Jan Vojáček Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Quite like the idea of this and, seen as it's my afternoon off, I've given it some right good thought. If all these players were at the best of their form with us then this squad would challenge at the right end of the Championship imo. I've included DT as a winger because, to be totally honest, we really haven't had that many who have been standout since the 2010-11 season. Goalkeepers Alan Martin Danny Rogers Defenders Paul McGinn Sam Wardrop Andy Graham Stuart Findlay Craig Barr Daniel Harvie Midfielders Chris Turner Scott Agnew Ross Forbes Jordan Kirkpatrick Jamie Lindsay Mark Gilhaney Dom Thomas Forwards Bryan Prunty Garry Fleming Jim Lister Chris Kane How would I line up that team? Alan Martin Paul McGinn Craig Barr Stuart Findlay Daniel Harvie Ross Forbes Chris Turner Scott Agnew Dom Thomas Jim Lister Chris Kane Go on then. Pick a team to beat that lot... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Rogers over Martin for me on the basis that Alan Martin is a big manchild. Aside from that it's hard to argue with much of the rest, but you've missed Andy Stirling from your squad and I don't think I'll ever forgive you for it. Stirling in for Forbes for me, if it was a team of the last 20 years then '08 Forbes would make the cut. Rogers McGinn -- Graham -- Findlay -- Harvie Thomas -- Turner -- Agnew -- Stirling Lister -- Kane I was tempted to start Fleming in place of Lister because he was a far better servant to us, but the year Jimmy played was just amazing to watch. EDIT - I may take pelters for this too, but for me Reghan Tumilty is better than Wardrop...

EDIT - I may take pelters for this too, but for me Reghan Tumilty is better than Wardrop... Yeah I can understand all those points. The goalkeeper situation was a real toss up, but Aldo gets in for single-handedly stopping us being relegated that season. I did think about Andy Stirling, and I like him a lot, but I need an end product from my wide players - and Forbes is that man. Especially whipping in balls to Jim Lister's big forehead. Stirling would absolutely enhance the overall looks and hair of the squad though. Fleming was absolutely a better longer term player for us, but prime Lister alongside prime Kane would just be perfect. Lister winning everything in the air and smashing folk around, Kane buzzing about scoring every time he touched the ball in the box I really only went with Wardrop because he performed for us in the league above and, imo, if he wasn't made out of polystyrene would be a regular for a Championship team. Wouldn't be against including Cammy Ballantyne either, but they are all irrelevant behind the Clydebank Cafu. We have really struggled at left-back over the last decade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never replaced Craig Brittain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I put Graham in without actually realising Jan had put Barr in there. Mango was great but Graham was the perfect captain for us so sneaks in ahead of Mango. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, Sam I actually included him the list I wrote down, and then totally forgot to put him in the squad. I'd struggle to drop either prime Agnew or Turner for him though tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Cant remember the year Neill Collins played for us may not have been in the timeframe (I do realise I'm probably about 10 years out) but he would be my 1st pick at CB. Outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron2000 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Prime Lister or Prime Nade at Dumbarton though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Prime Lister or Prime Nade at Dumbarton though? Big Jimmy for me. Even when we were awful that season the big man was rag dolling every defender he came up against and I absolutely loved watching him.That's not to take away from Nade who also made a huge impact. You could also argue that Nade done well against better teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarti pooh Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I think this is a great bit of engagement from the club. Got of us all talking and discussing. I always think the club could do a bit more to engage with fans but they've nailed this one here. Good job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of them are up against one of Jamie Ewings, Danny Rogers, Alan Martin or Stevie Grindlay. The mind boggles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons Fan Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The GK is a hard one. I remember the playoff at Arbroath where big shay stopped everything, making phenomenal save after phenomenal save and I still think that was one of the driving forces that got us up. Martin was great during his time here but became a numpty in the end. Rodgers, was a great young talent. Ewing made some important sub appearances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
