Compare and contrast that 2013 line-up with what we have now. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Bear in mind though:

* 29 Kuszczak - Rubbish keeper
* 03 Greer - Rubbish defender
* 14 Calderon - Ok midfielder, rubbish defender (LuaLua - 72' - Rubbish winger)
* 20 Upson - Great player
* 28 Bridge - Best left back (ever?)
* 04 Hammond - Rubbish midfielder
* 11 Orlandi - Knackered (Barnes - 64' - Not good enough for League One)
* 21 David Lopez - What exactly does he do?
* 26 Bridcutt - Too small
* 30 Buckley - Broken
* 19 Ulloa - Doesn't run enough

(According to some)

Although they were good at the time, that was/is a massively aging squad for the most part and I don't think many of them would contribute consistently anymore (Ulloa and Bridcutt aside). This is why we need to focus on integrating some younger players into the team and not giving them stick/selling them.

And the end result was that we found ourselves in exactly the same position that we are in now (and manageless), so nothing to slit your wrists over.
