North_Stand_Ram Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The play off final side (probably our best 11 from that season?) Weve spent circa 30m since the play off final, but how many of our new signings would get in that team? I know it's iffy because Thorne is part of that 30m and Wisdom was a loanee, but it'd be interesting to see people's opinions... I'd say Carson, Shackell, Butterfield and Ince...

Mostyn6 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'd say Carson Christie Buxton Shackell Warnock Thorne Butterfield Hughes Bryson Bamford Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You look at that team and the way we played and wonder! for me that day mc claren stuffed us, he made a big call leaving Bryson out which was fair enough based on Hendricks form but once the door was ajar with the sending off what did he do, basically bring off Hughes and Russell (who was doing nicely thanks) to be replaced by Bryson ok but Dawkins it should have been bamford as he shoots at goal and against 10 men! i still shake my head oh and I would put shackell in that team in place Buxton who is still a great stand in, and that is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlySaul Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Team wasn't exactly better, but the spirit and belief was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mills Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Warnock Thorne Butterfield Hughes Ince Bamford Martin Midfield is particularly though leaving Johnson out. Weimann was close to a winger with Bamford moving up front but decided against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHomunculusLives Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Regardless of individual selections, I'm pretty sure we aren't £30 million better than we were two years ago - at this stage at least. We have much more depth now but looking at those two teams, have we signed any players who have really significantly improved us, other than perhaps Shackell returning? There's perhaps an argument for Carson over Grant too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I find this argument completely irrelevant. The individuals we have at our disposal are much better. The way they play as a team, however, couldn't be much further from away from those days. I do wonder where that team would be under the current conditions, weight of expectation and dare I say.. Management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When McClaren took over we'd had years of steady mid-table mediocrity under Nigel and to be honest I'm not sure many of us were expecting much from Steve, especially bearing in mind his England and Forest experiences. Coming within a hair's breadth of getting us promoted was way beyond what all but the most optimistic expected that season and we were a lot more patient because it was all such a refreshing surprise.

MuespachRam Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Carson would have got into the play off team straight away, so would shackel (in place of Keogh) but the rest...nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Was it really the 92 minute before Bamford came on?! I thought he came on at like 75 minutes. Why didn't we bring him on earlier?! I have so much hindsight rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored on in the 90th minute, taking goal celebrations and the substitution itself into account 92nd minutes probably about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Butterfield, Carson, Shackell and maybe Ince. Depends which Ince and which Ward. Both on the same level then it's a no contest. But if it's the wandering around sulking Ince v Ward on his less greedy days then i'd take Ward. Which I can't believe I'm saying when Ince is by far the more gifted. If we played that play off team you wouldn't be able to guess the team that's cost more. That was a team that worked for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
