Class Of 92-93 V 25 Years On.

[ericblack4boss]

A few folk on here have mentioned that our squad now is up there with willie millers side quarter of a century ago.

 

Thought I would list them both against either. For comparison.

 

Goalkeepers.

 

Snelders. Lewis

Watt. Rodgers

 

Defenders.

 

Wright. Logan

Connor. Considine

McLeish. O Connor.

Mckimmie. Reynolds

Irvine. Arnasson

Smith. McKenna

Watson Gregg. Harvie.

Watson Graham

Winnie.

 

Midfield.

 

Grant. Christie

Mason. Shinnie

Aitken. McLean.

Kane. GMS.

Richardson Tansey.

Ten caat. Stewart.

 

Forwards.

 

Jess. May

Shearer. Rooney

Booth. Stockley

Paatelainen. Maynard

Roddie. Wright.

S Thomson.

Gibson.

 

OK so the 92 squad was bigger but how does it compare with the present day one.

[aberdeen1970]

I think another good comparison would be with the 1990 squad.

[ericblack4boss]

Didnt come out as I planned did leave a gap between the two squads

Apologies

[aberdeen1970]

I think that 92 squad has a better defence and better forwards . On balance I like the mobility of the current midfield. 92 edges it for me but it's good that we finally have a squad that bears comparison

[BWG]

Aye the 92 squads defence is way better than our current one. Oh for an Irvine.

[Guest milne_afc]

Who is the defender Connor?

 

92/93 would run up a cricket score.

[Redstar]

Robert/Bobby...top mouser.

[Guest milne_afc]

Defender lol

[King Street Loon]

I think you're comparisons are way off.

The players don't match up positionally.

It's a very hard comparison to make.

I still think the 90's squad would comfortably beat today's team.

Bobby Connor was left midfield every game for seasons fuck nos how he's been shifted to left back 25 years later.

Jimmys tactical tombola has been broken out.

[ericblack4boss]

Ksl they are not matched up exactly positionally but i thought you would realise that. Ive given you too much credit all these years.

 

Bwg. Go fuck yourself . connor played left back on occassions just like youve been an arsehole on numerous occasions

[Sonoftherock]

Class of '92 would win about 7 or 8 nil... and probably wouldn't need to break sweat.

 

Quite sad when you see that. Shows how far Scottish football has fallen.

[Dal Riata Don]

The 92/93 squad are miles ahead in goalkeeping, defense and forwards.

 

The only area where I'd pick one or two of the current lot [shinnie & Christie - thought not ahead of Grant as listed] is in midfield and that would be to compensate with the current pace and running of our game.

[thomsod]

Is jimmys top squad more comparable?

I think the league in 92/93 and maybe even in jimmys days were a higher standard than is now.

To be honest, I think the current class would easily beat Jimmys lot. Some absolute abominations in that team.

 

Hard to pin-point when exactly the standard dropped in scottish football. Was probably co-incident with the SKY revolution of English football. That would have began around '92... so i think EB4B's comparison is an interesting one. I reckon it probably took until the late 90's early 00's for the standard to really bottom out.

 

I was a season ticket holder from 97-00 and the standard was utterly woeful. Some absolute shocking player at Pittodrie: Mackie, Young brothers, McGuire, McAllister, Lilley, Perry, Solberg, etc... I remember watching us a few times against Dundee united and at the time, Maurice Malpas, who was approaching his 40th, was usually the best player on the park. He was fat and slow, but read the game well and was light-years ahead in terms of technical ability. At his age, he shouldn't have been able to compete.

I'll tell you when the demise started.

1998, the inception of that cartel.

The SPL.

The season before it started the combined debt of premier division clubs was £10million, then the SPL started.

[The Boofon]

The original post was a nice ideas although executed poorly.

 

No comparison with defence and forwards. For the record Connor played left mid

 

Connor played where he wanted.

 

Star jump celebration his highlight.

Give me a break.

I was pished on the bus when i posted.

Still think the 90's squad would romp this current one.

Roger was class.

Quite the mouser.

[Redstar]

Roger was class.

Quite the mouser.

Agreed...he rocked the early 80's Clappy Valley look throughout his career...he would have almost certainly owned both a 3 litre Capri and an XR3 at some stage.

OK the forward line in both squads could be safely described as the two best we have ever had.

 

Rooney. Maynard. Stewart. May. GMS. Wright. 2017

 

Pattelainen. Shearer. Booth. Jess. Mason. 1992.

 

Nicholas. Gillhaus. Jess. Booth. Van der ark. 1990.

 

I'd certainly say the 92 forwards would all easily be first pics today.

[King Street Loon]

I would love a Brian Grant, Paul Mason and Lee Richardson in this current squad.

[ericblack4boss]

Aye alongside shinnie.

[ebbe]

The class of 92/93 would pump this lot. The current crop are screaming for a Bisconti/Heikennen and I think McInnes has assembled a pool that couldn't be bettered.

[RUL]

Yeah I think our 92 team would win too. Powerful team.

[OddJob]

Yeah as good a squad that McInnes has assembled, as said that 92/93 team would destroy them. Mason, Grant, Rico and Connor in midfield and With Shearer, Jess & Paatelainen upfront, oocha fucking beastie. Fucking travesty we never won the league with that team

[BWG]

I'll put my tin hat on here and say that overall Rooney, May and Christie are actually a better attacking force than Dunc, Mixu and Jess.

 

Jess would obviously still walk into our team like.
