TeaCider24 12,398 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Seeing as the club themselves have opened a poll on it, I'll give my 11. Randolph Friend Ayala Gibson Nsue Leadbitter Robson Traore Adomah Ramirez Bamford Would give my left nut for that team now. I'm going off performances whilst here in the last decade, nothing else, so I'm not including players based on how good they were elsewhere in their career. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Was Nsue actually good...? I have a lot of great memories from that season but can't remember too many standout performances from him. Or is he just the only half-competent right back we've had in the last decade?

If I had to pick again I’d probably put Negredo in over Bamford but the rest would stay the same. Link to post Share on other sites

Considering he wasn't actually a right back, I thought he did well playing there. He didn't last long at Birmingham after us though.

How have I not seen that 😂😂 Gets team of the decade for that skill alone! I wonder if anyone made a compilation of Barragan's foul throws...

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Nsue and Adomah had a good partnership down the right for a while. Still, I definitely understand reservations about putting him in team of the decade. Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,777 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Great OP! Keeper: Much as I loved Dimi's heroics in the promotion season, Randolph is the best keeper we've had since Arnie. LB: George. Best £100,000 the club ever spent. CB: Ben Gibson and (even though I give him plenty of grief on here) Ayala made a formidable partnership. RB: Nsue. Midfield: I loved Leadbitter in his pomp as a CDM, Traore was scintillating on his day and Adomah was always reliable for a good cross. Also liked Barry Robson, proof that not all Scottish players are s**t even though it felt like it under Strachan. ACM: Gaston has to be in any squad of the decade. His goal against Bournemouth is my favourite Boro goal of all time. If he'd worn a chastity belt, I doubt we'd have been relegated that season. Striker: Can I be controversial and say Kike? Limited player, I know, but my God he tried, and his face when he equalised against Man City was probably the second most joyous moment of the decade (behind the final whistle at Brighton, obvs).

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Kike was one of those signings that felt like something we ultimately got right. He fit what we wanted to do, he wasn't an out and out goalscorer and you wouldn't bet on him to score in any game, really. He scored enough and I think particularly when you look back at the Brighton away game in the promotion season, we saw aspects of what made him a very special player in this division. I couldn't put him in ahead of Bamford, Negredo or Stuani even but I think anyone could be justified for putting him in a team of the decade. Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P 300 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Gk - Randolph RB - Fredericks CB - Ayala/Gibson LB - Friend CDM - Leadbitter/Robson RW - Traore LW - Adomah CAM - Gaston CF - Bamford Didn't include the premier league season same as CT. Link to post Share on other sites
