Our team that year was bad but nowhere near as bad as the points tally suggested. There were quite a few games that season where we got less than we deserved.

Sith Happens Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This was the starting 11 in the first game: Bywater, Mears, Moore, Davis, Griffin , Fagan, Oakley, Todd, Pearson, Howard, Earnshaw. Seriously how many would get close to getting in our squad today never mind playing PL football. 27 minutes ago, ramsbottom said: Three words - Eddie 'F**kin' Lewis When that signing was announced it was like OMG we are screwed.

He was a mardy **** but a very good right back. And perhaps with Big Dave at the back, we wouldn't concede on as many set pieces. I'd have a prime Matt Oakley back in a hear beat. Other than that, that is a garbage team. Andy Todd!!! FFS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the Man Utd match 2-0? Get confused because I think they beat us in the FA Cup that year too maybe? Don't recall Man City at home but the others we were definitely unlucky in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't recall Man City at home but the others we were definitely unlucky in Man U was 1-0, Ben Foster played a blinder, think he made 2 or 3 top class saves then they scored in 76th minute. Chelsea was 2-0, we had goal wrongly ruled out for offside, Miller was about 5 yards onside, iirc, lobbed the keeper, then for their second goal Shevchenko went in 2 footed from behind on Barnes ref didn't give a foul and they went and scored straight from it. Man City was 1-1 at home, they only had 1 shot all game from memory. Liverpool 92nd minute equaliser. West Ham we played really well 2nd half Savage missed an absolute sitter in the 6 yard box when still 1-1. Blackburn at home, had a chance to go 2-0 up missed the penalty they ended up winning 2-1. Newcastle away late equaliser. Sunderland away 90th minute winner. Bolton away 90th minute winner. Fulham away just couldn't score, had a lot of chances from memory.

Carnero Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Newcastle away was a last minute Viduka equaliser in a 2-2 draw. To think we should have done the double over them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes missed a sitter against Liverpool and then they went straight up the other end and scored the winner. Miller goal incorrectly ruled out against Chelsea to make it 1-1, their second goal a blatant foul. Howard missed penalty against Blackburn to make it 2-0, capitulate and lose 2-1. Reading, last minute winner. Newcastle, last minute equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So aside from what I mentioned above, we were also incredibly unlucky in a number of games too. All those aspects alligned so that we became the worst team ever. That will never happen again, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer to watch this Huddersfield side play rather than the Boro team that got promoted in 2015-16. Not saying a lot I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by a long shot! They're an odd one. A good footballing side that are **** in the final third. I can't believe people wanted rid of Martin for Nakhi Wells because 'pace'. He's a worse version of Nugent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
