MOST EXPERIENCED LINEUPS

This is page trying to show the most experienced side we have put out, based on how many games each player in the lineup has played for us. I'm taking the lineup for each game and adding up how many games each player has played for us up to the game in question.

It's split into two sections - the full lineup (including subs) and then just the starting XI.


FULL LINEUP, INCLUDING SUBS
The most experienced time in our history was 1996-97 which is when all the top 10 games in this list were all played. It also didn't seem to help us too much...we lost three of these games, including top game at home to Coventry City, despite having an average of 234 games per player!
