Team of the 90s v today’s team

Anyone that thinks anyone apart from Bully would even come close is frankly ****in deluded.

Dean Richards and Keith Curle i reckon would have had a good chance of making our current team.

Dean Richards without a doubt. Would be perfect in this current team.
Boly, Coady, and Richards at the back sounds good to me.

Today's team would wipe the floor with them in terms of ability and fitness.

But there are some individual players that could really shine under Nuno.

Dean Richards as one of our outside centre-backs could be another Boly. Imagine his surging runs from deep in today's team!

Froggatt had all the attacking and defensive attributes to make a superb left wing-back.

Andy Thompson could do a very solid job on the other side and battle with Raul for penalty duties!

And Bully. Stick him in any team, at any level and he'd get goals. Not sure he's suited to the middle of a front 3, but stick prime Bully alongside Raul in a 5-3-2 and he'd get 30+ goals a season!!

I think the team from that era would be best in a 5-3-2 (3-5-2), a formation we often adopted at the time.

90's team wouldn't even beat the noughties team.

Just a bunch of ageing injury prone overvalued bottlers, whilst the noughties team got into the Premier twice.

A reckon VAR would rule a lot of those questionable 'chests' out for handball nowadays!!
