40 goal midfield

The thread about the best player this Millenium git me thinking. Do you ever think that we will see a midfield post 40 goals between them again like Brown (22), Tonge (8) and Ndlovu (10) did in 2002-3. The more I think about it the more amazing it is.
And we still didn't go up. Not sure how

The thing I loved about that team was how any of those three could receive the ball, turn and run at the opposition. Peschisolido would do the same.

That and the number of late goals we would score. If we needed one, you felt confident rather than hopeful it would follow.

It was an exciting team, the togetherness of them matched the Wilder 1.0 team.
 
ndlovu and tonge played wide as part of a front 3 that season - but doesn’t detract from the fact the amount of goals and assists between them shits all over this team

Almost certain they were the wide players in a midfield four because we then had two strikers up front (rotating between Asaba, Chief, Pesky, Kabba and Windass)
 
That's less than a goal a game. Stick someone on pens and stretch the arbitrary decision on who is a "midfielder", then maybe. And would probably result in the OP making a thread about how our "forwards" are being completely unproductive and will we ever have a 25 goal striker again

With McCall doing the defensive work for all the of them. It was a very exciting team that one.

Interesting. So you have extrapolated that this thread was a dig at our current midfield (it wasn’t). You are also somehow arguing that I have created an imaginative midfield out of apparent forwards (Ndlovu is surely only one of the four you can have any claim to not being a midfielder but he was most definitely playing wide right in midfield that year). Oh and good point, when will we have a 25 goal striker again?

We could do with peak Frank Lampard im the team, even Frank Lampard senior would improve our goals output!

It was more a general point of how some people here are obsessed with trying to determine formations, categorise players as being linked to one and only one position, rather than recognising it is a team sport and that if we win 1-0 on Saturday it counts the same regardless of whether the scorer was Burrows, Hamer, Campbell or deflected in off the keeper's arse. Frankly I don't remember too much of the season you reference, and I don't care. This sort of thing should have been dead with the Dutch teams from a few years before I was born, but I guess not
 
At least Warnock didnt shank 20 million quid on shit strikers

Given the large num ber of strikers we had, who made no impression whatsoever (Mooney, Hales, Horsefield, Ten Shovels, Onoura, Dyer, Ward, Johnston, Furlong, Sturridge etc), do you seriously think he wouldn't have spunked £20m, given the chance?

Nice wilder dig though.
 
Old Panickbuyi! Had more clubs than Rik Waller

Topical!

And we still didn't go up. Not sure how

1. We conceded more goals than any other team in the top six (probably because our midfield was busy scoring goals rather than covering the defence).
2. Our strikers weren't exactly prolific that season.
3. Much as it hurts to say it, Wolves were probably a better team that us. Although we finished four points above them, their goal difference was +37, compared with +20 for us.

Didn't we end up playing about 60 games that season, too?

That and the obvious fact that we didn't go up because it was the play-offs and this is Sheffield United.

Wow doesn't half make you realise how much the game has changed since then! No way that team would have been able to come back as many times with the time wasting these days.
