Best ever Midfield.

What is the best midfield you ever seen playing for the Reds. They must have played together so for instance you can’t say Connell, Redfearn, Glavin, Hammill.

I’ll start: Glavin, Banks, McHale, Barrowclough.

 

You could draw a line there and say that’s it. No further debate, but that midfield four against Millwall at Wembley were pretty good. Two wingers - Hammill and Isgrove and Hourihane and Brownhill in the middle

 

Hourihane, Brownhill, Hammill, Scowen

Or

Thompson, Eaden, Redfearn, Sheridan, Marcelle - with Bullock and Bosancic as back up.

 

I certainly agree with that, though I never really thought of Barrowclough -with whom I played occasionally in what used to be a field at the back of the top row of houses on Mottram Street - as a midfielder as such. He was rather just an out-and-out winger.

 

We’ve had some brilliant midfields but long periods without them. Mid 90’s to really early noughties, we had some quality midfields. Then we went years and years without a solid midfield, until maybe the Wilson / Johnson League 1 team. Robins got together a good midfield but not sure it was in comparison to the other ones we’ve had.

 

Glavin, Banks, Redfearn then for devilment ‘Animal’.
But any are up for debate except Ronnie!

 

O'Brien Dawson Perkins Done.

 

Don't think Redfearn ever played with Ronnie or Banger!

 

I'm too young for the Glavin era.

I would think the 2016 team probably take it for how well they played together as a unit.

Then Devaney, McPhail, Howard, Shuker was up there.

Any midfield with Hignett in it too but I don't really recall him having settled partners. Barnard, Appleby, Hignett, Eaden perhaps.

 

I can raise you Brek Shea, Frimpong, Mellis, Etuhu, Jennings from that same era. Shudder.

 

Such a shame Jennings never turned out the way we all hoped. He looked truly special at such a young age pre-Bayern

 

It's a difficult one to assess. Because of age. I'm 100% your selection. I'm guessing lots of others will not have seen it though.

 

Thomas, Agnew, Lowndes, Dobbin.

 

Thought we were just picking a best all time favourite midfield from players we have seen!
If not any that had Ronnie in it!

 

Best individual performance I've ever seen from a Barnsley player. Barra v wendy away. The Flying pig who was highly rated by wendy fans, didnt know what hit him that night.

 

wish we had somebody like him now used to love watching him

 

No, they all had to have played together.

 

Redfern, Sheridan, Bullock, Jan Molby

 

"Pot", as we called him when he was a young boy, was fast and very tricky and outstanding on his day. He set up loads of goals for Newcastle legend, Malcolm Macdonald, in his First Division days.
