Bear in mind I can just about remember the games from 10 seasons ago as I was quite young so may be a little bias towards the more recent players.
Here's mine...
Robbo
Ogogo Arbur Goodwin McCrory
Vincelot Gain Sam.Saunders
Benno Gayle Mackail-Smith
Bench - Strevens, Danny Green, Nurse, Currie, Griffiths, Doe, Akinde
As mentioned, I have little recollection of years ago but this is what I Can remember. Probably forgot someone. Anyone else wanna do a side?
Btw - stein was superb but was before the timeframe I put down otherwise he would have b day now in first XI.
Best daggers XI of last 10 seasons.

5. Lee Matthews
6. Tim Cole
7. Mark Janney
8. Ian Richardson
9, Paul Cavell

I am guessing when he put M Smith he meant Mackail Smith, unless he was playing Mark Smith up top rather than centre half!! Manny I am not sure, but maybe he meant Magnus??
Last 10 years I would go:
Robbo
Abs
Scotty G
Arbs
Doey
Green
Vincelot
Gainy
Nurse
Benson
CMS
Subs (will go with 5, who knows how many subs you can have these days):
Magnus
Thurgood
Gayle
Josh Scott
Lewi (we have not had many keepers!!!)
All time I would go:
Robbo
Abs
Matthews
Doey
Vickers
Janney
Vincelot
Terry
Broom
Cavell
CMS
Subs:
Gothard
Heffer
Cole
Stein
Shipp
Quite hard when you think about it!!! I think I probably sub-conciously go for people who played for a long time as well, not sure.
Also hard to judge era on era. Shame the 2000-2003 side never got to play in League (obviously) as it would be interesting to them compare them to the players who have played since 2007.

I'd have the same team as Mark, but with Arber for Wilkinson.
I'd probably have CMS for Gayle, only because he did more over a longer period for us, although overall Gayle probably is a better player.
It pretty much has to be a 4-4-2 when that's the formation most of those played in as well.

Note I put in a fit Mark Arber.You could swap around any of my subs for players in the 1st team.Not an easy thing to pick not even for me.Always enjoyed watching all this lot on their good days.

I didn't read the full list of rules for this thread but if I have contravened them then just shove Danny green or John Nurse in for Ritchie and add Luke Howell to the squad.Chigwellian wrote:Not sure you can count Ritchie as he was never our playerARNU wrote:Robbo

Robbo
Abu, Doey, Arber, Griffiths
Greeny, Gain, Romain, Ritchie
Benno, Gayle.
Subs: Cousins, CMS, Wilko, Thurgood, Saunders, Okuanghae, Strevens (The good incarnation).
Just looking at that 4-4-2 is beautiful. Imagine if we had any combination of Green/Saunders/Ritchie again, how great that would be. We could potentially have that now if we just went for a basic 4-4-2 system at home, just with different players obviously. Think that back five is the initial back five from our promotion campaign before Griffiths upped sticks to Peterborough.
Also, another sub-question - do you think we had a better squad in the 08/09 season or the 09/10 season? I know we won promotion in the '10 year but I've heard a few answers to it over the years.
