Robbo007 0 Posted May 22, 2005 It was less than 2 years ago that we lost at Northampton in the cup. Are strikeforce was Mcveigh and Nielson (his last game), and our most potent threat was Rivers....says alot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Nige- You''re a legend[/quote]Thank you DDIM, the compliment is reciprocated.It''s also worth pointing out I think, for those with short memories and somewhat blinkered vision, that this squad actually got us to the top of the league, or as near as damn it too it, before we recruited the likes of Huckerby, Mckenzie, Svensson etcLooking at our current squad it is patently obvious that it much much stronger than the Class of 2003. If we can keep the backbone of this squad, and I don''t include Green & Francis in that, plus add new players in 3 or 4 key positions, then I think we have a squad that can regain Premiership status.As I''ve said before, for numerous reasons it won''t be easy, but I think we will have by far the strongest squad in the division which will give us every chance of emulating the 2003/4 squad.By the way, Rangers, my second team, have just won the Scottish title - miracles do happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
