Coventry Saint Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Inspired by my own ramblings on the St Mirren thread, what is the best XI/squad you can assemble based on your team's former players? Rules: They must have played at least one first team game for you. They must still be playing, and you're picking them on current age/form (ie if they're 42 and still playing in the juniors, you're getting the 42-year-old version). You've got to make an effort at picking them in their correct positions (sadly for St Mirren fans you can't pick 11 midfielders*). * Seriously, we have genuine class in the middle of the park, and f**k all else around the rest of the team. This will not be a balanced team. Edited August 17, 2021 by Coventry Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Can't think of another right back we've had that still plays other than Tait. Marv wasnt a left back with us, but think we was with Boro. Shame moult is crocked again. I usually miss an obvious one with these things.

Widge Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Assuming none of the current squad are available, I sense this might highlight how lucky we've been the last 10 years! A.McGregor D.McNamara--J.Shaughnessey--B.Easton--S.Tanser G.Edwards --M.Abeid--M.Butcher--N.Hasselbaink T.Watt--G.Melamed Ok, so having done this, it simply highlights to me that very few players leave saints and go on to do well. Also maybe highlights the fact that the current squad is very, very good and we're lucky to have them. Of the players in the team above the only ones who'd improve us are McGregor, Edwards and Abeid I'd say. The strikers are much of a muchness and the defence is pretty physically weak compared to what we've got now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Daniel Bachman SOD, Findlay, Del Fabro, Taylor Midfield is pretty hard: JJ……er…..Power, Kiltie. Can I take Burke please? Brophy, Lafferty, Would finish top 5 in the Premiership I reckon and would win the Championship if we had them for this season. That was pretty hard though for Kilmarnock and I’m sure I’ve missed some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptn Hooch Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) I'm assuming that current players are out of bounds as a few of them would be in otherwise. Matija Sarkic Declan Gallagher, Craig Halkett, Jon Guthrie, Julien Serrano Murray Davidson, Shaun Byrne, Andrew Halliday Leigh Griffiths, Lyndon Dykes, Robert Snodgrass Reckon that team could give most in this division a good run...top 6 for sure Edited August 17, 2021 by Cptn Hooch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Slim pickings for RB and LB... Stevie Hammell's retired which pretty much leaves the alternative choices as Joe Chalmers, Stephen Hendrie or Richard Tait. Tait gets RB ahead of amongst others Josh Law and Tom Hateley. The only alternative I'd have considered would be Chris Cadden but not only is he a snake, he's also barely kicked a ball since he left Fir Park. If his knees hadn't turned to Weetabix Moult would have been the obvious choice at centre forward but as it stands big Lukas is still kicking a baw in the Championship.
