Slow day so . . .
If we had got promoted with Wilson and, presumably, kept that team, do you reckon it was better than what we have now?
I realise it would be comparing teams in different leagues but, FWIW, I reckon our present side with PdC has enormous potential - especially with the financial backing there seems to be.
Easily better. We played some bloody great stuff that season. OK we have done at times this season but the standard has been a fair bit lower than it was in L1 a few years back.
If you look at the key players we lost and see where some of them are now it tells the story. Greer doing well at Brighton in the Championship where they were not far off the play-offs, Austin scoring a few goals for Burnley and Danny Ward just promoted to the championship and has been playing at the top end of L1 ever since he left Bolton. I'll also include Paynter despite the fact his time at Leeds wasn't great.
When you look at the other players we had in the team they are now nothing more than average L1 players but this was exactly why we were so bad last season. The big players we had resulted in us being a very good team. When those 4 left we were an average team made worse by the replacements bought in.
The quality we have now (bar 4 or 5 players) doesn't really compare in my opinion. We have a better team spirit and manager now though and if we do get some decent signings in this summer there is no reason why we can't emulate 09/10.
