That team was much underrated back then and over time it’s collective efforts have been overshadowed by Stan’s achievements.

I’m not even convinced that MGW is our best number ten right now but he is nowhere near the player Lars wars. He could do and see things that no one else could.

Absolutely spot on.

I'm loving life this season, but let's talk when/if the current squad achieve top 4 and last 8 of a major European trophy. 

Potentially, some areas of the current side could be stronger in the future, but currently no way. 

Sels better than Norman????  I'll have what you're having please.

Systems were so loose back then, players just used to play. It's hard to merge the two groups although I find it hard to leave Brian Roy out.

I admit there's probably some recency bias with my team selection - especially around MGW vs. Bohinen who really was a tremendous player.

And yes I do remember a few ricks from Crossley which is why I went with Sels.

It's just nice to be able to discuss a current team doing well and a past team who gave me probably my most enjoyable season as a Forest fan.

1  Crossley
5  Chettle
4  Cooper
2  Lyttle
3  Pearce
9  Bohinen
7  Phillips
11  Stone
17  Black
22  Roy
10  Collymore

Crossley Pearce Cooper, Stone Bohinen Roy Collymore all incredibly talented. Possibly Stone not yet at his best that year. Would find it hard not to include the other 6.

How about we pick some players from exactly 20 years ago 2004/5
Here is the team that got stuffed 6-0 by Ipswich that year. Want to include any in your team?

Nottm Forest: Gerrard, Curtis, Melville, Morgan, Doig, Rogers (Perch 59), Friio, Powell (Evans 56), Commons, Dobie (Harris 56), Taylor.
Subs Not Used: Doyle, Thompson

Different times eh? There is a young defender called Wesley in there though.

I wonder if you took the period between Frank Clark getting sacked and Steve Cooper getting appointed whether you could come up with many players that would get into either the 94/95 or 24/24 teams?
