Gyokeres and Muniz up front

We've had a few dream pairings
Clough / Peacock
Big John/ O'Rourke ..... Horsefield
Big John/ Foggon
Bernie/ Archie
Hendrie/Wilko
I'm sure l've missed a few
JFH/Viduka
Then the pairings and the goals seemed to evaporate

It went t!ts up when we signed the likes of Mido, Aliadiere, (Project) Emnes, Alves, Boyd, Killen and Miller ... I wont include Tuncay, McDonald and Lita as they put in a shift

Wilko and Bernie wasnt a bad partnership too but they had Ripley and Hendrie supplying the chances (91/92 is one of my favourite seasons following the Boro)

You could argue Beck/Merson before the goals dried up and Branco/Riccard/Armstrong were brought in to get us over the line plus we had Higgy regularly scoring too

Did Ripley and Hendrie both play in the same team? Weren't they both right wingers? How did that work. My memory of Hendrie is that he played on the wing for us until Robson moved him up front. But I was a kid then and can't really remember.

Watch the 91/92 season review, they regularly switched wings

Hendrie wore the no.10 Ripley no.11

1990/91 replace Wilko with Ian Baird

Killen put a shift in, played centre half and cost pretty much nothing compared to those other names. Very harsh.
 
Kitson scored 3 in 6, killen 3 in 17 but as you say it doesnt mean he didnt try

Didnt we also have marlon king the season we went down?

EDIT killen's record elsewhere wasnt too bad

I remember Marlon King scoring against Hull after super George Boateng slipped.
Pretty sure that's the only thing he ever did for the 😂
 
We started last season at Fulham with Ikpeazu and Watmore and Coburn on the bench. Late in August Sporar came in.

Call me an optimist but I still think we will be stronger in August and September in the forward department.
