NeonLeon Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A question I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, but maybe a thread to revisit in May. But who wins? Most picked 11’s would be... 2009/10 Lee Grant Lewis Buxton Darren Purse Mark Beevers Tommy Spurr Jermaine Johnson (5 goals) Darren Potter (7 assists) James O’Connor Michael Gray Marcus Tudgay (10 goals)(9 assists) Luke Varney (9 goals)(6 assists) That team finished on 47 points, averaging 1.02 points a game. 11 wins, 14 draws & 21 defeats. Michael Gray also credits the lack of professionalism in this team as the reason he ended up ‘hating football’. vs.. 2020/21 (as it stands) Kieren Westwood Liam Palmer Tom Lees Joost Van Aken Moses Odubajo Kadeem Harris (3 assists) Barry Bannan (4 assists) Joey Pelupessy Adam Reach (3 goals)(2 assists) Callum Paterson (6 goals) Josh Windass (3 goals) Currently bringing in 1.10 points a game, leading to a projected total of 51 points (excluding points deduction which makes it 45). 9 wins, 7 draws & 14 defeats.

SiJ Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The 09/10 would beat this lot. Seriously. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Funnily enough we are on exactly the same wins draws losses and obviously points as we were the year we went down. Difference being we had scored 15 more goals in 2009. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 09/10 by far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristmace Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 There at least seemed to be fight and leadership in the 09/10 team. I remember Purse screaming orders at players and JJ crying leaving the pitch after a mistake of his cost us points. They were poor but they cared. 20/21 just don't seem to give a to55 at all.

sheffield_dave Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 That 09/10 team has a couple of extremely distinct qualities that we’ve spent 5 years and millions of quid utterly failing to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 09/10 team I don't ever remember calling them spinless, gutless players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onge Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 09/10 squad was bought on a shoe-string. They were poor but gave it a go. This lot has cost an absolute fortune. And the end result will be the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 the 09/10 team was better than this one. I'd say 02/03 one runs this one close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Looking at that 09/10 team it isn't that bad on paper. Not World Beaters by any streach of the imagination but should not have gone down. Current side is a mixture of not good enough, unbalanced and players over the hill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go through the players outside the most picked 11 too there were players who genuinely came on and made a difference in games. Leon Clarke or Elias Kachunga? Ettiene Esajas or Jordan Rhodes? Tommy Miller or Izzy Brown? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The 2009/10 team scored 49 goals over the season. The 2020/21 team has scored 21 goals in 31 games so isn’t getting near 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - the current lot remind me of 02/03, right down to disastrous Chelsea loan signing (Leon Knight vs Izzy Brown) and a complete lack of cojones... A typical line-up might be: Pressman Haslam Westwood Bromby Barry-Murphy Hamshaw MacLaren Soltvedt Quinn Owusu Kuqi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
