since............. no team has gone down with 53 I'll go for that!!!</p> seriously though I think 50 will do</p>
we had just lost 1-0 away at Coventry, we followed that up with a 4-0 defeat at Birmingham and a 4-1 defeat by Palace at oakwell
RE: we had just lost 1-0 away at Coventry, we followed that up with it was the other way round - 1-0 against Birmingham and 4-0 against Cov I'd forgot about the Palace game - that was an absolute disaster
RE: aye my mistake, bad days though....just like now huh. I have more hope now than I did back then Not sure is that's a compliment to Davey or an insult to Parkin though
would you.............. have any of these in the current team? makes our current midfield look like Galacticos!!!!</p> Miller</p> Mulligan (O'Callaghan 78), Morgan, Crooks, Barker</p> Donovan (Neil 67), Jones, Lumsdon, Ward</p> Sheron, Dyer (Bedeau 67). </p> Subs: Marriott, L. Jones. </p>
RE: would you.............. There would be a place for Barker and Dyer in this squad That midfield looks like it can't get any worse than Alex Neil comes on
RE: would you.............. agreed-Dyer at his best-despite the offsides-was top scorer with I think 15+ goals a season
