Question for the stalwarts.

How does the football we're playing/seeing in this division compare with the football played in the equivalent division 20 years ago?

 

We weren't in the 3rd division 20 years ago...

 

can't remember ..... been watchin t'mugs 38 year now.

what i will say is this season has been dreadful.....and the fact we are not tailed off just emphasizes how bad the rest are too.

hth

 

imho compared to the 2002 - 2006 period, most teams are better than I remember, but Port Vale were doing their best to turn Saturday's game into a Sunday league one. Set of fat clogging *******.

 

Started watching the Reds in 1978 and can honestly say that in the last 18 months the level of football witnessed has been the worst I have encountered .

It really has been Pub League Material Sadly!

 

1976 for thereev and yes it's dreadful at the moment...truly horrfic

 

It's been dire in the main this season. But I saw worse the last time we were down here.

 

If you are comparing with the HUnter/Clarke sides then there is obviously no comparison as we were pretty bloody good in those days (7-0 tonkings away to Reading notwithstanding). If you are comparing to last time we were in the division then other than the promotion year its better stuff.

 

Did you not go when we last got relegated ? For 2 years we were fecking shocking !!! Far worse than now !

 

I've seen very few players who'd I'd consider to be good footballers this season.

Coppinger, Roberts and Jamie Allen are the only players who've looked a class above in my opinion.

I missed MK Dons at home so not sure on the young lad they have there.

 

We were shocking, but this season really has been the Pits!

Rudderless , clueless, all in all Pub League Rubbish

 

THIS = the worst season in recent history.

I have to disagree with you there. #Although I do take your comments with a pinch of salt as you seem to want to be proved right about Wilson! Or rather you want your son to be proved right about what he was like at Sheff Utd !

 

Roberts and Allen were the two best opposition players I've seen away this season. The lad Byrne for Swindon and Alli for MK were summat else at Oakwell.

 

What about 2003/2004 season or 2004/2005 season ? Both worse seasons than this for the football we played, in my opinion anyway. Yes I agree we have been poor this season, but we were worse for a couple of years before we got promoted, last time we were down here !

 

Although my dad took me in the 1960s, I too count my life as a Reds supporter as starting with the arrival of Clarkie in 1978 and I agree 100%, this is the worst football I've seen since then. At least in that season we had Ally Millar, Alan Little, Phil Chambers, Mick McCarthy, Clarkie, Derek Bell, Brian Joicey, Glyn Riley etc who would easily get into the current team.

 

there is non of the current crop that would get in clarkies team.

 

Been going since the Jim Iley era, 74-75 when I first started going as a kid with my dad. Difficult to compare but this season has been pretty dire and the standard of football, if not necessarily worse, seems a lot less entertaining, which is surely what it's all about. Players weren't as fit then, but there were players who were skilful and could beat a man...

 

Worst I've ever seen the last few years, I've only been going since about 89 and thought we'd never be as bad as the 2002 side again
