WilkoRam Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Having, quite frankly, become bored of reading most threads turn into the same back and forth (Nigel didn't have money, stabbed in the back, he wasn't good enough, McClaren isn't good enough, blah blah) I thought maybe we could just have a nice thread that hopefully won't turn into that, however I have a feeling it may. Simple question. What would your best XI be from Nigel's time here, so anyone in the playing squad from when he joined to when he left, loanees are allowed too. I know at this point I should put my starting XI down but I'm still undecided. As it standsGrantBrayford Shackell Barker MoxeyBryson HendrickBueno Hughes CommonsHulseBut this is within 5 mins off the top of my head. I need to look at the squads, I could be missing a quality player I'd forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Good thread. Fielding - 1st season - earned him an England call up, he was genuinely quality and confident goalkeeper - shame what happened really. Roberts - final 2 seasons - was awful when he first came in, but matured into one of the most dependable full backs in the division. Barker - when he wasn't injured - top centre back in this division. Shackell - top centre back in this division Brayford - top right back in this division Bryson - most influential midfielder we've had Hughes - incredibly talented player Hendrick - very good midfielder at this level Commons - final season here - was the best in the division upto the point where we sold him, 4 months of just raw quality Ward - obvious replacement for commons, and despite his drop this season - his past 2 years have been great to watch! Hulse - First couple seasons - sold him undoubtedly at the right time but on his day he was impossible to deal with.

Alph Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Grant Brayford Barker Shackell Roberts Hendrick Bryson Bueno Hughes Commons Kuqi (not now, then) Probably going to concede a few. Expect very high possession. Kuqi gives the longer ball option Bueno/Hughes might not work in which case I pick Paul Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkoRam Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Grant Brayford. Shackell. Barker. Roberts Eustace for 45 ' Bryson. Hendrick. Hughes Commons Hulse. Russell Martin or Savies for 45 What's all this "for 45" nonsense. None of that please just a standard XI for the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 He was ok until the first brown leaf of autumn. His first month here was incredible - think every game was a 9/10 performance just about, and then things just stopped happening for him, his touches and neat control was a bit wide and erratic, he struggled in a few games to impose himself. Talented but limited at the same time, can you imagine him doing well in the premier league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkoRam Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 sorry then can't pick one has he's signed too many players and too many left and I'm being serious . Massive player turnover and still no consistancy Well my thread, my rules either a starting XI or nothing at all. There is a prize on offer for the best team.

jcidaho Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 like how some are choosing Moxey. He was underrated because he came from the lower leagues, but he was quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
