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

    - 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

        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

        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
