In a one off game With the respective managers in charge of their teams Definitely 14/15 for me LJ would spend weeks on intricate tactical plans for his side SC would get a performance out of his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityCiderEd Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 1-0 would be enough for the 14/15 side, the 18/19 side would struggle to get one on target......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 18/19 with 4-4-1-1 has the better players, 14/15 with 3-5-2 has the better strikers and the more attacking intent. 18/19 would have 65% of the possession and 2 shots, both off target. 14/15 would have 35% of the possession and about 10 shots on target. In summary 14/15 would get a smash and grab win by 1 or 2 goals and largely against the run of play (conducted mainly on the halfway line) and Cotterill would tell someone in the crowd to **** off. Worst case the match would probably end 0-0 and Lee Johnson would declare it a resounding success and insist 18/19 have got their identity back.

reddogkev Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Steve Cotteril is my third all time favourite City manager, so I'd expect his team to beat LJ's team, at least 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Cotts won the league one and football league trophies with a squad made up entirely of British and Irish players. Without trying to come across as gamon, has bringing in foreign players been a bad thing for the club and should we try and avoid it in future?

Aaron-Bcfc Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 At this point in 15-16 we’d just been smashed 3-0 on a grim day at Rotherham so I’d say current side wins. Think people in this thread are forgetting that we were crap that season (worse than we are now) and it was Johnson who ultimately came in, got some huge results and kept us up.

I’d take Maenpaa for FF, Fammy for Aaron (wasn’t really up to Championship), Webster for Ayling (just) and Pato for Freeman (form aside Pato is the better player imo). Funny how people see it different. I’d have Flint, Joe and Kodjia back in a heartbeat though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Cotterill and feel he was let down in the summer but we really were poor that season, until Pemberton steadied the ship and Johnson improved us.
