Interesting looking at the two teams. Very different in terms of how they play and the individual talent, but we have Hurst and Pearson (Macca too)
Two teams, dedicated to the cause, passionate players and a feel good factor -well done Mr Hurst and credit to the club for achieving this after a year or so of turmoil.

I love both of these sides. Hopefully, 2022 is just as successful!

I’d argue the 2016 was a better falling side but the bench was sketchy, this time I think were balanced and the bench is effective…

2016 was the result of a few campaigns of smart recruiting and Paul establishing a side.

This year is a newly founded team, and I would say the quality is definitely there; it's an exciting prospect thinking how these team will develop!

I've got to agree, out bench this season is certainly going to be stronger, but I'd have that starting 2016 team in a heart beat


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Very similar in calibre and make up and I guess the amount of players who could play at a higher level.

Sooner or later on this thread someone will pick the best 11 but I’m not going to even try.

We got more points per game this season than we did in 2015/16.

A lot of romanticism about the 15/16 side (and rightly so because we went up) but I don't think it was a great team. Bogle was twice the player the season after in League 2 and the only time we strung results together was when Townsend was on loan.

We’re not allowed to mention that Amond was brilliant against the lesser teams in the division that season but did next to nothing against the better teams…

Goals against top 10 clubs : 3 (including 2 pens)
Goals against 11th to 20th clubs : 17 (0 pens)
Goals against relegated clubs : 11 (0 pens)

In a stronger league too.

The standard is higher this season than it was then, which is evidenced by us finishing 6th even though we averaged more PPG than in 2015/16.

Nolan is the one player I’d love to have from that 2016 side.  Otherwise, I think this year’s team is stronger.
