Snowblind 1,711 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Alright my fellow doyles! I'm up for running another 'Greatest' poll after the 'Greatest Squad' one seemed to be enjoyed. Next question is - what do you want it on? A few options that've been bandied about or I've though of: Greatest Squad - Pre-1995 Edition @BillyWoofs_shinpad I think it was put this one forward. There's a handful of squad numbers from the 70s/80s, so it could work, though could also be position based. Worst Squad - Boro Edition Think it was @Liquid who suggested this one. Again, could be squad number or position based. Greatest Concept Kit - Boro Edition Saw a site this morning which gave me this idea - also picked up from the kit vote the club ran on Twitter earlier in lockdown. Could run it like a Knock-Out Tournament with Home and Away on either side to come up with the Greatest Concept Kit pairing as voted by OneBoro fans. If you have any further ideas, feel free to drop them here. We can have a vote on the final selection. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I think worst squad would bring plenty of discussion (and humour). Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 100% go with the worst squad, should be hilarious Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Best opposition 11 (possibly prem era) although that could be too big a selection Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,776 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Given our history of transfers, it has to be the worst squad. I could see that being a lot of fun (even if it forces us to relive some painful memories). Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I'd prefer to have a greatest squad thread. We haven't had a lot of positive things to discuss on this forum for a few years now and a worst squad thread isn't going to lighten the misery very much! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I dunno, I think we've had a lot of fun discussion about some of the worst players to play for us on here. Regardless of what's happened this season, I don't think many of this current squad fit into the bracket of 'worst in 25 years' so it's not likely to descend into just firing off the current batch of players. I guess perhaps the most popular contributions on here would be Bola, Browne and Gestede. But two of them are very young and I think there's still hope for improvement, particularly in Browne's case. And Gestede is not one of the worst players I've seen play for us, simply one of the worst signings when you consider the fee, wage and point at which he was signed. If he'd have come in on a free and was on a wage more respective of his ability, I don't think many here would have had half as much a problem with him. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The current team is the worst one I’ve seen since the mid 80’s, it’s not about individuals, it’s about the team as s whole. I think we’ve got a terrible manager and a team that plays awful football and very rarely wins. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I mean, the idea of making a worst squad poll is not based on picking literally the worst performing squad out of any season. It's absolutely about individuals, just like the greatest one was. 😄 Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I understand the concept, but I’d rather vote on an all time great team. Link to post Share on other sites
jmsguzzi 40 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I'd go for the worst squad and do it by squad numbers again, could be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
