Seriously, why do you support City? Why do you bother posting on here?
Yes Malcs. As I feared my memory would let me down.
We will never know. But one thing's for sure, TC's team played exciting football, had no serious weaknesses, was compact (with players playing in their correct positions) and had a tough & winning mentality (Taylor, Bailey, Whitehead, Neville to name a few). I wouldn't swap any of that team with anyone from the current team. Yes, it was Div 4 (now 2) but we won by several points and also progressed well in the cups. The team had players who made things happen, which the current team doesn't have. Considering we lost Darren R thru serious injury and Chris V transferred to Rangers, and considering that Miller, Hiley, Taylor and Dryden were all transferred outwards and upwards, it's not surprising that we coudn't maintain it. I reckon if the Div 4 title-winning side had stayed together we would have had a big chance of going straight up into the Div 2 (then) league.
Didn't we get tonked 3-0 at York sometime in mid March (the first time that season we lost by more than one goal) and then went unbeaten for the rest of the season, as well as losing Dazza to injury too?
That was the best season / team I have ever seen at the Park , they all gave a million percent - from Kev Miller to Saun Taylor to Danny and Clive and up to Stevie Neville.............goals could come from anywhere and they did,
I think most probably would but people seem to fail to realise that a more direct style does not guarantee results.
We would all take results. Football is a results based buisness. THis season overall we havnt been great. Theres no denying that. BUt overall i prefer teams to try and play the right way but at times you gotta play to your strengths.
