silph Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Why do so many people suggest Saylor at RB? I find him rather poor at RB and he will be better off in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm sticking with Colo and Taylor but basically I'd throw Colo in MF before Smith/Butt and bring Williamson in. Don't wanna drop Williamson but see no reason to change from what we've done most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Colo and Big Mickey W. Saylor should play RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Why do so many people suggest Saylor at RB? I find him rather poor at RB and he will be better off in the middle. Thought he played there a lot for the U21's. That might have been just a right sided CB in a back three though, my memory is hazy. He's also filled in well there for us when called upon.

toontownman Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He (saylor) has always been suprisingly effective coming forward at rb imo. i think it limits alot of his pressured rash challenges and decisions. if we go up we will bring in another cb so the argument is maybe for another day. saylor, williamson, colo, enrique would be stable in the prem, what we have in reserve not so much.

James Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Would want the best back four possible really, and I think Williamson is a lot better centre back than Simpson is a right back and that Taylor is a better right back than Simpson. Unfortunately there is a reason that Simpson's attempts to establish himself in the PL have failed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Also I'd be tempted at having another look at Oguchi Onyewu next season if we go up, as I reckon he'd be good foil for Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I pressed Taylor and Coloccini, but on second thoughts, I would maybe play Taylor and Williamson, with Coloccini as a Defensive Midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Taylor at RB is a funny one. Defensively he's alright, but he's the epitome of a centre back at RB/LB, he doesn't have the pace for it, but dribbles strongly in a straight line and wins a throw. If we're not getting a decent dedicated RB then I'd stick him there, but I wouldn't expect it to work for a full season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Whats wrong with playing 3 at the back rather than a back 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Coloccini would be abysmal in centre midfield. First choice would be Taylor and Colo but Williamson would get plenty of games anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm worried about Colo next season, has been exceptional this season, but that doesn't cover up the fact that he was shocking last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 We should be looking to buy a quality right back in the summer to add to our defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that last season was due to ALOT of other things. Stability, management, confidence, adapting, consistent defence etc. I have no doubt that he will be better next year, how much i'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 We all know he's not particularly quick and he isn't the strongest either. It's about finding a way to adapt your game to the demands of english football. Plenty have done it, very few did it in their first season behind a woeful, woeful midfield.

The problem with that argument is that our midfield is still poor and shows no sign of changing next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Depends if Butt retires and Barton can stay fit. He's a better defender on his own merit this year though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Williamson has looked a very solid player, with good composure and a good ability to read the game and aerially. I'd like to see Taylor at right back and Colo and Williamson in the middle, but we haven't seen it, so I've gone for Taylor & Colo. Would like to see the one above tried out though.

Guest jonlane86 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Williamson and Taylor Would want Simpson RB and Enrique LB I wouldn't be hugely surprised to see us bid for Habib Beye in the summer as he's barely played for Villa this year, especially if we could offload Ryan Taylor for a couple of million......

Guest Nile Rangers Dreads Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He's very calm defender Williamson, also tall and strong. Would prefer Taylor, he adds more goal threat from set pieces. Could be the main factor. They're both vocal and command the back line but I can't see colo being dropped. Williamson could be a good back up, though I would like to see him in more games eg Forrest before making a choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Taylor hasn't looked a goal threat at all this season tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
