That side beats our current 11, doesn't it?

[Evo1883]

No

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Maybe

 

[pusbccfc]

No

On current level, they take us to the cleaners. Back then, maybe not.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

It's close. I think our squad is stronger than then but first eleven about the same.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well for a start you'd have to clone 4 players and then make them play against themselves

 

[Martin180]

If we dare play our best xi then that side is in trouble

Suppose the big difference is the £20m difference spent

But Hamer and O'Hare even then were far better than anyone we have now.

Marosi , Ostigard , Dabo , Shipley ,Giles ?
Like the idea of the thread but really ?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Ignoring the cloning, and assuming that the 'old' team's ability is as it was 3 years ago, the current squad beats it with everyone fit.

Even on tonight's performance

Yes they are all weaker than what we have. But Hamer and O'Hare are much better than our current team.

Easy to forget how much that team struggled especially early on. Hyam on the left of defence was a particular weakness.

Hamer is the best player we've had since relegation in my opinion and O'Hare will make a massive difference to the side when he's fit

Exactly that's the point I was making. Although on O'Hare it's not a given that he will be as good post injury.

Ostigard was good. Giles was wasted in our system.

Shipley really struggled in that first season. As did Allen.



Brandon Mason was on the bench

So are we not counting the £35million sold ?

It's a fair argument that Clive Eakin keeps mentioning but it's two players.

Going on some of the opinions expressed on here, many would struggle to remember their own name.

Also Max Biamou led the line for more than a couple of games that season.

Haji Wright and Ellis Simms are on course to score fewer goals

Biamou was also playing with painkilling injections in at least some of those games. Come to think of it I needed one leaving the ground tonight after that.

Yeah, and those 2 players were part of the team that earned a return of 3 points from the first 7 games last season so the current team have got worse and gone backwards to the tune of +4 points

I’d forgotten that………

Not quite, but close.

Hamer factor is fucking huge.

Wait till you see the performances

 

[Greggs]

We'd be drawing, then Robins would make subs and we'd lose

 

[pusbccfc]

Or we'd be losing 1-0 and rather than put on a £3.5m striker and Sakamoto, he'd bring on Bidwell and Bobby Thomas.

Would love a player of Giles ability here

Would take him now , back then he was very raw

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

It’s 2 players though, we’ve bought effectively a new team with 20m - and we looked miles off the pace against a team in a transfer embargo

The problem is, Robins wouldn't allow him to use his ability.

I still sense that's the problem with MVE currently. He's being told he need to track back.

Hence why he's moaning about Sakamoto with the goal.

Whilst this is true , we also have to think beyond black and white and accept that all teams play poorly from time to time

Well he does need to track back / defend as the two goals conceded when Sakamoto was on the pitch attest.
