September 30, 201213 yr Been a proper fan since 1992 and as far as i can remember we always had a good centre half. Either as a leader or a quality defender or both. Since cahill left we don't have this. I would start here if we wanna go back up and stay up
September 30, 201213 yr What were you before 1992? A shitfan? Edity: Curse NB and her fast little fingers. Edited September 30, 201213 yr by DazBobParr
September 30, 201213 yr Which leads to my though; Cahill played for England and did pretty well in the Champions League. Just how shit are the rest of them?
September 30, 201213 yr You can have the best defender in th world in your team, but if the lads in front can't keep hold of the ball and it keeps coming back then you'll crack eventually. It's been our problem for a long time now. We just can't keep hold of posession ... and this isn't helped in the slightest by the temptation to keep aiming for Kevin Davies's noggin.
September 30, 201213 yr Author I agree at times we were doing better without cahill but i feel we had a stubbs. Or a taggert. Bergson ngoty. Ben Haim. Et al. Currently our best centre half is going for the record of conceeding the most penalties in a season! Before 1992 i was at primary school and had to rely on my dad to take me!
September 30, 201213 yr Bergsson, Ngotty, Ben Haim, right backs, no? All played behind a ball winning centre-mid, Warhurst, Campo etc.
September 30, 201213 yr Cahill may well have been in a defence which leaked goals. It certainly hasn't improved without him though. We still NEVER look like keeping a clean sheet.
September 30, 201213 yr Coyle presumably signed Tim Ream to defend, but even he seems out of favour. Wheater has been a sore loss..
September 30, 201213 yr We lack leadership on and off the pitch. Until that is sorted we will underperform. This boys and girls is a fact.
September 30, 201213 yr One of our better centre halfs of recent times was florent laville Faye, Ben Haim...
September 30, 201213 yr Touched on it on GMR last night Mills seems lacking, Knight is doing a sterling job this season but as with a lot of the players seem's content to hoof it uptowards SKD, problem is that Davies just isn't pulling this off like he used to. For a team Loneran Riley Mills Knight Warnock CYL Spearing Eagles/Mavies Petrov Ngog Sordell* Possibly Afobe for Sordell as he looks like he's going to be a good strong striker.. Davies on the bench to replace whichever striker isn't performing as well second half I reckon playing just one attacking midfielder would do the job, Jurys out on Bogdan
September 30, 201213 yr His kicking, at times yesterday, was woeful but not nearly as bad as Palace's keeper.

September 30, 201213 yr A four man midfield with those four Please tell me you're taking the piss isnt how we ended yesterday's game?
September 30, 201213 yr Why not play Ricketts at centre half? After all hes our best defender. Coyle played him out of positon for months then drops him when he had one bad game (Hull). The mans a fucktard of the highest order. He thinks mears is worth his place! Riley and Ricketts are both better right backs. In fact keep your 2.5 mil in your pocket and keep Steinson on it would have been cheaper. He has to go. K Davies Mills and Mears should not be anywhere near our first eleven. Clueless cunt!
September 30, 201213 yr we need a big hard bastard like Bruno at the back. Because Mills is ........?
