However I'll bet you anything that...

a team consisting of a goalkeeper and 10 Darel Russell's (and I don't even think Russell is that good) would wipe the floor with a team consisting of a goalkeeper and 10 Darren Huckerbys.

Which of course is the point of the quote. You simply couldn't get away with three - maybe not even two - Huckerbys in a team, so you don't need as many of those type of players)

        In a good enough side I'm sure he could manage it. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 28, 11:37:38
        
        and in a shit side Huckerby can't (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 28, 11:39:14
        
        Russel didn't improve said shit side either. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 28, 11:40:33
        
        Neither did Earnshaw (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, May 28, 11:45:28

        find out how many games we lost 2005/06, the famous near the play off season (NCFC) - pants, May 28, 11:54:46
        
        we were never actually near the play-offs however we finished 13 points short (NCFC) - phrankin, May 28, 11:57:09
        
        a bit like this season then (NCFC) - pants, May 28, 11:58:52
        
        and Huckerby has been a common factor in the last 4 season of failure (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 28, 11:48:03
        
        very true, hasnt he managed a couple of player of the seasons in that time too. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 28, 11:50:08
        
        with the Doc winning another one and Russell only missing out this season (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 28, 11:52:14
        
        I thought Russell missed out cos he didnt deserve it (NCFC) - phrankin, May 28, 11:53:18
        
        Russell came 2nd (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 28, 11:58:45
        
        What that we need a balanced side (NCFC) - phrankin, May 28, 11:39:54
        
        so you don't have a point then? (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 28, 11:41:57
