Dave Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm assuming it will be Coloccini whilst Taylor is out, but who should partner Campbell after that? This is also assuming Campbell will be our first choice centre-half like... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 :colo: And just to piss Dave off, Steven Taylor to right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Should Campbell be automatic first chouce? Any 2 of Colo, Taylor and Williamson would be fine IMO. Not saying Campbell shouldn't start mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Think all 3 of Williamson, Colo & Taylor have potential to do well. No solid reason to put any above the other at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Williamson looked solid and read the game well, but his lack of pace may be a bit of a problem, however neither Taylor or Coloccini are fast either.

Nobody Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Colo for me, but it's too early to say as we don't know whether that partnership would work or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Colo, for me. Although I'll be disappointed if Williamson doesn't get a look in- I thought he was very impressive last season, despite it being in the Championship. The only thing about our backline (bar Jose and maybe Simpson) is that there is a distinct lack of pace there whoever plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Williamson is the slowest of the three and the weakest by a distance on the deck. He's a good squad player, but shouldn't really be in contention for a place in the starting Xl with everyone fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing about our backline (bar Jose and maybe Simpson) is that there is a distinct lack of pace there whoever plays. What defences do have a load of pace? - Vidic and Ferdinand don't, Terry and Carvalho don't, Carragher and Skrtel/Agger don't, Dawson and King don't etc etc. Pace isn't particularly important its reading of the game you need as centre half.

The only thing about our backline (bar Jose and maybe Simpson) is that there is a distinct lack of pace there whoever plays. We signed him when in the championship, so people now relate him with that level. Regardless of the fact that he outperformed colo when he came in & controlled our defence far better, was better in the air etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I like Williamson a lot but at the moment I think I would have to go Colo. Just realised something, Colosol is almost colossal, surely that is destiny right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 haven't we signed perch primarily as a right back? Isn't that his best and favourite position? From the tiny amount Ive seen of him there he's better than Saylor at RB! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Taylor's not a RB, and being forced in to that position would certainly see us losing him for free next summer. Hopefully Hughton isn't that idiotic. Colo has a lot to prove, he'd have to up his game 3 or 4 times the level he gave us in his debut season to be an average premiership defender, he at least doubled it last season, so there's hope. Taylor though has done a lot better at this level for longer, and with a decent partner beside him and a much needed mentor I believe it will bring him on massively. If he wasn't injured it would have to be Taylor for me. But you can't ignore the injury imo, and its going to keep him out for a while and then he needs to get up to speed with games, Taylor could find himself fazed out if Colo finds it in him to be a premiership quality player, I know its a big IF, but he's got a better chance this time round. Also Williamson hasn't put a foot wrong, people say he's unproven at this level, well its better than Colo who's been proven not to be able to cope.

Cronky Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Williamson, deffo. He's not the greatest athlete, but he's a cool head and reads the game well. The other two are unreliable, each in their own way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
