2019 vs 2004 (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:19:52
- Zimbo over Malky........ (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, May 2, 22:11:38
- The only one of 2004 I’d say is better is Huckerby. (NCFC) - APB, May 2, 18:26:33
  - Not sure how anyone could say Krul had a better season than Green (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 18:38:17
    - I was going to put maybe Green and then forgot. (NCFC) - APB, May 2, 18:44:43
  - I dunno, you'd have to fancy Huckerby in Onel's position (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 2, 18:31:38

  - Malky wasn't even allowed to play in the PL for us in 2004 (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, May 2, 17:45:00
    - We dropped the wrong one. I never got the Fleming love. (NCFC) - APB, May 2, 18:47:06

        Worthy didn't think he was (NCFC) - mr carra, May 2, 15:51:34
    - Yeah. Gary was a hero amongst men, but as a footballer, he was, in the end, (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 2, 15:47:50
      - Agree with all that. And Paul McSmall had much better decision making and end product than (NCFC) - Old Git, May 2, 15:49:32

        Hernandez 8 league goals - McVeigh 5 (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:58:42
        
        McVeigh wasn't even a certain starter was he? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 2, 16:31:22
        
        36 starts - Hernandez on 34 (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 16:33:49
        
        told you (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 2, 16:41:27

        Think that's a bit harsh (NCFC) - camcan, May 2, 16:05:15
        
        Anal’s first touch is sublime. Watch. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, May 2, 18:24:35
        
        Seems to work for Sheffield United tho (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 16:35:54
- Problem is the style of play (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 2, 15:38:22
  - Farke would probably have sold Hucks (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:40:55
- And son is Godfrey vs Flem. Ben and Zimbo fit our current style (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, May 2, 15:26:30
- Zimbo is an upgrade on Malky (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, May 2, 15:25:42
  - That central defence was granite (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:27:58
    - Fleming couldn’t sprint, Malky couldn’t turn and neither of them could play it out (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, May 2, 15:47:57
      - And still conceded just 39 goals (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:53:08
      - Not convinced Malky could have hacked it in the top flight... (NCFC) - mr carra, May 2, 15:50:35
        
        when he eventually played in the Prem with Watford i think he did pretty well? (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, May 2, 16:05:29
        
        And 2005 wasn’t the dark ages of football (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 16:10:52
        
        agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 2, 16:32:00
        
        He could hack anything that came within 6 feet of him! (NCFC) - Old Git, May 2, 15:52:47
    - Championship generally isn't as "lump it" as it was back then (NCFC) - mr carra, May 2, 15:35:38
    - True. But their CB prowess doesn’t work as well in our new system (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, May 2, 15:31:13
- Lots of controversial judgments there (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, May 2, 15:25:22
