I was nodding & agreeing with everything in that best XI until I saw Craig Davies up front. I'd replace him with Vaz Te & I'd partner him with O'Grady. David Perkins belongs nowhere near a worst XI, 2 good seasons shouldn't be forgotten just because he had a dreadful last 5 months. I also think we've had a lot worse wingers than Jim O'Brien.
Spot on! I'm with you on all of the above. Also any worst team that doesn't have Tom Kennedy in isn't worth a second glance.
True, true. I'd still have Davies though, but alongside O'Grady instead of Bogdanovic. Perkins.. Probably right on that, although i was thinking more of the partnership between he and Dawson. But for individuals, it'd be Frimpong. Finally, I never really reckoned much to O'Brien, the effott was there, just not the creativity. But thinking about it, yes i would replace him with Shea
Worst. Tony Warner Scott Wiseman. Kern Miller. Rob Edwards. El-Hamour Anthony McParland. Ritchie Jones. Colin Healy. Kyel Reid. Leon Knight. Michael Mifsud.
Some of the names here I've genuinely had to look up. O'Neil Thompson, Kern Miller, Tininho, who the **** are these people?
Miles Addison absolutely terrible until his final game against Leeds where he put in a colossal performance & we gave them their annual Oakwell drubbing
Did Kern Miller ever play for the first team? I didn't think he did. Last I heard I think he was at Gainsborough
Thought he'd come on as sub, might be confusing him with someone else. **** it, stick McNulty in there.
David Gonzalez Rob Edwards O'Neill Thompson Jimmy McNulty Adam Eckersley Mounir El Haimour Dwayne Mattis Miles Addison Colin Healy Leon ***** Maceo Rigters
O'Neil Thompson was big Jamaican who was brilliant in a pre season game against Man City then **** for rest of time with us. Kern Miller was young CB signed from Lincoln, bit of a knobhead apparently, and **** at football (Hemsworth Tyke predicted he'd be the best CB ever). Tininho was a LB signed on loan from WBA, played a few games but wasn't up to much.
Not sure how you can put Stones at CB, when he played all his games for us at RB... If we're going in what they've achieved after leaving us, that's fine, but then Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez would be up front...
