Title: Team of the 2010s Post by: Costanza on Monday, November 25, 2019, 14:04:46 Hello folks,
Due to next week being fixtureless, I'm doing a 'Team of the Decade' episode and I'd be interested to see other efforts (which will help me in prep) I'm looking for - Starting XI - Seven subs (six outfield/one goalkeeper) - Formatiob - Manager Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, November 25, 2019, 14:21:37 3-5-2

Sent this on Twitter but will repeat here: (4-3-3) Foderingham Toffolo, Greer, McCormack, Caddis Kasim, Douglas, Luongo Ritchie, Austin, Byrne Subs: Vigouroux, N Thompson, Flint, Ferry, Pritchard, L Thompson, A Williams Manager: PDC Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Nemo on Monday, November 25, 2019, 14:31:45 I also started on a worst team of the 2010s (minimum 10 apps) but thought better of sending it in case anyone involved was a potential future interviewee. Feels safer here though:
T Belford* BO-O, Lancashire, Brophy, Rodgers, Thomas, Dossevi Delfouneso, Andrew Manager: Paul Hart * only played eight times but actually most of our keepers this decade have been quite good Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Flashheart on Monday, November 25, 2019, 14:39:41 (https://i.imgur.com/j3rZ8mA.jpg)

Feels safer here though: T Belford* BO-O, Lancashire, Purkiss, Barry Brophy, Rodgers, Thomas, Dossevi Delfouneso, Andrew Manager: Paul Hart * only played eight times but actually most of our keepers this decade have been quite good Fair overall, but harsh on Purkiss if memory serves. Wasn’t there an awful Traoré to put in there? And how could Agombar miss out on a starting berth? And Stabby McStabface? And that wanker from ?Palace who thought he was too big for us but ended up getting kicked out of Scottish football. What was he called? *Apologies. Just saw your 10 apps caveat. **That lot all got 10+ apps? FML!

There have been much worse than him. Robertson for instance.... Tbh I think Robertson was the guy I was thinking about, they were the same season right? Purkiss was the right back and Robertson the centre back? 10 apps was an issue for GK/CB as those are positions you tend to get dropped in very quickly if you're dreadful. It also rules out the properly shit one/two appearancers like Agombar, Islam Feruz and so on. Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Tails on Monday, November 25, 2019, 14:59:17 Foderingham

Purkiss was the right back and Robertson the centre back? Yes, although Purkiss played occasionally at CB, if memory serves me right. Robertson was truly awful.Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Panda Paws on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:19:31 Yes, although Purkiss played occasionally at CB, if memory serves me right. Robertson was truly awful. Purkiss, Lancashire, Robertson, Taylor.... Enough to send shivers down any spine.

Moses Ashikodi Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Nemo on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:28:15 Moses Ashikodi From the 2008 season and therefore ineligible, if anyone wanted to feel old... Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Crispy on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:29:53 Tricky... Going with a 3-5-2.
GK - Foderingham RWB - Byrne CB's - Flint, Greer, Morrison LWB - Ritchie (Although he didn't play here for us...) CM's - Kasim, Doughty, Luongo ST's - Austin, Doyle Bench Vigoroux McCormack Caddis Ferry Ward Paynter Pritchard PDC at the wheel. Double Edit - Put in Parkin & Cox. Had to double check. Bloody hell, I'm getting old. Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Panda Paws on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:31:42 Seen a few shouts for Cox - left in 2009.
Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Crispy on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:32:40 Seen a few shouts for Cox - left in 2009. Guilty, just had to double check... 10 years ago! Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Panda Paws on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:41:43 Guilty, just had to double check... 10 years ago! I had to check too - was excited about an Austin/Cox double act. Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:44:18 I did one of these back in Jan in another thread...
Here was my offering.... Foderingham N. Thompson, Morrison, Greer, M.Taylor Byrne, Luongo, L Thompson, Ritchie Paynter, Austin Subs: Vigs, Collins, Ajose, Flint, Caddis, Gladwin, G Roberts Manager: PdC Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Red Frog on Monday, November 25, 2019, 15:57:55 Moses Ashikodi Nope, Ashikodi was McStabby. But who was the billy big bollocks who was sure he was bound for the top, but without the application to match his attitude? Got it: Ben Hutchinson, now there was one stroppy fucktrumpet. There have got to be a few of di Canio’s panic signings in a worst 11 - Comazzi, Téhoué, that awful keeper, the (even) less talented Risser brother. Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Panda Paws on Monday, November 25, 2019, 16:00:49 Lanzano, Gabillondo, Luke Rooney...
Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Crispy on Monday, November 25, 2019, 16:03:00 Nope, Ashikodi was McStabby.

