Best team ever how many games played?
Interesting article on the beeb today about the legendary teams, who in fact, never or rarely played together.
For me our best ever team, not individuals, but first XI was the 90/91 below Martyn Humphrey Shaw Gray Young Thorn Salako Thomas Wright Bright McGoldrick But how many games did that eleven start? Pardew and Barber occasionally played as did Gary Thompson and Glyn Hodges.

Had a look through the history books. That eleven started 18 times together in total 11 league games, 3 cup games in 90/91 plus 4 league games in 91/92 |

A key reason for the success of that team was the continuity. Would be interested in how many games that 1-10 played together - it was generally only the No.11 that changed (Pardew and Barber had a few appearances)

Cheers CH. How many games did they win out of those 18 out of interest?

The team of 78/79 would have beaten that for sure. A number of the players played in 39, 40 or 41 of the games. Most played over 30.
