johnnypd Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Solano and Taylor are both better than Carr at right-back. Solano has solved our RB problem, for a year or two anyway. We can now focus on a left-back, central defender and striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I remember, when Sir Bobby brought Carr to the club, he was a very good right back. When do you think that he became such a poor defender? I remember he was appalling v us when we beat them 4-0, i didnt want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribble Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Could be injuries have taken their toll. But he's been sloppy, weak in the air and doesnt seem to give everything for the team for a while now. Keep Nobby there, and hopefully find a buyer for Carr in the summer when we can get a young replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I remember, when Sir Bobby brought Carr to the club, he was a very good right back. When do you think that he became such a poor defender? He's always been shite. Definitley not one of Robson's better dealings, much rather see Ramage / Solano make that role their own. He used to be good. Admittedly that was a while before we signed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skryp2nit3 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I assume everyone wants Nobby back in at RB next game but will Roeder have the balls to drop Carr? This is Roeder's first big selection decision i feel and possibly determines whether he has the right stuff to be a good manager. Knowing him however he'll probably play both, Carr on the left and Nobby on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 To be honest I would settle for Nobby RB and Carr LB for the next game, Huntington has had a decent run in the team but he is in no way a full back. Then again Carr is crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Roeder better put nobby back at RB again. Id expect him to put carr at LB, unless Babayaro fancies returning to the fray. Then Carr to the bench PLEASE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TampaToon Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 if duff doesn't turn the corner offensively (which i fully expect him to do) by the time the zog returns, how would nobby & duff at fullback linking up with milner & n'zogbia on the wings do to solve our fullback crisis? would certainly help us move the ball out from the back without just hoofing it to an opponent....

Northern Monkey Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Solano is not only our best RB, he's our best fullback. Having not seen the new loanee play, ever, i can only say with any confidence that we only have 2 premiership quality defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skryp2nit3 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Nol right back into the battleFeb 8 2007 By Lee Ryder, The Evening Chronicle Nobby Solano says he is happy to resume at right-back in Saturday's clash with Liverpool. The Peruvian missed the 3-1 win over his old club Aston Villa eight days ago due to suspension, but was not restored to the starting line-up at Fulham, with Steven Taylor preferred on the right-hand side of defence and new loan signing Oguchi Onyewu starting in the middle alongside Titus Bramble. Yet a thigh injury for Stephen Carr - which could keep him out for a month - sustained on Republic of Ireland duty - means Glenn Roeder must again rethink his side for Liverpool's visit. Carr was used as a left-back against Fulham, but Taylor may be asked to fill in against the Merseysiders - opening up the door on the opposite side for Solano again. Former Peru right-back Solano claims he is more than happy to continue with a defensive role. The former skipper of his country said: "I enjoy playing right-back. "It is quite a comfortable position, as you can see all of the pitch. "You have more time to pass, and more time on the ball. "You have to work harder when you are a midfielder. "The manager has a problem with injured players and he is happy with me there." Roeder announced Solano as his first-choice right-back last month, and it is fair to say some of Newcastle's best performances have coincided with the South American in that position. Nobby - who played in Oba Martins for his 11th goal of the season after coming on as a sub at Craven Cottage - has proved a good organiser at the back, and also stepped up against West Ham to roll home a crucial penalty to earn a point against the Hammers. His current deal runs out in the summer, but he is expected to extend his stay on Tyneside after joining at the start of last season from Villa for a second spell following Sir Bobby Robson's decision to sell him in 2004. Positive comments imo. I think Nobby's realised that he's not going to get in the team ahead of Milner at right wing so he's decided to compete against Carr directly for rightback spot. If you remember previously even when he was doing well at right back he has always maintained that he's only doing a temporary job and Carr is still first choice. Well someone obviously had a rethink when he was left out against Fulham. Can only be good news for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon55544 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 If Carr walks back into the side when he is fit i will lose all respect for Roeder, Carr has proved time after time that he aint good enough for us and Solano has proved he is good enough. Im praying that he is sold in the Summer. It was a slap in the face when we got Carr because for weeks before we bought Carr we were heavily linked with Miguel and it did seem possible that we'd get him but then some how we got Carr.

Guest teepee Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 it is extremely important that nobby stays as our first choice rb for a couple of seasons - will allow us to focus on strengthening other areas of the team! sell carr (or give him away, just to free up wages) and bring in a young rb as back up for nobby!

Northern Monkey Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I dont mind either but his age is catching up with him quickly and that could be a problem.But I think another 1 1/2 year should be not much of a problem for him. Roeder no doubt already knows this, I think he is more concerned with the now than the future atm. Too true. Roeder has zero planning skills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
