The9 Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 The current team would get murdered but eventually win on penalties after a 6-6 aggregate draw in which Pele was to blame for all the goals which all came from dead ball situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 You cannot compare it really, a divison apart. Viafara/Claus/Skacel/Bale/Baird/Alex/Rasiak/Saganowski (on form..)/Surman world apart in terms of quality IMO. let's not get carried away....with this current team we would struggle along in the bottom half of the champ.

Give it to Ron Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 Pardew didn't stop Charlton getting relegated in 2006-7. Or Strachan getting Coventry relegated? All managers go through bad times its how they deal with it that counts. I agree with DD had we had a manager that wanted to be here and interested in the team then we would of automatically gone up with the players we had. I will never forget Watford at home 2-0 down with 2 subs to use and he brings them on in injury time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had come to us in the CCC instead of them, he would have made those mistakes with us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 Once again, Blackstock wanted to leave - Burley wanted to keep him. Only because Burley was using him as a bit part player and seemed to prefer the awful Best. If he was picked more often, he would have stayed IMO.

If he was picked more often, he would have stayed IMO. Best didn't play until the end of that season. And Blackstock was 19 at the time - AND Burley was proven right playing Rasiak and Jones up front as first choice strikers, don't you think? If Blackstock wasn't prepared to fight for his place against two better strikers then that's his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after the team I posted there's still Saganowski, Viafara, Best, Blackstock, Idiakez, Bialkowski, Dyer etc not included. Some of us said this at the time but we were drowned out by what used to be known as 'happy clappies' who considered finishing 6th on the last day of the season a very acceptable outcome. Apparently in Saint George-give-him-five-years-Burley they trusted.... for me GB is right up there with RL in the decline and fall of our club... all water under the bridge now and I am quite enjoying the present and looking fd very much to the next 5 years, loved the 80's clips posted up on the other thread.

If Blackstock wasn't prepared to fight for his place against two better strikers then that's his choice. I agree about the Rasiak, Jones partnership being first choice but if he had been fighting just those two for a place, he would have stayed. The management however, preferred Best and saw McGoldrick as the "next best thing". Then they signed BWP. Blackstock saw the writing on the wall (plus the chance to establish himself in the first team at QPR) so he understandably left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlton was a poisoned chalice like our job was he still got west ham prmototed and then to an FA cup final I would like to think with the player we had and £7-8m he would have achieved better than scraping 6th and losing the first hurdle of te play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 James is better than Jesus by far - not great compliment tho! No he isn't. Just my opinion, but Ostlund was far better at winning the ball and in terms of pace and aerial ability. Ostlund got a lot of criticism for his positional sense, but I think it's a dead heat with James in that dept. In the playoff season we only lost 5 games in which Ostlund played. 4 of them were away, including a trip to Man City. 2 of them were against Brum and Sunderland, the League top 2 and in one of them he came on at half time when we were already losing and didn't concede again from then on. http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=38159 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 Ostlund better for pace, agression and ball winning not as good for positional sense and marking James wins it for me with his added attacking quality/crosses etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TijuanaTim Posted 6 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 6 January, 2010 For what it's worth, I feel we have a way to go to be as good as that (mis-managed) side. However, with Kelv/BB, Dan, Lally, Hammer, Lambo, DC and a better coach we have a decent base to surpass that. Steady building, team belief and embracing Pardew's vision may get us one step further in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanguin Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 Pardew didn't stop Charlton getting relegated in 2006-7. I don't know how much of a comparison Charlton's relegation from the Premier League is, especially since they started the season with Alan Curbishley I believe. But I think their relegation from the Championship was primarily down to the failed takeover bid from the Arab billionnaires. They had already identified which players they wanted to replace when the bid fell through at the last minute. Then the team lost all commitment since half the players realised they weren't really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also take the Lambert of now over the Jones of then (how people forget) - the Jones since he left, and just before, well that's a different kettle of fish. On the other hand I'd take the Connolly of now over the Rasiak of now, but probably not over the Rasiak of then. I think that makes sense?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 7 January, 2010 Share Posted 7 January, 2010 I'd take either goalie now over either goalie then. Both have improved a lot since the playoff season. I'd also have Murty ahead of Wright or Ostlund. Other than that, out strongest XI three years ago is stronger is every other position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Brom paid £1m for him. Yes and did exactly what with him - hardly been a regular has he? Compare the £1m received for him with that shelled out for Lambert - the best bit of business (OK the two deals were unrelated, I know) since Davies went to Blackburn for Zillions and Beattie came the other way for half a crown.
