Shearergol Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 And he wasn't our best player last season either. He was certainly up there with them. One of the top 3 I would say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Colo wasnt so great in the Wham/Blackburn/Everton games in September and those are just off the top of my head. People seem to link his good performance at OT and gloss over a fair few mistakes over the course of the season. We will have to wait and hope that last year has done him the world of good to adapt to the PL. he didn't make bramble style mistakes but his defending was pretty poor throughout that season.

joeyt Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 You'd expect for a £10 million centre back to be good in the Championship though. Certainly wasn't infallible last year, his strength is still a concern for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Its his pricetag that creates the expectation that he can do better. Thats about the only difference to the others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Has to be Colo, he's the only central defender out the lot whose style compliments Campbells, the others (including campbell) are defenders whose style is to attack the ball where possible whereas Colos style it to anticipate and intercept, to read play and to play the ball out of defence. He does have to step us his game this year though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i meant basic errors not major one like Bramble. Agree though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 First game, Coloccini bossed it against Man United. Looked a real player, high on confidence. The problem is, every small mistake, people pick up on it. Defenders will make mistakes no matter what the level, it just seems at this club every small mistake is amplified cos of the players that have gone before and the reputation for this club having poor defences over the years. If our midfield and strikeforce were upto scratch, the defence wouldn't be getting as much stick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have a lot of hope for Colo, fans at his previous clubs said when we signed him that he was poor in his first season then became a favourite. Hopefully he is just a player that takes a season to settle and adapt. I do like Williamson but for me it has to be Campbell and Colo. Who knows, Colo might do well with an experienced head alongside him - he hasn't had that yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Horses for courses. All depends on who we're playing and how we're set up in CM. It'll change from game to game but I'd start with Coloccini and Campbell with Williamson on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Being someone who goes to the games (therefore having a warrant for an opinion), i'd have to agree. Jose might have stolen the show on a few occassions but i think Colo was more important, just. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
