To stop the playground spat and get back on topic, here’s a typical lineup from 1974/75 when we finished bottom of the pile. It was a 7-0 thrashing away at Mansfield!
Norris
Peacock
Simpkin
Atkin
Oates
Collier
Money
Sproates
Pilling
Roberts
Charnley
We also had the likes of Geoff Barnard, Angus Davidson, Nolan Keeley, Peter Markham and Neil Warnock on the books.
I reckon there’s a couple of similarities between it and today’s squad. Is Rory Watson the new Mike Norris? Is Alex Gilliead the new Dickie Dosh? Is Ryan Loft the new Derek Charnley?
The defence didn’t look too bad, but to let seven in!
Anyway this isn’t the wort team in our history. Swann said it wasn’t so that must be right.
