Linkedarm wall Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Tammy is playing the role of Akinbiyi = 20 goals a season........ Engvall is Soren Anderson........ foreign striker first year in Championship with no experience (Anderson played a lot more , granted) Tomlin is Tony Thorpe...... small , talented scores goal, we don't seem to know what to do with him! Seem to remember '99/99 season having million pounds worth of strikers at our disposal and losing a lot, sound familiar?! ....got relegated that season i think, anyway have a good week everyone!

Barrs Court Red Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It would be interesting to play that side with the current one - Both had weaknesses in similar areas, although the centre backs now are far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 You see I'd say there was more of a comparison to 12/13 than 98/99. A good start with new signings giving us hope and then fading away without a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Soren Anderson actually looked better than Akinbiyi, he was a full Danish international. He scored a fair few for us and reckon he would've scored more had Ward not been sacked, thereafter Benny persisted with Akinbiyi and Anderson didn't get much of a look in. Cannot compare Anderson to Engvall. Plus Thorpe was signed without Ward's approval whereas Tomlin was actively sought by our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterrimes Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The problem with 98/99 was all the money was spent on forwards and the defence was woefully lacking. Money needed to be spent on defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the commentary when Anderson scored to on his debut which I think was against Oxford? “A bit of Danish sizzle!

Bris Red Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 And fo0k me it took us another 8 years to get back to this level after that relegation. Lets not hope lightning is striking twice shall we?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
