I thought Linighan's main problem was his immobility

He was the big lumbering Mertesacker to Butterworth's Koscielny.

He was better in the air than Watson though

        I think Newsome was better than Butterworth to be honest (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 27, 14:08:53

- I'd have several people ahead of Eadie (NCFC) - mr carra, Feb 27, 13:45:21
  - Can you even play Eadie and Hucks in the same team? one or the other surely. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 27, 13:54:30
    - I guess that would bring in Fox on the right... (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 27, 14:09:26
  - I think Bellars started out left wing didn't he ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 27, 13:46:14

- Martin O'Neill? McDougal? (n/m) (NCFC) - Goalmusic, Feb 27, 13:13:11
- Bowen is a weird one. He'd score 6 or 7 a season but (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Feb 27, 13:07:51
  - Who was a better left back though ? (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 27, 13:12:43
    - No. We're the worst at leftbacks. (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Feb 27, 13:13:57
- Holt for Roberts isn't even debatable (NCFC) - Brandonio, Feb 27, 13:02:52
  - I would agree. Although I would also suggest him for Sutton. Not that (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 27, 13:06:48

      - Yes I already said that. I would say Holt contributed much more, especially given the (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 27, 13:24:00
        
        I know you said that (NCFC) - norway, Feb 27, 13:30:04
        
        Yes...Sutton was booed the season before... (NCFC) - yellowman, Feb 27, 13:29:49
        
        He definitely wasn't booed at any point in his Norwich career (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Feb 27, 13:32:21
        
        I think he was..... (NCFC) - yellowman, Feb 27, 13:35:31
        
        He was a defender first for sure. Don't remember him getting booed though (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 27, 13:37:30
