Think it is a little early for this. 2 wins in 9 games is hardly setting the world on fire.
Potentially this could be very good but let’s not get carried away.

Barry Lloyds 87/88 team would smash them.

Ah Paul Clark, what a lump he was, great midfielder. I remember seeing him in EP when I was about 15 and thought he looked like Teddy Maybank so asked him to sign an autograph for me as Maybank
Strange,
I thought he was a defender.
Absolutely.
And I think in time we will say Potter is the greatest manager in our history too.
Despite the bad luck we have had so far, I am loving this season.

This.
My first visit to the Goldstone was just over 50 years ago. This is the best we have ever been. In the top tier and decent. Exciting, even.
Meanwhile, DF is ******* over 'Guns and Ammo'. Tragic
Hopefully there won't be more to come....at least not in March and April. I should qualify: I am hoping we will be smug rather than disconsolate at that time

The football played in the late 70s was "of it's time" Is it possible to compare different eras. If my great heroes, Jimmy Greaves, Peter Ward etc, were subject to present day regimes of training, fitness and tactical awareness, I'm sure they would still be superstars. I was looking at the pitch quality today (perfect) How would today's players fare on the mud heaps of the seventies ? Games today would be postponed if they were in that condition.

Don’t be silly, they will all be in their 60’s by now

If the aim of playing football is to win matches, then no. Mike Bailey's team that finished 13th was superb at getting wins. We haven't got a striker anywhere near as good as Michael Robinson or a midfield player with the craft and know-how of Jimmy Case.

No, 81-82’s better IMO
Not to mention a ball weighing about two kilograms (and more when wet)!
Very debatable, perhaps defensively, but even then I can't honestly say Webster/Duffy and Dunk are better than Foster and Lawrenson/Suddaby
Midfield wise probably 'yes', but I think Horton would add something
Up front this team is definitely weaker.

We did have a team in 1910 that could beat Villa.
Definitely a midfielder

That's scary. They're all still 20ish in my head.

Who would be a modern equivalent of Michael Robinson?
Don't know. I wasn't watching for the first 80 years. Bad fan!
What I do know is that despite having only won two matches and despite having lost today and despite being 16th in the table I am really enjoying this season and the football that we are watching.
