The class of 2009/10 vs the class of 2022/23

[CamPie]

Some questions to ponder regarding the two outstanding Notts teams of the century:

1. Who is/was the better striker, Langstaff or Hughes?

2. What about Ruben vs Ben Davies?

3. If you had to make a combined 11 from the two teams, who would make the cut?

For me, Hughes is still the best striker and one of the best players I've seen in a Notts shirt. The fact he did it at all levels says everything you need to know. Could Langstaff do the same? Possibly, we'll see. Plus, Hughes was more than a striker, he was a talisman. I doubt we'll ever see another play get the fans going like he did. Certified Notts legend.

Ruben and Davies are/were very different players, so it's hard to compare. They both had a massive impact and were the main creators in two outstanding teams. Davies' delivery was superior, but Ruben's all-round game and creativity on the ball is probably better. Hard to say really, but if we go up and Ruben sticks around, he'll take the crown.

My combined 11:

Kasper

Edwards Lee Cameron

Nemane Palmer Bishop(cpt) Davies

Ruben

Hughes Langstaff

Subs: Slocombe, Thompson, Westcarr, Ravenhill, Rogers, Scott
Manager: LW (with Cotterill as assistant)

I know I've shoehorned Davies in at LWB, but he who cares. WHAT A TEAM.

Brilliant questions, but I’ve had beer, red wine and now on the rum so I’ll answer tomorrow (maybe) along with the goals and attendance question.

Hughes all day as like Elite says he performed to a much higher level.

I’d go Davies as he did it in the championship / league one we don’t really know if Ruben could although I suspect he could play league one for sure.

Not sure many would make the side of 2010 and it depends on the formation but we got even better when Facey came into that side due to his strength and holding the ball up perfect foil for Hughes though be hard to leave Langstaff out.

Palmer Ruben Langstaff are the only three I would give a chance of starting games.
