Great evening thoroughly enjoyed it.

10 players turned up - from that season not just final team. Sturrock recorded an interview with J Pearson which was quite funny.

To a man they all stated the main reason for turning up tonight was to catch up with old friends. It was obvious from the outset that the team spirit was something special back then, which played a major part in our promotion.

Joey O'Brien's first loan here was during our promotion season.

Oh I'm with you.

 

I thought you meant Burton O'Brien  :picnic:

 

Fun fact about Joey O'Brien. Only home game I missed that season was when he scored in the 4-2 defeat to Hull.

Instead I was at school dressed like a fairy for a Christmas play. Teacher said I'd be kicked off the school football team if I went to the match....

Think I'd agree but might drop Wood for Bullen.

 

That team needs a captain.

Joey O'Brien came to us on loan again under Megson didn't he? 2011? Thought his career was over after that, a lot of injuries. But then managed to get in the West Ham side in the Prem.

 

Thinking about it, the 11/12 side were much better. I'd even have Lines over Whelan for what he actually contributed during the season. 15 assists was it? Obviously Whelan went onto have a better career. Would also have Marshall/Antonio over Brunt.

 

Maclean would get in the side though.

If I had to put a side together...

Lucas

Bruce

Batth

Bullen

Reda

Antonio

Semedo

Whelan

Marshall

Maclean

Jones

I was tempted to put Brunt in but his best form came in the Championship and if memory serves me right, only played in the playoff final due to an injury to Hamshaw.

The only thing id question about Reda, is that he only played around half the league games due to injury. Didn't we end up with Beevers at left back for the run in?

Yeah we did.

 

But then Bruce can't be playing right back because we only had him on loan for the last couple of months.

 

To pick a team of individual players or to pick a team of players who contributed the most to the season is the question.
