Remember all the names apart from Paul Mardon. Fleming was spectacularly bad if I remember rightly? :lol:

That team was truly awful. I know we aren't exactly pulling up any trees now, but I'd say we've got players of better pedigree in our current side.
I might take Chopsy - but he was coming to the end of his effectiveness as an attacking threat back then anyway.

Wayne O'Sullivan is no better than Karl Duguid?.
Adam Barrett, a stalwart L1 captain, regular scorer and PFA X1 for the last decade is no better than calamity N'Gala or can't mark for toffee Johnson?.
Paul Macgregor is no better than this seasons preferred first pick Rory Patterson?.
It's all a matter of opinion I guess but mine happens to be that I certainly don't believe as a squad we're a country mile better than we were 10 years ago. We've not dropped to league 2 (yet?) but it's not as if the comparison is as ridiculous as it looked 2-3 years ago is it. I worry that with what we've got we have more 'Cheltenhams', more 'Brentfords' to come, and i'm dreading December the 11th!.
