JH Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hats off to him for recent performances. Not the best player in the world and seriously lacks the pace needed to compete at this level, but he's given us some proper width in our last couple of games which has proven quite vital. When Jonas returns, I'd be tempted to play Geremi Smith Guthrie Jonas for alot of home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Always thought he was better than some of our other midfielders in any case. Not that it's saying much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Libertine Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 if we can play to his strengths he still has a fair bit to offer with ameobi, carroll and ranger and taylor to aim at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 He did well and I was pleasantly surprised to see him on the teamsheet before the game. Like Nolan, there's no way he should play two games a week mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Aside from a bizarre upturn in his set pieces, i don't think he offered very much today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Aside from a bizarre upturn in his set pieces, i don't think he offered very much today. Agreed, his crossing from open play hit the keeper every time with alarming accuracy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Aside from a bizarre upturn in his set pieces, i don't think he offered very much today. still got an assist so not bad, he is very capable of delivering a cross in and with our strikers mostly being big men thats useful to have. Main problem with him is he has about as much pace as the average glacier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say i particularly rate either of them, but i'd rather Taylor - aye, if only for the fact his legs aren't forty years old (well, i suppose it's forty-two now, isn't it...) I'd have Guthrie there tbh. And Lovelyhands down the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 By the way, Ryan Taylor had an excellent game at right back today after coming on, I think Coloccini was probably man of the match followed by him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are particularly good deliverers of the ball but i thought he was dangerous at points today. He's a striker, absolutely, but whilst Jonas is out - i wouldn't look past Guthrie and Lovenkrands as the wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Geremi is a half decent player he just hasn't got the legs anymore which isn't his fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Lovenkrands cannot do anything with the ball deep. Guthrie on the other hand can and LM should be his for now. Geremi should keep the RM spot until Jonas returns and Guthrie switches sides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Aye no legs anymore, but he can cross a ball its what we need but only as a sub I say, we need more pace outwide starting games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 If we're putting Geremi down one wing then we're gonna need a bit of speed down the other. I like Guthrie a hell of a lot, but when he's on the left he has to cut back and it wastes a lot of time - it happened on a couple of occassions today. It just slows us down.

Ronaldo Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Until Jonas comes back we wont have any pace on the wings no matter what we do. Lovenkrands is quick off the mark but slow with the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the Smith incident tbh The Smith one was very early on. It led to their lad having a shot he sent straight at Harper. A simple "no" would have sufficed re Enrique.

Jayson Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 End of last season he was woeful...this season so far only thing of note was a goal against huddersfield. The other game he played against leicester he had a fairly average/bad game and looked off the pace to me. Didnt look like creating anything, messed up a few passes. Today sounds like hes put in a decent corner. Hed be decent cover if he could sort his passing out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 People are far too quick to point the finger at Coloccini. I had so many arugments with stupid bastards behind at the game I have a sore neck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
