Is our League 1 winning side BETTER than our current side?

[saafend_seagull]

Ankergren = Ankergen
Greer = Greer
El-Abd < Hughes
Calderon < Bruno
Painter = Chicksen
Bennett > Buckley
Noone > Lua Lua
Dicker < Crofts
Bridcutt > Toko
Barnes > COG / JFC
Murray > CMS

I make that 5 V 3.

5 new signings are needed.......

 

[Munkfish]

That is just starting 11.

I would say they are about the same, however we had a goals in Murray and Barnes.

Greer has a couple of years what he did back then.

and Murray, Barnes, Bridcutt, Noone and Bennett have all played / will have played in the premier league since then.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

No it's not better.

keepers L1 < keepers now
defence L1 < defence now
midfield L1 < midfield now
strikers L1 > strikers now

 

[Napper]

Would fancy our side now to beat that side. Buckley could potentially tear Painter a new one.

Both sides would be let down with a GK howler.

Close games but over a season our current side would be a few places above the L1 side IMO

On what evidence are you basing the verdict that Toko is inferior to (a 21 year old) Bridcutt, or that 16 goal Championship striker O'Grady is inferior to 20 goal League One striker Ashley Barnes?

It is my opinion.

Barnes sold for a higher fee with 6 months on his contract remaining. Barnes wasn't really used as a striker, and had a return of 81 games, 31 goals in the league. Far better than COG career striker rate. Barnes is also a few years younger.

If Toko was as good as Bridcutt he would have been wanted by a top tier side.

 

[Puppet Master]

An older Greer does not make him the same Greer.

 

[DTES]

keepers L1 < keepers now

Casper Ankergren < Casper Ankergren?

Bridcutt, Noone and Barnes weren't wanted by top tier sides back then either.

If you're judging the league 1 side from how good they've turned out be then fair enough, but it puts players such as Toko at a bit of a disadvantage. If he's not as good as Bridcutt is now (which we don't actually know), I'm willing to bet he's better than Bridcutt was back then...so which way are you looking at it?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Pretty sure we had a similar poll this time last year. We'll get players in before the end of the transfer window and it'll be a pointless thread. IMO like

Exactly.

What a ridiculous statement. Bridcutt wasn't wanted by a top tier side when he was in League 1. In fact he wasn't wanted by anybody before Gus transformed into a proper player. The same thing could happen to Toko. Have you seen him play yet

 

[Triggaaar]

Painter = Chicksen
Noone > Lua Lua
Barnes > COG

I disagree with those.

Bridcutt was 2.5 years younger when we brought him in compared to Toko.

So ?

 

[saafend_seagull]

I disagree with those.

Well we won't ever start with both CMS and COG therefore COS should really be replaced by JFC hence the "/JFC".

 

[darters74]

I disagree with those.

Noone was not better than Lua Lua. Can't judge the Barnes/COG one yet............

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Casper Ankergren < Casper Ankergren?

Ankergren + Walton > Ankergren + Brezovan

 

[Triggaaar]

Well we won't ever start with both CMS and COG

Maybe I'm being too hopeful.

 

[nwgull]

If Barnes is better than COG, then why did Barnes only score 8 goals in 43 championship games last year (for 2 top 6 sides), compared to COG scoring 15 in 40 for a relegated team?

I rate KLL higher than Noone as well.
