Libbra Lives in Dubai 0 Posted November 7, 2007 The rules are this: pick a team (11 outfield and 5 subs) of players from the last 3 seasons.Who would be in it? Where are the weaknesses? Do you think it would get us promoted?My team:GreenColin Davenport Shackell DruryCroft Safri Etuhu HuckerbyEarnshaw AshtonSubs: Marshall, Otemobor, Dublin, Cureton, RussellYou will all have different views on this but...Conclusions: I reckon we might have made play offs with this team We havent signed a single decent midfielder for almost 5 yearsOur defence (which was always shakey) has changed for the worseHuckerby, Croft, Drury and Shackell are the only remaining members in our current team. At least 3 of the 4 of them are not Championship standard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desi Rascall 0 Posted November 7, 2007 i''d probally start with Ostemobor inplace of colin.But i''m struggling to find a quality right winger, possibly a fit dean marney.Imagine Ashton and Earnshaw in the same line up, fantasy football,little n large, a cheeky nod to the crowd, a backflip,always a crowd pleaser, 5 minutes to final whisle,no ones leaving, jumpers for goal posts...MARVELOUS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missing in action? 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Greenotsemobor Davenport Dublin Lappin Safricroft huckerby jonson johannson earnshaw/curetonSUBS: Marshall, Shackell, Chadwick, cureton/earnshaw, Martin.personally i dont think any of our cbs have been good enough, well, except dublin,edworthy was a brill rb but semi is a good player, just low on confidence.safri was 2 players, a tackler and a playmaker.the 2 wingers explain themselves, can win a game in their own right.jonson was a player who attacked well, better in a drifting role than being shoved on right wing. cant shoot mind.johannson was a player that deserved much more cred than he got, he was quick, good headerer...lol and an excellent shot.earnie and cureton are both players that can play well off of target men,i prefer lappin to drury as he is quicker, stronger and has good attributes e.g free kicks.

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted November 7, 2007 How about doing a last 10 years XIIcos the mentions of Green, Etuhu, Safri, Francis, Ashton & Earnie are just gonna piss us off and remind us "what could have been"Only one who had an excuse to leave was Green cos he more than paid his dues and proved he was Green and Yellow.

ZLF 271 Posted November 7, 2007 GreenColin Doc Shacks Drury Chadwick Safri Lappin Earnshaw Ashton Hucks Blimey - some clear easy picks and some impossible ones! Midfield - no wonder we have suffered since relegation - the options are truly appalling - lappin get in by default only!!! Doc outperfromed Davenport in every game he played with him and usually does the same to both shax and dion - so gets my vote; Colin also shows how woeful the options have been in that position too.

BCanary 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Since relegation eh? How about this:GreenOtsemobor / Dublin / Davenport / DruryMarney / Etuhu / Safri / HuckerbyAshton / EarnshawTop 6 team that, I reckon. It''s a great shame we never saw Ashton and Earnie in the same team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Road to Nowhere 0 Posted November 9, 2007 It amazes me how people can turn full circle about Etuhu in 12 months. This is a guy who turned up once in every 5 games if we were lucky, was constantly slated for being lazy yet now makes it into virtually everyone''s favourite team!! That in itself is an incredible indictment of our present situation. Maybe next year we will all be remembering the days when Russell and Brellier ruled the midfield and how we miss them...
