By the way, the the question had been “better” then I’d be tempted to day

Yes anyway. Not relatively because back then we were in the top three in the country. But too football teams are better now than they were then. Fitter, more advanced technique coaching, more prepared, sports science involved etc.

So while I don’t think this team has a chance of matching the achievements of walker’s side, nor even stringer’s side, I think if you could borrow a time machine and allow them to play against each other the current team would s**t on either of those teams.
