    Think it would be a shorter list if you said which ones you wouldnt want back to be fair. Most of the ones I have seen over the years would walk straight into our current back 4 - though there are a few exceptions ( wiseman Kennedy el Haimour etc)

    Bobby Hassell, John Stones, Mason Holgate, Alfie Mawson. If we class RB/LB, Trippier played in one of those if I'm right?

    Great shout, he was excellent throughout our promotion season. I think him and Ian Banks (plus Alan Little a bit less accurately and Dominic Werling a lot less accurately) struck the ball harder than anyone else I've seen over the years.

    There are few that we've had that wouldn't be an improvement on this lot.

    Paul Cross was blighted by injuries, but a brilliant full back. We could do with a player like him.

    Did you ever see the Paul McGugan warm up with his thunderous shooting? And his 37 yard daisy cutter, think it was against Leicester (3-0 I think)
