Seth's left foot Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Dean Moxey, he didn’t need any support ? In my early years I saw Saunders and Goddard but I’d have to choose Wanchope, Baiano and Sturridge as that team in general was a joy to watch.

EranioIsGod Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Sturridge, Wanchope, Baiano They were just unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKANorwichExile Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Sturridge and Gabbiadini, with Ashley Ward and big Ron Willems rotating in. As a young-un, I've never been more excited to see us go forwards. Baiano/Wanchope was class and unpredictability personified, but it never matched Studgers wow factor for little me.

Cywka, Bueno, Commons Kuqi For a few games, they were indestructible going forward. Then Nige put Luke Moore up front and it all went to pot. And Commons went to Celtic. From 4th to 19th.......... This was my favourite of recent times. Was gutted when Nige broke it up by shoe horning Moore into it. Bueno and Commons could make magic happen.

I often think about these combinations and wonder how they compare to the forward lines we had when we were Premier League strugglers I think Malcolm Christie would walk into any of our championship sides - But what about Deon Burton? (for example) - He played a LOT of games for us at Premier League level and I always thought he was bang average - But he was technically playing at a higher level than any of the guys listed above have played for us I often forget that awesome Burley season too though - That was some great football and a pretty special bunch of players who I loved watching - Although I'm pretty sure we didn't have much resembling a defence of any kind?

Raich Carter Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Really liked Howard - he was a proper centre forward played correctly. Wanchope was hilarious. Willems was class. Johnson & Kitson were let-downs. Marco was Marco. You know, other than some of the true greats, we've never really had a 'proper' partnership have we like Shearer and Sutton et al.

Dennis Read Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi . I'm a new member but been watching this site for years . My first memory is of my uncle taking me to my first Derby match the year we won promotion to Div 1 under Brian Clough . And been going ever since . Still haven't seen a forward pairing better than O'Hare Hector and Hinton . But we came close with Lee and George under Mackay . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie was an unreal striker - natural talent to rival the best of them. If it weren't for injury, he could've really hit the big time. The Burley season does fly under the radar somewhat - probably because of how it ended in bitterness. But what a season it was. The creativity from Idiakez was out of this world. But you're right - no defence, which is probably why we conceded 60 goals. But what a joy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a decent midfield at the time, I always thought Carbone, Ravenelli and Kinkladze partnership as a front three was a missed opportunity. Very narrow though... Not any more judging by those recent pictures of Kinky....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I always rated Branko Strupar. Shame he struggled with injuries. Paired with a nippy forward we would have been unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this ^ ^ ^ for me too. Ruthless right up until the day we sold PG to Millwall for £800k. Goddards chip of Neville Southall (one of the best keepers in the world at this time) against Everton at the BBG was a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
