  1. How am I sticking the boot into him? I'm telling it like it is and he's not ready for championship football. I'm not saying he's s**** and i'm not saying he'll never be up to it. I forgave Bramble because he was our best defender for 3 out of 4 games. You said he wasn't ready to play again for a year! Give him a chance alongside Taylor or Colo, for instance, and I'm sure he'd turn in a better performance. Too soon to write players off like that when we are so short in numbers, tbh. When did I write him off? I said he wasn't ready yet. Even Hughton seems to know that given Danny Simpson has up until today been ahead him in the CB pecking order.
  2. and Colo too. I know Coloccini is a good defender though. Kadar got anihilated by Tresor Kandal a couple of months back man.

    We'll probably add at least 10% to possession, which usually helps. And we'll stop looking so vulnerable to concede and unlikely to score.

    The long ball nonsense has to stop, it's a baffling style to use given the players we have at our disposal and the experience the defenders in this league will have playing against that style.
  6. Harewood laid into him, even made a gesture with ball in his hands. Harper couldn't stop shaking his head either.
  7. Their goal came from him booting it up the line instead of kicking it into touch, no?

    You mean the game where we would have been 1-0 up at ht had guthrie not missed against a side who's scored 12 in the last 3 games. What strikeforce would be better than Carroll/Ranger at this point? it would have been 1-1 I'm sick and tired of playing long ball football, it kills us, puts us on the back foot against teams we could easily outplay. Time for Lovenkrands to get a go in a footballing side imo.
  9. Did very well... apart from 2 balls across our own 18. and the goal. But who gives a fuck about that?

    If Ranger and Carroll play together (and I hope they don't) there needs to be an element of clairity over who's going to do the donkey work and who's going to sit and wait for the break forward. Against QPR in particular the pair of them looked clueless as to who should be doing what and as a result they tbh just scrapped for every ball, giving us as much cutting edge as a wet sponge.

    which means we're relying on Nolan to score yet again

    brought a lot of pace and overall did well very well
  13. If we're judging players based on the last 3 or 4 performances then all but 3 of our players are of League one or lower standard.

  15. Very true. Worse than anything i've heard since Barton's substitution against Forrest in 97.
  16. You could put two solid midfielders on Lampard and he'd still run the show with ease. Easily the closest thing to Zidane in the world right now.
  17. We need Taylor and Coloccini back badly. Had the penalty gone in and we'd been beaten 2-1 I think the attitude towards them would be slightly different.
  18. When you start winning it might.
  19. As bad as each other, i'm just amazed that Zurab has played premiership football.
  20. Luckliy both were f***ed by 3pm thanks to Villa. Well played
  21. oh sorry, because he's young and it was his first game i'll change my mind completely. Gave away the goal and not ready yet. Who would you have played there instead? It wasn't the selection I was being critical of. But you said "not ready yet". Is that not being critical of selection. No, because we have nobody else. Like everyone else i'm praying for the return of the two best defenders in the championship because their replacements are beyond horrific. Indeed. But considering injuries are part and parcel of the game we had no-one else to play there. how many have you had love? Leave it alone. Sadly we had to play him and it nearly caught us out. Lets hope it doesn't have to happen again for a few seasons.
  22. either you've got a crystal ball or have the wrong thread mate
