Bett

Mason

Grant,

Van Der ven.

Kane.

C. Robertson.

 

Gllhaus.

Shearer.

Jess.

Booth.

Paatelainen.

Nicholas.

Van Der ark.

 

I've combined the two squads, how does the current side compare.with the last two sides to to close to winning title

It's always impossible to compare current teams against ones from past eras, but I'd say that both teams are similar in confidence, skill and speed level compared to the other teams in their league at the time. Probably a cop out

 

If we were allowed to have just three players from the old team now, I'd go for McLeish, Gilhaus and Nicholas

 

And it always pissed me off massively when Winnie got booed when the lineups were read out before the game, way to build confidence Main Stand fannies

Nice... that list makes me feel giddy.

 

Of that lot, the ones I would like in our current team are:

 

Defenders:

Mckimmie.
McLeish.
Connor,

Midfield:

Bett
Mason
Richardson.

Strikers:
Gllhaus.
Shearer.
Jess.
Booth.
Paatelainen.
Nicholas.

 

If I have to be stingy and pick only 3 it would be Gilhaus, Shearer and Mason and Richardson. That's close enough to 3.

Connor was a midfielder.

The late eighties squad is better than our current squad but it probably the last time that was the case. We shouldn't down play how good our current squad is - and compared to the recent past they are so much more solid; not without flaw and areas that can be improved but ouor current league position is fully justified. They need to continue to justify it though - a season is a long time and a test of character as well as ability.

 

But oh, to have that 80s/90s midfield again with Gilhaus and Nicholas up front - it'd be fun - that late 80s/early 90s team would give sides in the current champions league a run for their money.

I think Hayes and Shinnie would get into that side, possibly McLean, who reminds me a wee bit of Billy Stark/Connor (who both got massive stick, little did we know what was coming!)

 

I like Adam Rooney but the lads up front were on a different planet- and good though Danny Ward is, he's no Theo yet.

 

However, we better any side after this era for me.

Wouldnt take Mcleish simply because we have Taylor very strong in the same position. Jess maybe for the creativity, or Brian Grant to muscle people, get the ball and give it to Ryan Jack. But then you'd need Jim Bett to scream "what the fuck are you doing you sideways crablike prick" at him all the time to get the best out of him, and to show him where the opposition goals actually are.

 

Edit: and Shinnie would get into the late 80's team, no others.
