Might get my wish.

They're central defenders, man. If they can't do 90 minutes there's something seriously wrong.

Taylor has a lot more ability; quicker, stronger, better in the air and far more of a threat in the opposing box - as are most. Williamson has shown a tad more consistency.

On the plus side, we have two decent athletes with lots of experience to come in. Could be worse. Could be Carroll, or Tiote.

Yeah, because an accumulation of fouls against a certain player gets you a ban.

Nolan's was almost as bad, tbh.

3 matches then? That's a hell of a blow for the lad. He'll struggle to get back into the team.

Course he has, he's a very good player. Seems to have put the injury problems behind him, too.

Thank god this didn't happen a month back.

Brilliant.

What would you prefer, Blackpool again?

What on earth do you know about Emre?

You can't play the chance card with Taylor, man. He's had plenty of chances. And has usually ended up on the bench because of his inability to learn.

Coloccini and Tiote have had one bad game each recently. The rest have played to their potential.

Central defenders should rough people up. Just not as obviously as on sat.

How is that an interesting comment?

Because this isn't cloud fucking cuckoo land?

Proper garbage, perhaps. Yet most of them have been prefered over Taylor at one point or another. In fact, when you look at everyone who's managed us in Taylor's time, how many have had faith to start the lad regularly when there's been other options?

Of course he was. Then again, he had 5 seasons to look consistent in the PL - and didn't.

His mistakes outweigh his few good performances. Ridiculous. Have you even seen any games this season? But we didnt spend much money for him, so he must be rubbish & getting "found out" at this level obviously. Where as Colo's just been unfortunate at times, but his class will show through. Cos peeps makes predecided opinions on things & likes to sway back towards them whenever possible. You're one to talk about people getting swayed by price tags. You've been against Coloccini from the start. Including last season, when you laughably had a go at him after a performance in he was just about the biggest reason we won the game away to Sheff Utd.

I can't remember Taylor making many (if any) mistakes on the scale of those committed by Colo and Williamson in the last fortnight. Did you take a season off from supporting us last season? Taylor was outstanding before his injury. Taylor's made plenty of errors far worse than Williamson and Coloccini. If it's a question of consistency alone, Taylor's the worst CB out of the four of them.

I didn't say he was a liability, I said he was OK. I have absolutely no problem with him getting a 5 year contract - providing he's on a relatively low wage.

But there's no harm in extending his contract? It's not like we pledge to start him every game till 2016 What are you talking about? I didn't mention his contract.

I think he's OK, never said owt less. But I think we can do better.

Yes, but individual errors are individual errors.
