I reckon the back four will be:
Heneghan Hughes Horan McGinn
Surprised that Ryan Astles isn’t even a sub. Have people genuinely forgotten him?

More a formality than anything... George is in.

7 subs and goalkeeper revealed... I suppose Danby was selected over Glennon for no other reason that he was here longer. No way was he a better GK than Glennon. |

Danby had nothing to do as we were smashing teams every week.
Should be Liam Roberts, with Aaron Chapman second.

Which is probably why he’s been selected as a centre back.
Heneghan and McGinn it’ll be.

Danby was the only keeper we had in the decade for any length of time, apart from Worsnop who had an awful second season. Some people don't seem to like him for whatever reason, but no other option really.
Don't get the whole Glennon obsession. Solid enough keeper for what, ten games maybe? Dropped a clanger against us for Halifax not long after leaving us.

Our best two keepers in terms of performances have definitely been the two youngsters we had on loan in my above post. |

Probably fair that Danby gets the vote really. Although I'd pick Liam Roberts as the best we had in that time. |

These sort of things are rightly about nostalgia and context of where we playing at the time rather than the best players, Big George, Iain Howard, Alex Brown,Ash Williams are rightly legends at this club but were all found out from a Footballing perspective at higher levels as shown by the rest of their career. If you were a scout for a League 1 Club with no affiliation to the Club of course you would take Roberts and Chapman who were semi Successful in Step 1 of National League rather than a player who hasn't excelled higher than Step 4 like Alex Brown. |

In such regard, I’m waiting for the selections of Sarcevic and McConville. |

You could just as easily say Wilde wouldn't have scored as many if he was playing in a team that didn't create so many chances. |

This team of the decade lost all credibility as soon as Danby was named keeper. He was hopeless! |

By that logic our front two should be Matty Taylor and Oli McBurnie. I’ve picked mine based on who performed best for us during their time with us and the keeper would be Liam Roberts (clean sheet/unbeaten run under McCarthy at our highest ever level whilst Danby twiddled his thumbs as we were battering teams 5-0 every week) but it seems that the McCarthy years have probably been erased from people’s memories. Understandable I suppose. |

I am surprised nobody has mentioned Gareth Roberts although we only had him for a year. and also late in his career. I don't think I've seen a defender put more effort and skill into his game. There was not many lost causes when he was chasing a player with the ball

As expected - Heneghan and McGinn make up the back four.

Sarcevic and McConville are the two centre mids. Pleasantly surprised at the inclusion of the latter who wasn’t really appreciated by most supporters until after he left. Once it was announced that Alex Brown only made the bench I genuinely had no clue who would partner Sarcevic in centre mid, assumed it’d end up being Gary Roberts.

Always liked McConville. He got dogs abuse at Stockport in the Cup and shoved it right back in their faces. You will always get players who aren't popular because they don't get "stuck in" but if they deliver in other ways there's always room for someone like McConville who scored a lot of goals for his position. Re the keeper, It has to be Danby. Considering the number of games he played there weren't too many howlers. I liked Chapman when he was here..seem to recall he saved a few penalties but you can't really select anyone in a team of decade when they only played a handful of games on loan.

Agree with the earlier shout of Gareth Roberts, very steady left back and often forgotten about. We've had a few good left backs though with McGinn in a league of his own and Taylor now coming through.
I'll take a stab at the remaining four to be Mahon, Howard, Wilde & Asante? The manner of Rooney's departure will probably lose him votes.

Am I the only person who admits to just not rating McConville and nearly falling off my chair when Accrington offered us a fee for him? |
