So, with any keeper with an ounce of bottle we'd have won the FA Cup and the league title Let that sink in when anyone says he's the best keeper they've ever seen play for us......I'd rather have Tidman So if we had got one draw against United, hence they didn't do the double we would have won the League? No, that's a load of tripe, as is the Tidman bit. In fairness I agree with you about Woods not being our best, wouldn't make my top 5. But everyone has their own opinion, that's the beauty of football alot of it is opinions. The poster is entitled to his and at least 2 England managers agreed with it, which was my original point. Not saying me and you are right or the poster/s with him in the their best Wednesday 11 (+ 2 England managers) are correct. I'm saying everyone's opinion is theirs and to them is correct. As witnessed with the Nilsson/Sterland discussion earlier. Re the Cup Final if Bright had scored earlier with his great chance it wouldn't have gone to extra time. At the time I blamed both Bright and Woods BUT only Bright could be held responsible for his miss, the whole defence/ team let Linigan have his free header. With hindsight I just put it down to one of those things, don't blame anyone it just wasn't meant to be. Still bleeding hurts though. Just my opinion though of course.

Lionel Fessi Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Westwood Reda Lees Llera Buxton Antonio Lee Bannan JJ Forestieri Wickham I started going pretty regularly when i was 14/15ish, 24 now and we've been pretty s**t for the last 10 years, the last three seasons have been the best ones for me as a fan (probably why I'm such a big CC fan) Edited March 21, 2018 by Lionel Fessi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Lyons would be captain too. The c was genuinely to denote Carlton as I knew there'd be at least one comedian saying Liam Palmer in midfield? I was right, 2 or 3 already said it.

Woods was a fabulous shot stopper with excellent reactions, but he was poor against crosses and could shrivel if the crowd got on his back.

I haven't named a team; too many difficult choices, especially if you're not a young man. Just look at the options up front for example - Curran, Bannister, Varadi, Chapman, Hirst, Bright, Di Canio, Forestieri... But the keeper would probably have to be between Hodge, Pressman, Kirkland and Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very athletic... brilliant shot stopper and part of a back five that was the first that I really believed in since going (74/75) If anything he lacked a bit of the aggressive confidence that modern keepers seem to have.

I know he was only with us for one season, but I really liked Dalian Atkinson as well and was gutted when he left.

Ash-Williams Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Everyone is missing putting Darko up front. Yes Pleat made a mess of having him here. But he is still the only ex Wednesday player that has gone for mega cash after leaving us. He was also considered one of the best strikers in Europe for a while. How many other ex players can say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I see a few loanees have been thrown into the mix! Is this allowed? If so, Carson should get a mention. He was unbelievable in his spell at Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a bit unlucky to be up against Waddle for right wing/midfield for the starting 11, although I'm surprised he hasn't been on a few benches Marwood was a very good player and I remember talking to a Manure fan about him. I reckoned he was similar to Coppell but not as good, the MU fan differed saying he thought he was better. Strange how fans of other teams view our players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
