays challenge for the penalty). What other players have we had that made lots of individual errors like Llera?
It's interesting that the majority of players listed here are defenders. Given that we haven't exactly been free scoring for a long time, I'd propose that most forwards who have played for us in the recent past have been prone to errors (Messrs Mendonca, Hunt and Bent excepted).
Players plying their trade in the third division will have flaws in their game, otherwise they'd be playing in a higher division, so I'd suggest that everyone in the entire squad will be prone to the odd error, as they are all third division players (at best)!
Llera does seem more prone than most to individual errors.
Bailey and kish are good shouts. Jason Euell had a spell when he first came where it seemed easier to score than miss.
Who was the defender when Lennie was manager who come on loan and seemed to score a couple of own goals straight away ? Was it Chris Wilder ? or Balmer ?
even though Llera cost us with an individual error it's a team game. If you want to blame him, which I am not saying you are doing, then equally others are to blame for not creating chances, others for not scoring from those chances etc etc. If we were 2-0 up his error probably wouldn't have hardly got a mention.
Dickson and McLeod. For the few things they did sometimes add, they'd give away the ball too easily with a bad touch, pass or trying to take a player on.
Amdy Faye and Djimi Traore were the kind players who would regularly make mistakes. Traore the kind of defender who would win a tackle and then pass straight back to the opposition.
Llera does seem clumsy but is a 3rd tier player. He has slow feet and if you play on the deck against him you will dominate him.
Put it in the air and its a different game altogether - he's one of the better players in the division.
Bailey did give the ball away a lot but his finishing and late runs into the box sort of covered that up
Jamie Stuart was a constant mistake
Phil Chapple did some daft things
Kiely seemed to struggle to kick straight
Spector was a liability
Kish made a lot but his workrate made up for that
Greg Halford made so many mistakes at right back it was unreal, in midfield he was solid. As long as his arsehole points downwards he will not make a right back though
When Andy Petterson had a bad day it was really baaad
Dave Shipperley's own goal from the half way line against Orient (later reprised by Steve Dowman) took a bit of beating, although he was OK a lot of the time
Actually, I withdraw my previous entries, just remembered Paul Miller's sliderule pass to Les Briley which he proceeded to cannonball into our net from about 35 yards. Set the seal on a particularly dismal afternoon that did.
Comments
I'd add Traore and Faye, but they didn't 'make' errors, they WERE errors
But Kish was still one of my favourite players at that time.
Llera is a different ketle of fish as he's doing it against third division players.
Ditto

Notts County away and Leicester at home (not certain about the home game)

err ? And he's a third division player himself. You'd have a point if we were judging John Terry against third division opponants but we arn't.

El Kakouri seemed to make stupid mistakes
Nicky Bailey

I think Robbie makes quiet a few ricks
Sound positioning and didn't put a foot wrong at Exeter.
Ralph Milne.
Jamie Stuart
Carlo.
Amdy Faye.
One - He never made mistakes (he didn't get involved in the game enough)
Two - He wasn't a footballer
