He was awful at LB. Truly awful.

 

Yet he was part of the most frugal back four we've had for donkeys years start of last season, but aye, you're right :rolleyes:

 

Back fours are often better than the sum of their parts.

 

He's better defender than Santon currently is.

 

The likes of him and Perch are average players maximising what they've got, any squad needs some of them.

Taylor told the Chronicle today: “I’ve always said my position is at right-back.

 

“I’ve played there a lot of the time throughout my career and for the England Under-21s.

 

“That’s where I see myself, but if one day the gaffer turned round and asked me to do a job in a different position, I’d be happy to do that.

Aye, best defensive unit we've had performance wise, that I can recall, and yet the LB was shite defensively, laughable.

 

He was ffs :lol:

From what I remember he was absolutely fine until the Chelsea game

 

Was that before or after QPR away? SWP tore him to shreds.

The results, when he was playing, would strongly suggest you are wrong (or clueless).

 

So one of the back four, who performed better than any other back four we've had for ages, was shite, yet the aforesaid back four remains one of the tightest we've had for years.

 

I'll take a shite fullback (by your yardstick) playing in a team not shipping goals any day of the week over owt else, seriously what else can be a meaningfull measure.

 

You must really hate Santon I reckon.

Agree with this and the above comment.

But Taylor is like Shola. He gets criticism ALL the time from the majority, with short memories and a desire to fit in with the ones doing the calling

I think Santon is good, and will become top class in a few years.

Colo was the main reason our defence looked so good. That and Steven Taylor's good form, up until his injury. Even Williamson looked alright. Simpson saved us quite a few times as well.  + Krul.

 

How highly do you rate Simpson?
