Great times I agree but -

2 solid centre backs?
We conceded more winning the 2nd tear in 1990 (Wilkos 2nd) than we did last season.
Early signs this season is that we have improved further, the current rate is significantly better, promising I would say.
Actually your probably right about the centre backs was thinking more of when whyte came along. That said fairclough was absolutely class in Div 2 and actually haddock who had been garbage briefly looked decent.

Regardless I feel the major difference is not only did we have the best manager in the division we had the best team of players, with 5 or so being top half of Div 1 quality. We were head and shoulders he best side in the division. Whilst we may have the best manager and team, I don’t think our playing staff man for man is possibly as good as the likes of Fulham and WBA. Added to that this side might not have the same mental fortitude and Wilko was more pragmatic - he was prepared to win ugly, we could mix it with the best.

We will see this side is certainly a joy to watch, I just set pieces will be ur downfall, as highlighted with the goals against Forest & Swansea.
Peter Haddock was NEVER garbage! 8-)

What Billy the fish quality, next you will be telling me jasper (Kevin Hird) should have played for England :lolno: :D

In fairness from memory he had a period prior to injury where he came on leaps and bounds.

LUSC Player of the Year (1988 I think) hardly suggests he was garbage. Billy Bremner rated him highly enough and Wilko too ;)

I know - I couldn't do it then and I don't plan on doing it now, especially since I can spend 90 minutes watching the best of promotion.

Do you need to pay for Amazon Prime to watch these documentaries? I haven’t seen the 18/19 season as I don’t have Amazon Prime.

You can set up for a trial, remember to cancel though.
