I would have macdonald in the team but I can't agree on this team not being better then that team. Evans carried us that year, as shown by what happened when he left. Sure some better individuals but nowhere near as good as a team. They bottled it, ain't no bottlers in this team.
What happened after he 'left' was more a psychological factor IMO which damaged us, demonstrated by the fact we were doing very well in the first eight games of that season which he missed. Any team in the world would probably have bottled it from that position.
My doubts on whether our current team would have gone up is based on the competition and level of that league which was much higher in 2012. Our defense would have been punished a lot more than it has this season for starters, but I don't insist on it really as its a counterfactual
