Zero Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's easy saying that. Simpson is backing off and is on Lennon's left side. No point for Williamson to cover the same direction ah? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Simpson should have nailed him out wide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Simpson and Williamson are guilty of backing off on a weekly basis. Amount of goals they've cost us this season ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Simpson and Williamson are integral to the success our back four has. FWIW our defence is our strongest point. We have a lot of strength and depth. Left back is probably where we have least depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Colocho slating Williamson? Weird that like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm not slating him, just think he needs to stop backing off strikers and start stepping up into challenges/blocks. He's a decent defender, who's had some excellent performances this season. Would like to see us spend £7m+ on a CB in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well, if we do qualify for Europe, shed some of the deadwood, put the income of them and the saving of wages into the transfer budget why can't we sign a good CB in the summer, alongside a striker?

I said the other day what a shame it was Bassong left to warm the bench at Spurs. Him and Colo would've been a very good CB partnership. Add in Jose and that's 3 very good players in the back 4.

RupertCommunicator Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think spending 7m on a defender certainly wouldn't get us a better CB than Colo and probably wouldn't get anyone better than Williamson or Taylor. Would be a huge waste of money and would be the signal for Kadar to leave. In these days of financial hardship, where the club is carrying a lot of debt and making a loss, 7m on what is probably our strongest area is the sort of decision that gets clubs to where Portsmouth are now.

Colocho Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 We won't bring in a new CB in the summer. Handing Taylor and Williamson 5-year contracts were indicative of the fact we won't be signing a CB in the summer. I just have concerns about them two as a pairing if Colo were to get injured.

RupertCommunicator Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think a Taylor/Williamson partnership is a perfectly acceptable second choice pair. It's when Colo AND Williamson were injured. Kadar isn't yet ready and Campbell is pure shite. I think eventually we will need a quality second CB to pair with Colo, but not until we have a quality new striker, a good all round CM, a RW who can cross, and a backup LB. We aren't as rich as we used to be! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thought he had another very good game yesterday. Another "Campbell" type one year deal for next season as cover to the 3 senior CBs and the kid should be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made a number of mistakes in his conduct while running the club, but the vast majority of players we've signed in the last 2 years have been worthwhile.
