Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The Norwich game was probably the most inept defensive performance I've ever seen. Forgotten alll about that. I take back my previous comment as that game should really still give me nightmares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Must admit that I was never his biggest fan but even I thought he'd find and perform well in a Championship team. I didn't. I think he's found his level at Doncaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The Norwich game was probably the most inept defensive performance I've ever seen. Southampton one was even worse. Southampton was terrible, was it their first goal when he defended like a 10 year old? What's Mike Williamson up to these days? Went to Wolves but didn't hear after that. Both him and Taylor will find their level soon enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Bit harsh to say that when they're both in their 30s like. They had their day, which was average Premier League, decent Championship standard players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Difficult to decide what used to hurt us more; Taylor's attempts to play out from the back despite having no ability to do so, or Williamson's knack of knocking the ball out of play every time it came near him.

The best Taylor moment for me was Bolton at home before Keegan left. I think it was clear in pre-season that he was instructed to not take risks and if in doubt, knock it out for a throw-in, because there was one fantastic moment where the Bolton left-back played an aimless ball down the line to absolutely no-one...Taylor happily jogged over to get possession near the touchline not far outside our box, with no Bolton players within 20-30 yards...and he randomly just booted the ball out for a throw-in.

John P Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Similar situation to Shola. Two guys who'd been starting for us in the Premier League for years, and within a year of leaving they're in League One and the Turkish Second Division. Ridiculous how long we held on them when it was plainly obvious for years they were no longer good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hindsight's definitely cemented the idea that he was the level we stooped to, rather than we (as a Premier League team) were the level his talent warranted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papavasiliou Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Willo played 4 games (with one red) and then got let go by Wolves a year or so after the prem with us. We have a habit of dragging absolute crap along for the ride who get found out as soon as they're let go. Plenty of candidates for the next one of them in our current squad too.
