Probably 1999/2000 for me. Hignett, Dyer, Barnard, Shipperly, Sheron, Appleby, Hristov, Moses, Watson, Eaden, M*****n, Curtis, Jones, Tinkler etc.
I agree that for a very brief period under both Hill and Robins we had what looked like very good sides, but, despite some impressive performances, both ended up underachieving. As regards the midfield, though I liked Butterfield at the time, I think Hourihane is currently a much better player. I suppose you would have to Drinkwater the vote over Scowen though.
