Was thinking about how many of the current crop make it into a ‘best 11’ of all the players we’ve had since we went down in 2011. Based solely on performances/contribution over that period, however you interpret that. Really asking how much value do you put in the higher quality of football over the last 18 months, compared to the shift certain individuals put in over the extended period of stagnation.

Something like this? Feel bad leaving Juke out, but it is what it is.

Allsop

Colin - Klarer - Morrison - Cochrane

Burke - Iwata - Jude - Maghoma

Stanno - Adams


9 man bench: Randolph, Caddis, Bielik, James, Paik, Bacuna, Gray, Donaldson, Juke

Most of this current squad have more ability than 99% of the players we’ve had since 2012, but I think you need to factor in the work players like Maghoma and Colin did just to keep us ticking over.

I've got question marks over Allsop, Colin and Maghoma there.

We've had better keepers than Allsop, definitely.

I struggled for the keeper, I’ll be honest.

Butland was raw, Camp was a meme.

I guess Sarkic or Myhill?

That’s the right answer. Can’t believe Randolph was suggested because he was bad for us but had a rubbish defence in front of him.

If you’re including the players that stayed I’d add in Fahey and Murphy.

Maybe Zigic depending on how many pints I’ve had.

Sarkic
Colin Klarer Curtis Davies David Murphy
Jude Fahey
(RW)Burke Che Adams(LW)
Juke Marlon King

Can I count Che left wing? If not I'll go with 1st stint Dimmy on the left

I’d go with:
Myhill
Laird. Klarer C Davies. Murphy
Burke Bellingham Fahey Gray
King Adams

Hopefully in time would replace Adams with Duksch, in a 10 type role, but too early to say for certain yet

Randolph was ok

Randolph got a move to a Premier League club where played nearly 30 games in two seasons after leaving us, so he really did do OK at Blues.
