thought I would cast my mind back to the last time we were up this end of table with berty bassett and do a quick head to head of the two "great" sides. who would ye rather av in team SOUZA -or MORGAN HOWARD -or HIGNETT MOSSTO -or HRISTOV who would ye rather av takin free kicks MCCANN -or BARNARD who would ye rather av as a token **** substitute CHRISTENSEN -or ANDY EVANS (welsh postman)
Shipperley andDyer instead of Odejayi and Mossto.</p> Hignett over Howard , and maybe Souza although playing with Chettle is probably akin to playing with Reid alongside,</p>
I'd have to go with 'then' really. Souza would have been a good fit alongside Morgan but not with Chettle. Still would if the Blunts dont want him. Difficult to choose between Higgy or Howie? I'd have to go with Hignett I think? Though call though. Shipps and Broooce up front for me too. As a strike partnership they were very good (when Dyer wasnt tiring out the linesman's arm!) Barnard was a proven performer even at Premier level so he'd be my choice over McCann. Dean
Agreed mostly Souza better than Morgan Hignett,although Howard is a hell of a player Hristo deffo better than Mostto Barnard was quality, McCann is decent
what about 1996 - 97 now or then? 5-3-2 versus 4-4-2</p> </p> Watson - muller</p> eaden - foster</p> de zueww - souza</p> moses - nyatanga</p> thompson - werling</p> appleby - mccann (not quite a fair comparison seeing as mccanns left midfield and appleby was a sweeper but its the nearest i could get)</p> marcelle - JCR</p> Redders - howard</p> stumpy - anderson de silva</p> wilko - Ferenczi</p> hendrie - odejaye</p>
It would be difficult to pick against... ...the promotion side wouldn't it as they were almost unbeatable. Or has the quality improved so much in the last ten years? Stumpy v De Silva... now that's a funny comparison.
RE: what about 1996 - 97 now or then? It's unfair to compare the two sides yet. </p> One had a full season and promotion and one has had 8 games.</p> But on the limited games I've seen so far Souza, Muller and Da Silva would walk into that promotion side.</p> </p>
Wasnt Liddel in more than Marcelle that season?? Sheridan played quite a bit of leftback that season didnt he?
Shez did play a lot at leftback when Thommo was injured, he did a good job of it too. I think Liddell and Marcelle traded places most of the season, but my memory is playing up tonight
nope liddle played up front until super john came along</p> shez played mainly in midfield but stood in at left back when thommo was injured and jovo then came in midfield</p> marcelle was in competition with bullock for the spot behind the front two</p>
RE: nope http://www.soccerbase.com/squad_season.sd?teamid=208</p> This is the appearances for the season.</p> I am guessing Liddel played a lot of Midfield and we played a lot more 4-4-2 than we realised.</p>
looking at the book I think we played 5 - 3 -2 the majority of the seson he played the first9 gamesup front alongside wilko</p> he then played the next 9 games behind the front two instead of marcelle</p> he then missed the next 8 games (coming on as sub in 2 or 3)</p> he then played another 5 on the trot instead of marcelle again</p> then only made 2 morefull appearances before the end of the season(1 instead of wilko and 1against bradford)</p> </p>
