Poco Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 With the club website/twitter account running a 'Greatest XI' vote during the last week or so, I wondered about what a fan-chosen worst XI would look like. These would be my pools to pick from. What do you think? Goalkeepers: Rab Douglas Kevin Pressman Ricardo Ron-Robert Zieler Right backs: Michael Lamey John Curtis Luis Hernandez Peter Canero Left backs: Ryan McGivern Alan Rogers Jordan Stewart Centre backs: Moreno Matt Mills Martin Keown Jacob Laursen Brian Carey Steve Howey Gary Coatsworth Wingers: Josh Low Rachid Ghezzal Keith Gillespie Momo Sylla Zsolt Lzacko Ahmed Musa Centre midfield: Junior Lewis Andy Johnson Dennis Wise Mark Blake Strikers: Ade Akinbiyi Trevor Benjamin Elvis Hammond Marko Futacs Jermaine Beckford
StanSP Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Luis Hernandez was a centre back wasn't he? Don't think Ghezzal or Musa should be there, let's face it. They may not have been great but nowhere near as inadequate and inept as others in that list. Bear in mind those others played in lower divisions!
Aus Fox Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Some very harsh choices in there, didn’t Gillespie win POTY while here? Also Hernandez, Benjamin, Musa, Coatsworth, we’ve had far worse than all of these! Junior Lewis is a shoe in for captain though.
Aus Fox Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 For me Kalac would be in goal and there’d be a place for Elvis Hammond and Mark De Vries.
NewquayFox Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Zieler Curtis Keown Howey Rogers Ghezzal Johnson Wise Low Akinbiyi Futacs Manager Frank McLintock
sdb Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Who was that blonde defender we had on loan about 12 years ago? He has to start! And during the Levine/Holloway days we seemed to get a new flop every week. Could easily pick a team of shite from those days alone!
dmayne7 Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Probably better described as most disappointing XI. Can't really have many premier League players in there. Wouldn't have Jordan Stewart anywhere near any worst XI
boots60 Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 You have that pretty much nailed on though a tad unfair on Jordan Stewart & Keith Gillespie who would be in the "average/ok" catagory. This will free up slots for Ben Chilwell & Demarai Gray who are far more deserving of a place in the squad. Michael Johnson is also in need of inclusion. 4-4-2 Ricardo Curtis Mills Keown Rogers Ghezzal Lewis (Michael) Johnson Wise Akinbiyi Hammond
Fox92 Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 These threads bring up names that don't deserve to be in there. We probably couldn't make a "worst XI". Hammond, Gillespie, Benjamin, Stewart.... these don't deserve to be anywhere near the likes of Wise and Josh Low. They may not be as good as what we have now but at that time they gave their all. Stewart was brilliant for us in 02/03 when we went up. Josh Low, on the other hand, remains the worse player I've ever seen here.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Ricardo in goal for sure. Never has a goalkeeper been less suited to the English second division.

TheUltimateWinner Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Roman Bednar was pretty shite for us, worse than Futacs and Beckford in my opinion
Ted Maul Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 No worst XI would be complete without Joe Hammill. As others have pointed out, there are a few names there who shouldn't be anywhere near this conversation, particularly Jordan Stewart.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Kalac has to be in there surely? How could he be omitted!!
Gazza M Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Pressman Kaebi Moreno Worley Clapham Bori Jarrett Lewis Hamill Hammond Futacs
Aus Fox Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Goalkeeper Nominations: Kalac Douglas Pressman Surely has to be one of those, the other suggestions Ricardo and Zieler etc you’d take over Douglas, Pressman and Kalac any day of the week.
Corky Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Pressman is the worst keeper, summed up the policy of signing every available over-35 player without much thought or consideration.

Andy Lonerghan says it all! Good keeper for Shef Wed, but by the time we got him it was like having a wheelie bin in goal!

Hernandez was a centre back who could play right back when we signed him, and if I remember correctly he mainly played right back.

Sorry quoted the wrong person @Gazza M You only have to look what happened to all of those players after their time with us haha, all careers nosedived. Moreno was probably the most successful
