RobS Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 remember this is their first game together, he doesn't speak english etc so once Colo is fit enough to actually train as well they should get better together I hope. He looks great though, kid can wear a Tux as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Definitely grew into the game. A solid debut in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 He looks comfortable with the ball at his feet. Nice debut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Great signing. Best defender on the pitch by a long way today, despite the first goal. The rest were all poor in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Mbiwa he'll not stand much of a chance unless we get a proper CB to partner him, though. We'll just ship goal after goal. difference with mbiwa is we'll not scapegoat the poor lad for the goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Thought he looked class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 People saying we need a CB to go alongside Mbemba, but McClaren has said many times Colo is captain, the most experienced, the most important blahblah We get a new CB in and Colo will still be in the team. Just need more time for Mbemba and Colo to get an understanding and hope it works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need more time for Mbemba and Colo to get an understanding and hope it works yep, we're not getting a new CB like, that'll be next summer, so they need to start getting the 4 to play together as a unit, probably a bit narrower to minimise the gap between colo and mbemba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Personally think he's going to be mint. Made a few mistakes but mostly was more assured than our other defenders. Really impressive for first game in new league imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Love the way he comes out and wins the ball rather than letting the other team have it and then defending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I wouldn't judge him aerially yet. I think he'll get more aggressive the more he learns the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not tall, black, can actually head a ball, doesn't treat a football like a hot potato, can run, doesn't get blown over by the wind. Fair assessment.

Sorted it out with his clearing header late on in a similar situation, so doesn't seem too much of a worry. Very good debut, especially considering his lack of pre-season. Chancel's a stud.
