Haha in fairness to Sheehan he was very good in 09/10. Morrison always looked dodgy to me.

Forgot about Miglioranzi, he would be in my side instead of Igoe - centre midfield and defence was an area short on quality options.

No Caddis on the basis that he only proved himself at League 2 level for us.

We have definately had a lot more quality at RB than LB during the last 10 years, no one really stands out at LB


Title: Re: Best Swindon XI From Last 10 Years

weren't allowed to have Danny Ward!


Title: Re: Best Swindon XI From Last 10 Years
Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Friday, April 26, 2013, 18:20:06
Ward could have been in there. He was here for a good half season at least wasn't he? I only said about short term loans to avoid James Milner being in every side.

Good shout, got me thinking this so here goes...

Foderingham - best keeper since Digby for me. Imperious.

Caddis - finest RB I've seen since Kerslake, gutted and perplexed when he left the club.
Greer - True leader of men at the back.
Ifil - The BEAST was quality for us. 200+ appearances for the mighty reds? come on.
Nicholas - Honestly can't find a better more consistent LB over last 10yrs. clearly slim pickings for the no.3 jersey!

Igoe - what a player, on his day really was untouchable, will never forget his debut pre season thought we'd signed the blond maradona
Miglioranzi - classy, silky skills, unlocked defenses, a joy to watch was Migz.
McCormack - What a fucking player. Earns his spot in any team.
D, D Ward - power, pace, skill, excitement, creative, goals. Complete package.

Parkin - First name on the teamsheet. Old School forward with sublime positioning and an eye for a finish out of nothing.
Austin - probably most natural finisher I've seen at the CG in 25 years. He really was THAT good.


Bench:
Smith (G) - a more than worthy no.2 between the sticks
Cox - only two slots up top but what a player to come off the bench...
Gurney - fucking solid bastard with a demon free kick on him. never forget what nearly was, that night at elland road...
Howard - shone in a truly decent team but couldn't quite find him a first XI place
Heywood - Solid cover at CB
Peacock - consistent performer, always gave 100% and some vital goals
Ferry - Just makes it in but more to come from the wee man

Didn't Comminges win player of the year at left back?


Title: Re: Best Swindon XI From Last 10 Years
Post by: RedRag on Saturday, April 27, 2013, 06:58:59
pretty sure it was right back

quite an eyeopener that we have had no remotely outstanding left backs in ten years.

Wonder if the new improved (well chunkier) Danny Ward could be made into one?


Title: Re: Best Swindon XI From Last 10 Years
Post by: wigglesworth on Saturday, April 27, 2013, 07:02:40
I used to regularly remark that Michael Timlin was the "best left back at the club" and he wasn't even a proper left back.

LB was a pain to pick, I nearly plumped for Vincent but decided against it due to the way in which he was bombed out of the club for being a woman beater so went for a RB who often played LB for us.

Is Ifil a typo Sonic?


Title: Re: Best Swindon XI From Last 10 Years
Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, April 27, 2013, 11:14:28
Nope, he always played well alongside someone who was a strong leader and Greer fits that criteria better than anyone imo

:eek: Heywood.

I'd go for:

Ritchie      Douglas      Ferry

Cox

Parkin      Austin



Accepting in practice it might well be a totally unbalanced disaster.

Other than putting Thompson at RB and Comminges at LB that's probably what I'd have.
