How many from the current crop would get into the 2019 playoff-winning side

in General Charlton
If we're going off best XI, Edwards gets in over Purrington, and either of TC, Leaburn or Godden get in over Parker pretty comfortably.  Difficult to say because of different systems but I'd also make a case for Jones over Sarr.

Be interesting to see what others think

    Coventry over Pratley

    One striker (preferably a fit Aneke) in for Parker...that's it. 

    Jones is pretty good but he's right-footed, whilst left-footed Sarr provided balance and could open the game up with superb cross-field balls or accurate passing out to and, crucially, in front of his left-back. 

    Hopefully in a few months time, I'll think differently. Ramsay has the potential to get in ahead of Dijksteel but he's got to show some consistency of fitness followed by form.

    Agree with the above, plus Small over Dijksteel

    I agree with Edwards over Purrington for sure, and I think Leaburn or Godden could easily be in over Parker given the current form

    Ooo difficult one...

    Phillips: Yeah definitely over Mannion or Maynard-Brewer
    Dijksteel: I'd have Ramsay instead
    Bauer: Again... cant drop him for obvious reasons
    Sarr: Difficult one, as he had such a poor game, maybe Jones instead?
    Purrington: Another difficult one as he scored... I prefer Edwards or Small, yet they wouldnt be there for the equaliser.
    Bielik: Easy decision on that one
    Cullen: Easy decision on that one
    Pratley: He's still doing it now for Leyton Orient, his experience was vital
    Aribo: Easy decision on that one
    Parker: He offered so much more than goals, but I'd have Campbell in his current form, or Godden instead
    Taylor: Easy decision... Sadly lol!

    Substitutes
    Pearce: Would he need to replace Jones as per the above? - But another Pratley type individual who helped so much
    Williams: He changed the game in our favour, winning so many free-kicks

    Are we doing this just based on the Final? Or for the campaign?

    I think it would just have to be for the Final, or Play-Offs at most.

    If you included the whole campaign then obviously more of our current squad would get in ahead of Marshall, Reeves, Lapslie who themselves played around 20-games across the entire season.

    There were a few green shoots I observed last night that Coventry and Docherty are slowly becoming our Bielik and Cullen.
    Just need to find an Aribo!

    We had a lot of good players in that playoff side. Pratley, Purrington and Parker are the only three I'd replace.

    It's amazing that Pratley is still going. 40 in April so this may be his last season.

    Funny how people still dig Purrington out to this very day! Was a brilliant signing that season!

    Was a very steady left back for League One no doubt

    He was a very good signing, but Edwards is better.

    Fitness worries or not, Ramsey is already much better than dijksteel ever was. Would 100% slot in there over him, every single day of the week. 

    Forget the championship, Ramsey has the potential for me to play lower half of the premier league.

    Depends on the formation and does Karlan Grant count?

    Until we sold Grant to Huddersfield, that was our best strike pairing with Taylor since we left the prem imo. I'd only say Yann and BWP might have been better. 

    Bauer and Lloydy best centre backs since we have left the Prem, I'd also include Lockyer and Morrison, but Lockyer was in the champ and Morro was a different season. 

    I'd say Ramsay replaces Solly (that version) or Dijksteel as a right back. I'd have Small or Edwards over Purrington. 

    Jones paired with Bauer over Pearce or Sarr.

    Midfield pretty much picks itself, only debate is Coventry for Pratley, I'd have Coventry personally. I think he'd have really suited that diamond and offers a bit more than Pratley. Bit more composed and a step or two ahead. Not that I didn't like Pratley, just prefer Coventry. I can't forget Pratleys goal that kept us in the play-offs, but I also can't forget him chasing shadows. Haven't really seen that from Coventry yet. 

    I wouldn't have any of our current forward over the Lyle that played for us or Karlan Grant until January. If we are talking Parker, I'd have any of Godden, TC or Leaburn. I didn't rate Parker at all and think any decent striker could have done his job.

    It shows even after page 2 has been reached that our current team is a mere shadow of the 2019 team

    If we kept that team, we would have easily, and i really do believe easily stayed up.

    We just didn't replace adequately and the whole Lyle fiasco killed us.

    We got promoted and somehow went from Lyle, Karlan and Vetokele, to Bonne, Davison and Hemed? Shocking.

    Imagine had we kept that 3 of Bielik, Aribo and Cullen, and had Gallagher on loan. That would have been arguably a top6 midfield.

    Found a proper striker partner for Lyle, kept Bauer and had him with Lockyer.

    Instead this was the reality: 



    We done well to take it to the final day.

    We had a better team in league 1, our current team is genuinely better.

    If the squad was

    Phillips, AMB

    Dijksteel, Bielik, Bauer, Sarr, Pearce, Purrington, Small, Ramsay, Edwards, Mitchell, Jones, Gillesphey

    Cullen, Aribo, Pratley, Coventry, Docherty, Berry, Williams

    Taylor, Parker, TC, Leaburn, Godden

    What starting XI and formation would we choose

                                  532

                               Phillips
    Ramsay Bauer Jones Lockyer Small 
                       Cullen Coventry
                                 Aribo
                         Leaburn Taylor

    I think that team would be competitive in the championship potentially.

    None of them. It was six years ago.  They'd probably all be too young.

    We also had Jed Steer for the first part of that season who was a quality keeper

    What's easily forgotten is that squad was rated more highly as the season went on. Players like Bielik and Aribo became more consistent, Aribo also started to add more goals to his game. We're seeing signs of it with this squad, players like TC and Small are starting to change opinions.

    I feel like there is some strong recency bias in this thread!

    I was going to say this. Watching Small and TC develop game by game is fantastic. 

    If Small works on his finishing, he's going to be some player. I hope we get to witness it and not some other club.

    I know his gone but Taylor and May up front would have tasty

    Anyone changing their minds about our current crop of players?

    Can you make a case for Ramsay over Dijksteel, Jones over Bauer, Gillesphey over Sarr, Edwards over Purrington?

    What about Coventry over Pratley? TC or Godden over Parker?

    AMB over Phillips even?
