Yes - but not under Poyet.
Ha. Yes. I'll rephrase that then. Elphick wasn't part of the defence that got us to 10th in the Championship.

Elphick never played for us in the Championship, did he?
Bennett Murray Noone Barnes and Bridcutt would all have improved the team that started against derby.
Now imagine a hybrid of that team, and the players we signed...
Koosh
Bruno - Greer - Upson - Bridge
Bennett - Bridcutt - Vicente - Noone
Ulloa - Murray
Now... THAT'S A TEAM.
Bench of Dunk, Calderon, Buckley, Stephens, LuaLua, CMS...

Noone wouldn't have.
Can't understand all this affection for Craig Noone.
He had a great debut (27 crosses I believe) and one or two good games after that.
But he never set the field alight.
Very like Kaz, in the way he could beat his full back, then send the cross nowhere bloody near the centre forward.
One of the biggest losses from that team was Bennett who had a frightening amount of assists that season. Imagine him on the wing delivering crosses to Ulloa. Something we have not replaced since and struggled with goals as a result
Agreed. The difference between the league 1 winning team and the current team is a lack of a playmaker in which we had in Bennett. Didn't he already reach 20 assists by January?
Would love to have him and Murray back.
