Best team we've played

[Simster]

Well after this weekend, we'll have played every team once. So in your opinion, who is the best team we've played?

Of course Forest are top, but I remember some of the fans who went to that game (in which we took the lead) saying that we'll be OK if that is the best this league can offer.

We also lost narrowly at Bristol City - but they didn't really convince either apparently.

Yeovil (beat us comfortably), Tranmere (beat us at WITHERS, despite us being bang in form) and last Saturday against Oldham (battered us in the first half and would have beaten us on most days by the sound of it) are surely all right up there.

Personally, I think the top two will be occupied by at least one team not made up of Bristol City, Forest and Scunny. Oldham and Tranmere might be a good bet...

Crewe
Blackpool

Two teams that made us look like a sunday league team

Good call Wookie. Funny how since that 3-0 home defeat, Blackpool's season (and ours) have both taken off. Before kick-off in that game, they were in the bottom 4 and we were nearly left in the bottom 4 after the result.

As for Crewe, well they seem to have slipped back since that 4-1 - the game that showed McGhee had finally lost it. I think we'll beat them up there.

I have only been to the home games (minus Swansea )

Best team so far were Crewe. NIcky Maynard ran us ragged and the whole team looked like they could challenge Forest for the title. I would have cared, had I not got a stinking hangover from the cricket and a permanent cheshire cat type grin.

Liverpool in the cup, 90/91.

Barnes, Rush, McMahon et al.

Incredible that we took them to a replay.

crewe killed us, but would not do the same now we have a more structured line up.....we can beat anyone in this league on our game !!, Forest looked good when 2-1 up, good playewrs keeping the ball but coxy could have even scored late on that day

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Yeovil. Ran rings around us. Be interesting to see the difference on Boxing day.

And reigning champions but yeah, shit.

 

[crodonilson]

Tranmere

Agreed, we were playing well at the time but they looked a league apart.

 

[gwpdylan]

only seen Cheltenham and cany see them winning league but from little ive seen on telly and reports etc i think an outsider could be blackpool, with tranmere/oldaham/forest main players

 

[Icy Gull]

Didn't go but it sounded as though Carlisle ran us ragged on the radio

 

[butchy]

Carlisle made us look like a pub team

I would say Tranmere, I still don't know how they hung on in the last 20 minutes.

The Blackpool & Crewe games were because we were shyte on the day.

 

[Silent Bob]

I didn't think Blackpool or Crewe were anything special, we were just abject. The movement of Crewe's two strikers was impressive though, even if the finishing left a little to be desired (and Maynard still got two ).

I've not been that impressed with any of them really, Forest you can see why they're top, they'll just grind out results, but didn't seem an amazing side. Although that was without Tyson.
