Former Players

[Snoop Fog]

11 years ago today, these former players lost 3-1 to Liverpool. I wonder how this team would get on against the current crop.

That was a cracking team. ]

Nards would walk into the squad ahead of Jay and probably Nombe, Golbourne would command a first team place and Troy Archibold would get in to the first team squad, we could certainly do with a David Noble right now as well.

Other then that I think our current squad is better, and that to me shows how strong our current squad is.

Nards ahead of Jay or Nombe, are you smoking crack?

That side got relegated from memory as was the season after we finished 8th.

The year before was a great side

You can't really compare players from different time frames.

There is a story that Bill Shankley was once being interviewed by a journalist who exclaimed "Kevin Keegan must be better than Tom Finney" This was heresy to Shanks, who replied "mebbe so son, but Tom's over 50 now".

That said, IMO only Golbourne and Noble are clearly significantly better than their equivalents in the current squad. Others could be argued, but that'd be my take.

I'd take Nardiello, Golbourne and Noble without thinking. Think Duffy and Troy might also find their way in. Overall though I think the first XI is probably now.

I have a recollection of Richard Duffy heading a ball clean over the top of the main grandstand at St James Park during one match.
Hopefully, it actually happened and wasn’t a dream.

I liked Nardiello, but the fact remains he scored three goals after the end of October in that season; in fact seven of the 11 goals he scored in 2011-12 came in October.

And, albeit at League Two level, some people are giving MJ pelters for only scoring nine goals after Christmas last season.
