In fairness, Scott Green didn't play right back often. He was more of a Tamir Cohen.

 

Yeah, probably right. I remember him playing right back, wide on both flanks, centre mid and up front in his time! Didn't he score a screamer on his debut against Derby or someone? He might have been playing upfront that day.

"The left back who gets stick for not being good enough:

Phillips/Robinson"

 

 

Hey!

Love john mcginlay,but never cracked it in the top level did he?

 

 

Sadly not, due partly to injuries and partly that dick todd playing him out wide to accomodate nathan blake and his arse.

 

With a full season in positon and fit it would have been a different story. And definitely for the purposes of the thread

Wasn't it Bristol City at home? Cutting in from the left and beating the 'keeper at the near post at the 'Normid' end.

 

I seem to remember their striker, the division's leading goalscorer having a fitness test on the pitch before the game too. A young Bob Taylor no less.

 

I worry myself by remembering such useless shit!

 

Which leaves McAteer and Sneekes as Muamba and Reo-Coker. Can't find any comparison there!

 

 

mcateer/muamba - energetic, box to box, ungainly runner, not afraid the stick a foot in.

 

sneekes/reocoker - errr, nigel & richard are both really shit names

seeing as blake only arrived at christmas its a bit harsh laying any blame at his door for mcginlays failures in the first 3 months of the season

 

mcginlay was just over the top by the time we got up...perhaps...maybe

 

he could've cut it, i'm sure of that

 

not as good as walker, thouggh

Sneekes was schooled in Total Football at the Ajax academy meaning his touch and striking of the ball was excellent; don't see how you can't connect that to Muamba and NRC

mcateer/muamba - energetic, box to box, ungainly runner, not afraid the stick a foot in.

 

was thinking more... both products of a third world, destitute, ravaged wasteland

Exactly the 3 i was going to say

 

So McGinley would not get in?????

So McGinley McGinlay would not get in?????

 

Corrected.

Proper winds me up does that.

IMO McGinley was one of the those strikers who just wasn't quite good enough for the top flight, but would score goals for fun outside of it.

so all his goals against top teams in the cup can be explained how, exactly

cup fever

ahh, of course

 

once, maybe

 

but over and over

 

i think not

so all his goals against top teams in the cup can be explained how, exactly

 

So do you think that we were actually a better team than Arsenal?

Corrected.

Thank you lady

 

I need a secretary; are you one of them that sits on the managers knees

I really doubt you'd ask that if you'd met me, unless you've got legs like a rugby player.

Just looked at the stats and it would appear you could be right. Amazing what you choose to believe sometimes.

 

Not as good as Walker, but here for longer and liked a sup more so still my hero. And prob still the best partnership we've had for a good while (at their level).

Our team in the 95 League Cup final against Liverpool was :-

 

Brannagan, Green, Phillips, McAteer, Seagraves, Stubbs, Lee, Sneekes, Paatelainen, McGinlay, Thompson

 

Against Liverpool this weekend was:-

 

Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Eagles, Muamba, Reo-Coker, Petrov, K Davies, Klasnic

 

So, have we got any better??

 

Whats the strongest team if picking from them all?

 

Mcateer is the only one from 95 who was good enough to play in the top league here for any length of time.

 

Stubbs who thought he could play for any of europes top teams played in scotland, Thommo the same but he would be better than petrov at the moment

 

Supa for everything he did for us never got near the level SKD has reached although it is a bit like choosign your favourite child

Whatmore - Taylor

Frank - Whatmore

Frank - Gowling

Hard to comment, nostalga tells me that the 95 team where one of the greatest I've ever seen, I suspect unfortunatly they where more like present day QPR or Norwich, I think they'd all struggle to get in to the present day team, McGinlay would be some impact sub tho

We're better than we were but not as good as we could be.

 

HTH

Whatmore - Taylor

Frank - Whatmore

Frank - Gowling

 

All fair points. All before my time in my defence. Maybe I should have said we haven't had a partnership like em since.

 

I'l be honest they're my favourites because of the era they played in and the fact that it was the time I was discovering ale, drugs and fingering so football got better for me!

...although it is a bit like choosign your favourite child

 

That's not difficult.
