Your First 11 of all players since relegation

Post by HalifaxWhite »

Had a great idea.

If you could pick an 11 of all the players we've had in their best form since our relegation who would you pick?

------------------Schmeichel------------------------
--Ayling------Bartley----Jansson-------Taylor---
---------------------Phillips--------------------------
-----------Howson----------Klich-------------------
--Pablo--------------------------------Snodgrass---
---------------------Wood----------------------------

There we have it, interesting as there are only 3 from our current team in this.

I really struggled with Wood vs Beckford vs Becchio vs McCormack to be honest but I think as he is the only one to prove himself in the PL Wood is the standout choice.

This team would dominate the championship right now.

What would your team be?

Probably go with your team Halifax White but with Cook instead of Klich

Beckford could be an idle git at times and not sure MB would allow it - Who would be the manager of this team MB or SG

Without thinking about it in detail, lots of players to consider but I would definately include Gary Kelly, Paddy Kisnorbo, Aaron Lennon and Eirik Baake along with some of those listed.
I would possibly go for Sullivan in goal, Kasper was good here but thought his main improvement was after he left.
Two others that are at least equal to those mentioned so possibly would include would be Max Gradel and Eddie Lewis.

Harsh on Hernandez but gradels pace and goal threat stole the day.

One name, to my opinion, deserve to be in the team. Sam Byram!

Second one is SG instead MB! Maybe I am bit harsh in my opinion, but I am disappointed, very disappointed! Expected more, much more!

Pretty much this too.

Yes, that is a strong team. Whilst is harsh on Pablo we've got creativity from the left with Snodgrass. I remember when we played Spurs at home in the Cup replay they doubled up on Snodgrass, he was that good.

Only question would be up front. Becchio would fit our current style of play better but Chris Wood is a much better finisher, as he is showing at Burnley.

Marcelo Bielsa as manager. I know Larry did very well for us and should be a legend for getting us out of League 1 but with that first 11 I would love to see what MB would do with it. Given what the miracles he has performed with our current squad...

After further thought based my earlier post -

Sullivan
Kelly - Bartley - Kisnorbo - Lewis
Phillips
Baake - Delph
Lennon - Wood - Snodgrass
