I guess the obvious answer would be Harry Kane but he was pretty dreadful while he was on loan. I think the one that stood out for me was Ross Barkley who just looked miles ahead of anyone on the pitch. Harry Maguire was decent enough but not head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch. I do remember Marcos Alonso stood out but for being absolutely awful. [Post edited 24 Mar 2022 11:33]

I was going to say Fernando Hierro for Bolton, but I think that was an FA Cup game.
Still an astonishingly accomplished performance. |  | | |

Probably not the best but one that springs to mind is Lallana when Southampton dicked us 2-5 on their way to back to back promotions. He absolutely tore us apart, against the likes of Lee Martin who was absolute dross. That team of Cork, Schniederlin, Lallana, Lambert was, in hindisght, so good at Championship level. 2 went on to Liverpool and multiple England caps, 1 to Man United and 1 to be a Premier League regular and even get an England cap himself. |  |

Lallana was a really interesting player to watch. An incredibly well balanced player and not the type of player you see very often. |  | | |

Absolutely right, heck of a good footballer. He was incredibly good technically and earnt his stripes through the leagues. A player you rarely saw have a bad game. Wasn't long between him being a regular in League 1 and getting his full England caps. | |

I remember not begrudging them that. Cracking performance and showed how far off we were. |  |

Apart from Cork, the other 3 you mentioned all played for them in L1. Along with Jose Fonte, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Puncheon. Not a bad side... | | | |

That would be my first choice too. Honourable mention to Shane Long for Reading. |  | | |

I wouldn't be adverse to offering Shane Long a two year deal as the experienced striker role! | | | |

I went to watch a Palace - Blackburn game that season. Corporate offer.
Palace were an awesome watch. Garvan looked incredible feeding passes out to Zaha and Bolasie, with Glenn Murray upfront. | | | |

Has there been more than one? The one Villa game I remember had him falling over a lot and shooting wildly. Granted, showed flashes of his undoubted flair, but the best performance in twenty years? Not in the top hundred :) | |

There was a game just after Mick left - they beat us 3-0 I think at home. He turned up with his socks rolled down, smoking a cigar and took the p!ss. [Post edited 24 Mar 2022 12:51]

Back to back promotions and they've not been relegated since, impressive. |  |

I always remember listening to the radio commentary of Town playing at Wigan one season and the way that Ellington and Roberts were carving us up in that match. Too bad we didn't get that version of Ellington when he signed for us. |  | | |

I remember that game. Seem to remember there was a beautiful red sky which at least distracted from our hammering. They were excellent. We just couldn’t deal with the movement. Didn’t they play a little like we do now? |  | | |

I don't remember the red sky but I do remember sinking quite a few Desperados in Isaac's pre match as I was on a half day and had met up with a friend who supports West Ham. His one and only visit to PR, I was doing loads of work with Marcus Evans at the time so we sat in the executive box, I was trying to act sober.
Yes I think not dissimilar, and actually a Rickie Lambert type is EXACTLY what we're crying out for to bind this side, which Pigott should really be he's just a naff version. They did play with the 2 just off him from memory. | |

We faced a pretty good bunch when Leicester beat us 3-0 away on their way to romping the title on over 100 points in 2013/14.
They had Schmeichel, Schlupp, Drinkwater, Vardy, Mahrez, Wood and Kevin Phillips on the pitch that day. Mahrez the pick of the bunch over time, but all the others PL regulars and mostly top internationals. most of them were winning the PL a couple of years later. |  |

That certainly rings a bell. It was def either an late or early season game. Very pleasant evening apart from the scoreline… | | | |
