Most liked posts in thread: Team of The Decade

Not looked at the options yet to decide, but Caddis over Darby, really?..sorry cant get my head around that one

 

Up top its has to be Hanson and Wells. Wish they were in our team now cos we would be top of the league by a country mile by now.

 

Pickford
Darby McArdle Davies Meredith
Marshall Cullen Jones Reid
Hanson Wells

 

Just my opinion, but aren't we overrating Caddis. Sure he stood out initially in a very poor team but towards the end of his time here he was very ordinary at best

 

Jon Stead definitely wasn't poor, but no chance does he edge out Hanson in team of the decade.

Davies for me is absolutely first name on the team sheet, Jones second.

 

Pickford

Darby Rory Davies Meredith (if Wood continues he would take it)
Marshall Jones Cullen Reid
Hanson Wells

 

Depends on the criteria. Based on contribution over the decade, then yeah, Hanson would be in over Stead. But I've gone purely with who I think was the better player and able to perform to a higher level when at their best. That was Stead. His performance at Chelsea was phenomenal

 

Reading the T&A it looks like Simon Parker has dropped in and seen our Team of the Decade thread, here's his best 11.

Jon McLaughlin
Stephen Darby, Rory McArdle, Andrew Davies, James Meredith
Mark Marshall, Gary Jones, Josh Cullen, Kyel Reid
James Hanson, Nahki Wells

 

That's basically what I did -- I really wanted to stick with our own players, but Cullen's two good seasons won me over.

RCB

 

That is some team but I'd personally include Burke sorry Rory it would be at your expense .

 

Exactly my team.

Didn't want to pick loanees, but Cullen was here two seasons and Pickford was class in the end

 

You're right. Weve had some right shite in the last 10 years.

Anyone who's been half decent has generally been on loan.

 

You've done it now.

 

Love the reply......Terry did say it though honest :https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/11788557.terry-lauds-hanson-for-leaving-chelsea-black-and-blues/

Of course as fans we will all have different opinions, without doubt Stead was an inspiration at Stamford Bridge on the day and he certainly had a good pedigree playing the vast majority of his career in the top two division's.
Is your last comment is any more relevant to the youth of today than what many have seen in the past, it's been pretty sh!t for possibly 50 of the 60+ years during my time,unfortunately that's what you get following your home town club, you sometime wish you'd been born in Liverpool, Manchester,Birmingham or London.

 

I think Stead himself said the Chelsea game was his best ever performance, @Rogered Tart was being miserly with a 10.

 

is that a piss take??

 

I knew it would be a controversial choice. One made over 100 appearances for the club and was part of some the best moments in our history. The other one was part of one of the worst City squads I've seen. I get it.Once you take sentiments out of it it's probabaly not as ridiculous as you think it is.

When it came down to it Caddis could dominate in a way that Darby never could. A no nonsense Right Back who had far more ability Imo. Put him in a better team, playing under a better manager and he's the better player Imo, althoigh I accept I'm probably in a minority here.

 

I can see where you are coming from . Saying that I chose TM for RB as I think he affected the overall game more than SD or PC ever did. Shows how much we miss them though.

 

Reece Burke has to be in, when was the last time we saw a ball playing centre half as good as him, probably Dean Richards.
