Forster+Murray. The best Albion strike partnership since when?

[turienzo's lovechild]

zamora and steele were ok, steele was a bit too inconsistent though........

what about marney and wilkinson?

turienzo and mccammon?

 

[Curious Orange]

Byrne and Small, case closed.

 

[RM-Taylor]

what about marney and wilkinson?

Oh I remember the game at Rotherham away when these two started up-front :thud:

Great manager Martin Hinshelwood

 

[Storer68]

knight and mcphee??

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Oh I remember the game at Rotherham away when these two started up-front :thud:

Great manager Martin Hinshelwood

i also remember a game at home in which we unleashed the TRIANGLE OF DOOM

marney-----kitson-----wilkinson

 

[FORDY]

I have to agree with Baird and Maskell. The pressure was on and Maskell played off Baird really well during that period. Both never really got the plaudits at the time due to the off field troubles.

 

[fatboy]

Marney and Wilkinson in The Chapionship.

 

[Mackenzie]

Small and Byrne were a classic pair, flair, creativity, skill, strength and lots of goals. When Micky had the ball things happened, we were fortunate to have him when we did as his career really fizzled out after us.

 

[Jimbo26]

Definitely Michael Small and Jonathan Byrne !!!

 

[Scotty Mac]

I can understand the sentiment but does that make them a good partnership because at the time we were bottom of the division below what we are in now.

If they had been any good we would have been higher up in the division because they would have scored more goals.

well then surely by that reckoning it is the partnership that fired us to our highest league position - whoever that was. and if you are going to apply the logic of a strikeforce getting us high up the table, then mcphee and knight were better, and virgo and mccammon

i dont think you can say that they werent good because of where we were in the table - they got nearly 30 goals between them, which accounted for over half of what we scored that season - even more vital when you consider the fact we stayed up on goals scored. it was the team around them that was the problem

 

[bobbab5]

Kennedy and Nogan!

 

[ken tiler]

I think Hart and Barker were the last reasonable partnership.

 

[Mrs Coach]

Budgie! Squark!

 

[unnameable]

Leon Knight and his ego weren't bad.

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Turienzo and McCammon

 

[Superseagull]

Small and Byrne were a classic pair, flair, creativity, skill, strength and lots of goals. When Micky had the ball things happened, we were fortunate to have him when we did as his career really fizzled out after us.

Mickey Small went to West Ham for £400K and scored 18 goals in the first season of the Premiership - not bad in a side that got relegated that season He then dropped out of the West Ham first team and ended up at Wolves I think?

Byrne was sold to Sunderland for a criminal £225K not long after, but as per usual we had big bills to pay quickly.

Byrne & Small were class. If we had kept them together for another season i'm sure we would have got promoted to the Premiership in 1992.

 

[TSB]

Leon Knight and his ego weren't bad.

Aiden Newhouse and Darren Freeman, with BIG Davey Cameron to support them.
Pure quality.......well, it did for Mansfield anyway!

 

[Questions]

Alex Dawson and Kit Napier.

They got a few together one season.

Ward and Mellor though must be the best. Mind you I remember Mellor getting plenty of unwarranted stick.............. nothings much changed around Brighton fans as there are still the mis-guided moaners about.

 

[NMH]

Ward and Mellor.
Not too difficult to pick really, as Ward was surely the best forward we ever had play for us, and Mellor could consistently capitolise from his own good skills - plus what dropped from the table while Ward was drawing three defenders!

Spider Mellor was our version of Peter Crouch, and Ward - well, I can only compare him with George Best.

Jimmy Greaves said Ward was better than him - quite an accolade, but really not an outrageous statement, even for one of the greatest English players ever.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Nothing will beat Craig and Maskell, they're the soul reason why we didn't get relegated to the Conference.