There have got to be a few of di Canio’s panic signings in a worst 11 - Comazzi, Téhoué, that awful keeper, the (even) less talented Risser brother. Oh without a doubt. Di Canio signed some serious shite before he got it right. Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: horlock07 on Monday, November 25, 2019, 16:07:24 Nope, Ashikodi was McStabby. I forgot about him thraetening another Town old boy Mark McCammon with a pastic knife, proper nawty boy. There is just something about his Wiki entry that suggests he might be a bit of a pain in the arse... After all that 10 (6%) of his appearances cam with us! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Ashikodi But who was the billy big bollocks who was sure he was bound for the top, but without the application to match his attitude? Got it: Ben Hutchinson, now there was one stroppy fucktrumpet. Went on to achieve sweet FA. Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: tans on Monday, November 25, 2019, 16:32:35 Now playing in the Northern Premier League

Caddis Greer Morrison Byrne Pritchard Mason Luongo Ritchie Austin Doyle Vigs, Flint, McCormack, Swift, Ward, Collins, Ajose Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Frigby Daser on Monday, November 25, 2019, 18:43:10 Tried to do this without looking at others’ choices. I came up with the below - which is a cop out at left back by putting a right winger there. When your better options are Jamie Vincent, Liam Ridealgh, Harry Toffolo and Alan Sheehan (all good players, but no stars) it’s fair for Byrne to get the nod. No Thompsons for me. Good players, but in strong positions. Kasim loses out for losing it completely, but possibly had one of the best introductions when he was new to us.
Foderingham Caddis Greer McCormack - controversial maybe, but pure class when he was at CB. Gets it over Flint, Morrison and Stephens for me. Byrne Ritchie - on the right, where all his best games were. Douglas Luongo Ward Austin Doyle - Paynter runs him close, but I’m riding a Ginger Pele wave. There’s a fair few who have gone on to play higher that don’t feature. Jacob (or was it the other) Murphy, Gladwin, Pritchard, Morrison, Flint, Furlong. Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Old_Town_Red on Monday, November 25, 2019, 20:57:30 Quite tough really as we’ve had a lot of ups and downs in the last 10 years. Couple relegations, champions and 3 playoffs. However mine is:
GK: Fods RB: Caddis CBs: Flint & Greer LB: Byrne RM: Ritchie CMs: Ferry & Llungo LM: Pritchard ST: Austin ST: Ajose Subs: Vigs, N Thompson, McCormack, Douglas, Ward, Paynter, Doyle Manager: PDC Right hand side of Caddis, Ritchie and Ferry & left side the spurs lads :toocool: Honourable mentions: L Thompson, Williams, JPM, Kasim (on his day) Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: cheltred69 on Monday, November 25, 2019, 21:02:52 A fair bit of consensus around, showing that this hasn't been a classic decade for Town.
Anyhow, my choices: Foderingham Caddis Greer Flint McEveley Pritchard Luongo Grant Ritchie Austin Collins Subs: Vigoroux, N Thompson, McCormack, Byrne, Douglas, G Roberts, Ajose Title: Re: Team of the 2010s Post by: Frigby Daser on Monday, November 25, 2019, 22:36:55 An infamous XI would be good, whether because it’s Nile Ranger, or because they’ve had a nailed down spot despite their very limited ability (think the Dukes, Pooks and Howes of the 00s). I’ll sleep on that.
Edit: Matteo Lanzano - all good bar the catching Brad Barry - not as good as his uncle Alberto Commazzi - hailed as a coup, but couldn’t run (except away from the Italian fraud investigators) Chris Robertson - only worked in reverse gear Brandon Ormond Ottewille - not the new Ashley Cole Charlie Colkett - more flicks than a ten year old on FIFA. And as useful. James Brophy - Harry Agombar - for his associates. Anton Rodgers - looked like he could really play until the ball didn’t end up where it was supposed to. Thomas Dossevi - Nile Ranger - With special mentions to Tijane Reis, Drissa Traore, Elijah Adebayo, Jack Barthram, Troy Archibald-Henville, Daniel Boateng, Lukas Magera, Alan O’Brien, Elliot Bunyon, Calvin Andrew and Vincent Pericard.
