Our team compared to 2010

[Chicken Balti Pie]

How many of our current team gets into that one.Not sure any do.Is Jodi Jones better than Ben Davies ,i dont think so.Macca better than Luke Rogers ,umm not sure about that either .If you agree with me that the 2010 was far superior then it shows how far we have to go.

Are you for real? Davies was better for set pieces but no way was he better than Jodi Jones, you've been on the good stuff. Langstaff is also far better than Luke Rogers, I'd even go as far to say he's better than Hughes when on form.

Players who'd get in that side

Jones, better than Davies
Palmer, better than Ravenhill
Nemane, better than Westcarr
Langstaff, better than Rogers

And if I want to be really controversial
Langstaff, better than Hughes
Scott, better than Rogers

Curiously the three defenders with the most appearances that 2009/10 season (all 32 apps or more) were Thompson, Edwards and Hunt, who were all at the club before Russell King took control.

Sorry but there's no way Langstaff is better than Hughes. I love Macca, but Hughes was on a completely different level in virtually all areas of his game. Hughes is pretty much the best striker we've had outside the top flight.

I'd also argue that Westcarr was better, or at least not worse, than Nemane. He was an excellent crosser of the ball and scored double figures.

Always tricky to compare teams from different eras as football has changed so much, but that Munto side was strong in every area and had a manager who knew how to get us playing as a team. Jones would get in the Munto team as he's head and shoulders above most L2 wingers. Macca is a better goal scorer than Rogers, so maybe he'd get in, and Palmer is obviously a better player than Ravenhill, although we'd lose some bite.

Oh for a defender like Graeme Lee today.

What a strange thread. I don’t think any of the 2009/2010 side get in ahead anyone in the 91-92 season. An equally pointless comparison.
That side in 2010 was a damn good side with plenty of quality players, bought in with Monopoly money.
Hughes was at the end of his career and on the way down, Langstaff is in the middle of his career and appears to be going up. Would Langstaff have scored 25-30 goals in that 2010 side? Would Hughes do the same in the current squad? We all know scoring goals in the current squad hasn’t been an issue.
If we had the 2010 defence now, would we be any better off? Could they have played the way that’s being asked?
Essentially we are comparing 2 sides from separate football generations, one that won the league with one that is languishing in the bottom half. 2 sides with polar opposites in footballing philosophies.
