... following on from the other thread ....
Based only on (all) their Premiership performances for us - no matter if they were great in Div 1/Championship, cup matches etc.
How about:
Ilic
Barness, El Khalej, Tiler,Traore
Newton, Redfearn, Murphy, CBW
Jeffers, Cole
Subs: Petterson, Bothroyd, JFH, Konchesky-the-left-back-not-the central-midfielder, Mustoe/Pouso
Manager: Les Reed (sorry Les)
PS Murphy had about 8 good games for us in a season-and-a-half of toss even though the whole team was built around the prima donna

Pretty much think this is right. But I'd have Salako instead of Newton. Campbell-Ryce (bless) on the other wing. CBW in the middle for Murphy and JJ/Superkev up front, in a mad striking disasterzone.

Newton played a few games in our first season in the EPL but I think was sold after promotion from Div One.
Worst Prem players have to include Jeffers and Cole up front, no argument from anyone surely?
Did Petterson ever play in the Premiership for us? I think he'd moved on by then?
The only goalkeepers I remember are Ilic, Joyce, Kiely from the first couple of seasons.
Yes he did.
So how about:
Ilic
Spector, El Khalej, Tiler,Traore
Blomqvist, Redfearn, CBW, Salako
Jeffers, Cole
Subs: Petterson, Bothroyd, JFH, Barness, Murphy
Manager: Les Reed
PS Petterson half a game when Ilic got any talent knocked out of him at Stamford Bridge and played the next game I think .... and at the end of the season Royce knackered his knee in a game at the Valley and Petterson came on at half time and played the last couple of games.
Spector has to be included for the absolute 'mare he had against Man City when we lost 5-2 at home and Sinclair made a complete mug of him.
Ilic was a liability after his Stamford Bridge injury, had he been dropped months before he was, we could well have stayed up. Assuming Royce and not Petterson would've played that is. Salmon never actually played in the Prem did he??
Yes I meant Blomquist, my cranial hard drive crashed!! If you are sure he didn't play in the Prem then he can't be included.
Petterson was far far worse
Did Salmon play in the Prem? Actually we really had a goal-keeping weakness during the first Prem season. Illic rose from nowhere the previous season but although he was a good shot stopper his positional play was week. Petterson was worse. He must be because I think he's had about ten or so different clubs and never stayed long at any. Royce was inexperienced but was probably the best of the three but he was injured most of the time. Or maybe our best keeper that first Prem season was Steve Brown....:-)
Much as I hate the miserable big time Charlie scouse pr*ck, I can't see how he qualifies because he did put in some decent performances. In that case you might as well put in Denis in the last minute Rommedahl.........stands back and waits for torrent of abuse.:-)
I do understand the point you are making but he did have some good performances whereas the others mentioned were bad all the time. That's the point I'm making. Why not go for Mustoe instead of the Scouser?
Mustoe filled a gap for a few games, not great by any means, but not so terrible.
Petterson HE PLAYED IN THE 4-3 VILLA GAME AND WAS SENT OFF

By the way you have to consider all of a player's Prem games for us, so there is no way you are having Feesh in there - he was a hero.
As for Barney, you are right in saying that he was nervous in his Prem days with us, the reason being that he knew he was on a knife edge with Curbs and it was always 60/40 against him to be picked for the next game in his view.
