Poynton ram Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Of that squad who would get in to the current first team? Matt Oakley, Giles Barnes? Am struggling to think of many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the other day, we could do with someone like a Steve Howard in this squad. Like an Andy Carrol plan b. We’ve got no one who’s really strong in the air. We’ve got nuge and Marriott who ate basically interchangeable but don’t really offer anything different from each other. But it wouldn’t kill us to have a big man we can bring on to win some crosses and corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly need a centre forward who can replace Marriott or join him and is likely to score goals, nugent we all like but he misses far to many nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Every squad since 2013 has been better. Billy's ability to crap House one nils was the stuff of Gary Rowett's dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 We have had a lot of squads better than billy Davies squad we just haven’t been lucky enough ( two seasons of mac1 spring to mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Two different questions...is the squad better?...and ..who would get in the team? Possibly none would figure in a Lampard team I would guess. Chris Martin doesn't fit the current team profile...so hard to see how Steve Howard would. But is he better/worse? Oakley....more mobile than Hudds, better on the ball than Bryson so maybe he might. Otherwise...hard to see anyone who would. But that team played in a particular way.. would Tom Lawrence be able to drift in and out of games in that team.? Would Malone be able to tear up the pitch in the 90th min or Mount be able to get on the ball and bounce 1-2's off Craig Fagan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 This team is 100% better. The billy team did well to get promoted as they overachieved. There were players like McEveley and Pearson in that team who couldn’t trap a bag of cement!! The competition and standard of the championship is also much better now. Of that side, Oakley and Barnes would probably get in today’s squad along with Seth Johnson but that’s about it, I loved Steve Howard but we don’t play with a target man and if we wanted one as plan B then it would be Chris Martin all day long - different class to Howard.

North East Ram Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Having a nice relaxing Xmas and someone goes and mentions that red dog Davros. Well thanks for the horrible memories. Actually, I quite (really) enjoyed all those 1-0 wins in injury time. The 2 play off games. Winning on penos in the pizzin rain. And Wembley. Whilst the dogs were in Division 3 too. And then he got kneed by Nigel. What a (wee) man. Still the highlight of the last 20 years! It would be an interesting match between Billy and Frank’s teams. I think Frank’s team would fly out the blocks and outplay Billy’s team with some nice football. Wilson, Mount and Lawrence would all hit the woodwork and Marriott have a goal disallowed. But it’d still be 0-0 into injury time and either Howard or Barnes would poach / smash a winner seconds before the full time whistle: 1-0. Keogh would get the blame whether he played or not.

MK-Ram Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Mears at his best in that season would be ahead of Bogle IMO, but Bogle is also still just 18 and plays years ahead of his age. Oakley/Johnson would be ahead of Bryson on current form. Johnson's bite could be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
