I saw the club posted a video of Mousinho's goal against Torquay in the L2 playoff final (can't believe it's been 15 years!), and below it I noticed a comment talking about how good the attack was back then and how we didn't have to rely on our defence.

This got me wondering about our best team if we had to pick an entire unit from a specific season rather than individual players.

So pick one season for each of the following (and you can take into account rotation and depth):

Attack
Midfield
Defence
Goalkeeper(s)

To make things interesting, you can only pick a season once.

For me it goes:

Attack - 2010/11
Midfield - 2011/12
Defence - 2025/26
Goalkeeper(s) - 2009/10

Not sure I've quite got the hang of this but...

Attack - 1995-96
Midfield - 2025-26
Defence - 2009-10
Goalkeeper(s) - 2025-26

I can't see past our current midfield as being the most technically adept and talented we've ever had. We have options like Phoenix - it's just the system we play that perhaps doesn't showcase it to the fullest sometimes.

Anyway...

I feel like I need to "say whaa" on that? Byron Harrison and John Mousinho were joint top scorers in that 2010-11 season – scoring 8 apiece. Then you had Chris Holroyd and Mark Roberts on 6. And then it was Lawrie Wilson (5), Scott Laird and Darius Charles (4). Hardly prolific.

You've said that and now you've got me wanting to swap my attacking choice for the 2006/07 attack.

Luke Oliver
Steve Morison

And yes I know they were midfielders but I'm chucking in Mitchell Cole and Craig Dobson because they always struck me as naturally attacking players.

So yeah I'm changing to the 06/07 attack.

I've noticed you've picked the 25/26 season twice so you've got to switch out one 🤣
