Sent this on Twitter but will repeat here:

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, Purkiss Robertson, 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!

Harsh on Purkiss. 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.

Spoilt for CMs, next to no-one upfront so some good old fashioned recency bias sees Pele get the nod.

Yes, although Purkiss played occasionally at CB, if memory serves me right. Robertson was truly awful.

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.

Oh without a doubt. Di Canio signed some serious shite before he got it right.

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!

Went on to achieve sweet FA.

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.

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)

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

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.
