Nailed it. Our squad is unbalanced. Defence and midfield definitely best ever. Frontline is bottom 3 Prem IMHO.

When they can better 13th place and 52 points, yes, they will be. The potential is there.

Hugo you are 100% correct. I am old enough to remember the team that finished higher in the old first division. Difficult to judge across eras, but I genuinely believe the current crop are just one player away from being top 10. I think we all know who I think that player is. Once that player is acquired, then this group will be correctly entitled the best ever. Until then... they are not..,

You are correct.This side with Robbo in it would be top ten easily.
Sorry if i upset you

That is a point of view.
For me, comparison of the two sides man for man puts the current players significantly ahead in both individual footballing skills and quality of team play.
Yes of course it is, if this is another backhanded swipe against Maupay, he really doesn’t deserve it
Different game back then - comparisons of any sort are not like for like. It's all about results (points). If/when we finish above 13th. we'll be able to say we've got a better squad.
I’ve never understood this argument.
Are modern day computers not “better” than computers from the 1980s?
Mobile phones are better than they were in the 1980s. So what? And what have computers got to do with it? We don't play with a team of computers.
Once we got ourselves to a position where there were only 12 teams in the land better than us that season. We haven't done it again, not yet anyway.
When we achieve our highest ever league finish we will achieve our highest ever league finish.
I was a massive Ward fan, in fact it was him that got me going to the Albion as a regular, that division three season was fantastic. However he was not that great as a Div 1 player
