Hopefully Redknapp has put a large wager on us at sky high odds with his Bermudan bookie and will play his under 16 team.

Oh lord.

Enrique's out? Yep hamstring. That's an onion in the ointment thats an awful saying that like Dino

Enrique's out? allegedly.

One thing that I think was underrated about the Hughton regime for the most part was the lack of injuries we picked up.

Could do with not getting totally humped if we get beat since our GD is currently ok and is what is keeping us above a lot of teams.

There was a decent youtube vid/song someone had made about the hoardes of shit that had played for Cov

Good job we have no strength in depth to replace these key men.

More likely to be off in the summer if Wolves gan doon

Can't see Etherington leaving Stoke like. Arguably their best player and he finally seems settled and working on his demons.

Downing would cost a lot of money and would have little resale value that would be higher so no chance IMO.

Hitting the age of peakdom doesn't result in all turds being polished. Using that logic, Shola should be playing like Drogba at the moment. After all, he's in the "peak" of his career. The main problem with Taylor is that he hasn't improved in the slightest since breaking into the first team. It doesn't matter if he's 20 or 30, the fact that he's been at the club for yonks and still hasn't mastered the basics of defending is pretty worrying, especially since people on here slate our other defenders within one or two games of them signing for the club, without any really basis for doing so. Defensive alarm bells: Out of position constantly? Check. Blames others for his mistakes? Check. Complete lack of composure when in the eighteen yard box? Check. Unable to command a defensive line? Check. Completely one footed? Check. Lack of pace? Check. Failure to understand the offside trap? Check. Exactly my problem with him.

Spot on.

That the day you go down to cash your giro?

Bet you were the peacemaker at school when the weird kid was getting bullied. touche.

Age is immaterial, Williamson has had little to no exposure of playing at the top level against the best strikers in the game unlike Taylor. Hence he can improve by learning to adapt his game by learning against these better players. Taylor is still the same hands out pointing to others to cover him whilst he stands in the wrong position defender he was when he first broke in to the team. I;d be flabbergasted if Taylors wages werent substantially bigger than Mike's.

Give the poor lad a break man FFS.

Indeed. Looked far better toward the end of the game IMO.

Same as Williamson. But Williamson won't be on big wages and might actually improve unlike this tosser.

5 and a half years? FFS.

That'll be because he is fucking shite. Awful game that was like in terms of quality.

substitutes and the coaching staff i think.
