Sol Campbell

[Newcastle Fan]

He'll never look good partnering Taylor. He needs someone alongside him with confidence on the ball who'll always give him an option. Colo will walk back into the side, not sure who he'll partner, though.

 

Are you really blaming Taylor for this man?

But I thought you said that the good players make the bad players better? Y'know, like Colo does with everyone. why not Campbell?

Desperate Ronaldo, desperate

Erm, that was kind of my point.

[S.S.R.]

Clearly Taylor's fault. Hogging the treadmill at the club gym so Sol can't get his fitness.

[Karjala]

Campbell shud have packed in 5yr back

[Beren]

Campbell is a decent 4th choice centre-back for a club of our standing.

[cubaricho]

Really hope to see Colo and Willy back in defense next weekend.  Absolutely abysmal defending for the past few matches from Sol and Taylor.  Taylor only being saved by Campbell looking so past it taking the spot-light.

[TooonDoom]

His mistakes cost one goal could have cost two more.  He looks really nervous on the ball.  Really bad day for him today.

[JH]

and people were saying Williamson should be 4th choice.

 

 

Hopefully Colo and Williamson walk back into the side and this Taylor/Campbell nonsense can finally be put to bed.

By 'why not Campbell'? As in him being the player that is better than Taylor, and a clear leader.

[TRon]

Sol starts off the games well but looks a bit knackered after 70 mins. Good thread though.

 

 

[QBG]

Shocking today. Looking forward to Colo and Mike being back.

[Guest palnese]

I wrote something like:

 

1. Sol

2. Colo

3. Saylor

4. Williamson

 

... in a thread on here.

[Guest ObiChrisKenobi]

How man, leave Twinkle Toes Campbell alone, or Ronaldo will but a voodoo spell on ya.

I disagree, Sol had looked his worst at the start of games. West Brom he looked like he was a destined to fail prospect the first 15 mins or so.

[Tooj]

He's blowing out of his arse after 30 minutes.

 

He can still do the basics better than Taylor can. (I expect criticism for saying that though)

 

I watched Taylor closely in the first half, simpy in the hope that during his long layoff he would have changed certain aspects of his game. Unfortunately for us he still doesn't track the man and spends far too much time pointing to mask his own inadequacies.

[pedro111]

Sols a tank man, I love him.

[Tooj]

Coloccini and Williamson would be my first choice partnership for the time being.

Sol in for Willow for me like. Willow has been poor recently.

Expect criticism?  Everyone on here seems to detest Taylor and thinks he's shit...

[Ryan_Taylor]

Thread title. Kneejerk much

[NEEJ]

Sol made Taylor look like the king of composure today, and thats saying something. Colo walks back in, no doubt. I think STaylor's done ok and should keep his place. I dont get the continual bashing of the lad on here. Yes he's been awful in the past, I myself have pillared him many times, but he's done more that ok since coming back in. Add's more physicality that Willo too, after his drop in form.

[Guest Ridzuan]

Whenever he gets in the opponent's penalty box for corners, I get worried because if  there is going to be a counter-attack, I dont think he could make it back on time. Anyway, his peformance has been decent for us so far, dont think he performed exceptionally well. He should be dropped now that Colo and Willie have served the ban. But Taylor definitely earned his spot though.

[Doug]

If I was Tamas Kadar my written transfer request would be in before January if this sad old shadow of a once great player was given a place before me.

I dont know what is more pathetic, the sight of him trying to defy the ravages of time or the delusion of the people who expect him to reproduce the athletism of his youth.
