Heron Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Marvelous today, world class defending despite it being against Sunday League opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 a lesson in giving players time to settle. Would be a fair enough comment if we were in the Premiership. Absolutely correct. We've had loads of poor players (centre halves particularly) who would stroll through a season in the Championship. Played well today mind. He cost us more than some of the clubs in this division are worth, at the very least i'd expect a MOtM performance by Christmas (which he should have got and was very unlucky not too) He probably earns more in a week than some 1st team squads get between them as well. It's got nothing to do with lessons learned or about giving players time to settle (to say so is highly embarrassing) but more to do with the quality he's up against. Done a great job today, looked like a third of what we paid for him considering who he was playing against; but that for me is his highest value since joining, keep up that level and in reality we've only lost out on half we've paid for him and could be worth sticking with next season. There may be a Premiership defender in him yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Coloccini might be over-priced but he's not one of the players who'll struggle in the Premier for me, the defence as a whole looks ok, Taylor has improved a lot as well. I've seen some rotten defenders here, I think people are getting a bit complacent when they start turning their noses up at what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Usually I'd agree TT but he can't help his wage. If someone offered me 50k a week I'd fucking take it. As a fan we should judge all players equally imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I hate to go in this thread, as I imagine it mostly looks like this: But Colo was excellent today. Still can't hope to match Saylor for hand technique, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan we should judge all players equally imo. That's not the point I'm making, the point is the gulf or supposed gulf in class. Argentine International defender who we paid £10m for and is on £60kpw+ has one outstanding game in 18 months against an average CCC team and some clueless specials start spouting shite that its about giving him time to settle in and we need to learn our lesson.

Jayson Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Its balancing up what you take from improvements in confidence over last season & this league being easier for the defenders in general. Taylor/colo forming an understanding will have helped, at any level. Just have to hope next season their confidence keeps high, because those teams will take more of the chances we give them. But i reckon we'll do better than last season at the back anyway. May be that Bassong for as good as he was, was getting in the way of a good partnership forming.

Fuking special some mongs on this place. I didn't say anything about settling in you fucking mong. One outstanding game? He's been pretty solid all season man, as shown by the amount of clean sheets. To me that's a gulf in class from the rest of the division. It's a different matter when you step up to the premiership though, aye. Clueless tart, fuck off.
