Ultimate bees 5-a-side team

[Wayne]

Mine is:

Szczesny
Hreidarrson
Hurlock
Eriksen
Holdsworth

No place for Bob Taylor my favourite ever bee. Never saw Stan Bowles so I had to leave him out. I reckon Tony Folan would be brilliant at 5-a-side!

 

[wokinghambee]

Raya
Norgaard
Tabb
Higginson
Forster

World beaters

 

[busheybee]

Raya
Henry
Eriksen
Bowles
Benrhama

 

[gbems92]

No benrahma

 

[nocoat]

Bayes
Beadle
Jones

the first three names on any Bees team sheet

 

[w7 bee]

Saw Stan play for us at London 5 asides, he stole the show that night.

 

[BeeHomeSoon]

Stuart Nelson??? That's surely been put on there for a pisstake

 

[Indian Bee]

Benstead, Hermann, Hurlock, Sinton and Forster. Pace skill and aggression. Benstead better stop stopper than Raya IMO.

Whilst I tend to respect most opinions you cannot seriously believe that last sentence or you've got some huge nostalgia glasses on.

Benstead played the vast majority of his career in the lower leagues.
David Raya is a Spanish international, who will be in with a chance of starting in the next world cup, he makes goalkeeping look so simple and is an incredible shot stopper.

5-a-side keeping is completely different from 11-a-side. It's all about shot stopping.

I know, I played in goal for donkeys years.

Agility and reaction time is a massive part of goalkeeping in small sided games...

Benstead is still not on the same planet as Raya in all aspects of ability

 

[nocoat]

Dearden for keeper he can just lie down and cover 95%of the goal

 

[Billy Hunt]

Raya
Norgaard
Sawyers
Eriksen
Maupay

 

[JANORAK]

Szczesny
Pinnock
Nørgaard
Bowles
Hogan.

Purely chosen with 5-a-side in mind. Prime Bee time Hogan would’ve been devastating inside the boards.

I respectfully respect your opinion that my opinion is crap

Raya has played the vast majority of his career in the lower leagues (PL and below). Raya is the best keeper I have seen play for us but this is 5 a side and I have a hunch that Benstead could be a better choice

But dean gaffney has got bensteads gloves !!!!

With the standard and number of internationals in the Championship over recent years, wouldnt exactly call that lower leagues

 

[BlueJayBee]

He won the Player of the Tournament award.

 

[horshambees]

Raya,
Henry,
Bowles,
Eriksen,
Hogan.

 

[sonofabee]

Czesney, Ivar, Bowles, Hurlock and Benrahma.

 

[Brentford St George]

Alan Judge and Jay Tabb would make any of mine. Ideal five a side players , technical , intelligent , goal scorers and endless energy . Both would win countless free kicks and fouls as well.

 

[frankiemac]

Raya, Henry, Eriksen, Bowes, Phillips....

 

[GlasgowBee]

The one and only, kamara, bowles, eriksen, benrahma

 

[Cobbett]

Alan Judge and Jay Tabb would make any of mine. Ideal five a side players , technical , intelligent , goal scorers and endless energy . Both would win countless free kicks and fouls as well.

Tabby - that's a great shout.

I'm also surprised that Jensen hasn't had a mention. Not an 11-a-side crowd favourite, I know, but I think he'd be a fabulous 5-a-side player.

 

[Chipshop Bee]

Bentley
Mccormack
Woods
Judge
Maupay

 

[BFC1997]

I’m going with:

Szczesney

He might do for me!

 

[nick logan]

Mccullogh
Westley
Hutchinson
Bowen
Reina

 

[SydneySwansBee]

For anyone who hasn't seen Sir Stanley in a Brentford shirt there's footage of him in the London Five a Sides on youtube. Here is just part three of the coverage

I have a feeling this is the only TV coverage of Stan playing for Brentford.
He would have to be in any Bees 5 a side team and I would vote Fred Ryecraft in goal for similar reasons to Nocoat's Dearden selection.

 

[LboroBee]

Tarkowski? no one would get round him in a 5 a side cage

 

[tivadvir]

Tarkowski? no one would get round him in a 5 a side cage

Did his ears get even bigger??

 

[Paul O'Brien]

No Ingimarsson?
Then it will have to be
Szczesny
Millen
Bowles
Hunt
Wissa

 

[Hullbee]

He might do for me!

No offence the story I heard was he was pretty adamant about playing out field

 

[sonofabee]

Szczesny
Millen
Bowles
Hunt
Wissa

I had Ivar in my team

 

[Paul O'Brien]

I had Ivar in my team

Good man (you, and him).

 

[CBGB]

Any 3 + Francis and Towers

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Raya, Henry, Norgaard, Eriksen, Benrahma

 

[MB BEE]

The first name I thought of when I saw the thread title was without doubt Bowles ... brought back memories of watching the Evening standard competition.
so i go with ...
Raya
Rico
Kamara
Bowles
Benrahma

(Jota & Judge on bench)

 

[Wayne]

No offence the story I heard was he was pretty adamant about playing out field

None taken, i don't think this will ever come to fruition!

 

[Beecareful]

I don't see Higginson or Hurlock in a five a side team.

Need to be quick, mobile players on the ground.

Raya
Hreideson
Kamara
Bowles
Benrahma

sub Mansley

 

[Untouchable]

Tony Craig
Any 4 forwards.

 

[Mr Cynical]

They were great fun! Remember that one, Stan was absolute class.
