ncfc90 0 Posted March 10, 2009 A fit Darren Huckerby and Dean Ashton back please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted March 10, 2009 Yes we''d give anything for that now, strange that so many spent nearly all that season calling for the managers head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hog 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Watching that was like watching the glory years! Even though at the time it was considered a poor season! We have sunk so low so fast and I for one doubt we will ever see players like Ashton and Hucks here again. [:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jules 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Wow! Just notice how many goals were scored from around the edge of the penalty area and by recognised strikers! We had players with the confidence to have a crack. Far too many times this season we passed around the front of the opposition defence without striking or tried to walk it into their six yard box as if we are Arsenal. Now I''m bloody depressed. There''s no way out of this mess outside of a complete miracle. Other teams around us seem to been able to find another gear which is leaving us and Charlton increasingly cast adrift.

TheCardinal 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Errgggh. How I complained about that team. Carl Robinson I thought was the worst midfielder in NCFC history. Then Fozzy came along. Andy Hughes - how we all moaned about him! Even he had more ability than 90% of the team we have today. Then of course there''s Hucks (at his best), Ashton, Earnie, and Johansson. Why we never made his signing permanent I don''t know. Instead, we got Peter bloody Thorne. This club has slipped so far from even then. It''s very, very sad.

JJ 0 Posted March 10, 2009 I think we''re looking at that season through rose tinted glasses. I posted this elsewhere but it was a poor season and the 9th place masqueraded the fact that we were dreadful away from home (remember the games at Luton, QPR, Derby and Preston?) plus it covered up some very poor and lucky home victories. It was the real beginning of the decline and even decent playes like Hucks, McVeigh, Safri, etc had a hit and miss season (Doherty was player of the year).It was merely accelerated that summer by deciding to (a) keep Worthington and (b) having to decided to keep him, not give him any money to improve the squad.We pretty awful now, but that doesn''t suddenly turn players such as Hughes, Robinson, etc into good ones.

No other managers best finishing position has been higher than Worthy''s worst. You are quite happy to continually harp on about history when it suits your pathetic agendas. The finishing positions in a different age and different circumstances spring to mind. I would suggest the comparison between Worthy and those who managed under the same constraints is entirely relevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buncey 1 Posted March 11, 2009 Fantastic memories. I think it''s gonna be a while before we see a set of talent anywhere near that bunch of lads. Such a shame. I''d murder for ol'' lil McVeigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
