big gal Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 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 Quote
no balls Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Pre 1992 what kind of a fan were you? And the stats back Carlos up. Quote
DazBob Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) What were you before 1992? A shitfan? Edity: Curse NB and her fast little fingers. Edited September 30, 2012 by DazBobParr Quote
Carlos Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 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? Quote
DazBob Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 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. Quote
big gal Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 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! Quote
Carlos Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Bergsson, Ngotty, Ben Haim, right backs, no? All played behind a ball winning centre-mid, Warhurst, Campo etc. Quote
MickyD Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 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. Quote
Atomic White. Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I dont think our players are good enough tbh. Quote
beer_swiller Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Coyle presumably signed Tim Ream to defend, but even he seems out of favour. Wheater has been a sore loss.. Quote
big gal Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 Agree that wheater has been a loss. Quote
Ani Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 We lack leadership on and off the pitch. Until that is sorted we will underperform. This boys and girls is a fact. Quote
wayne cramp Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 One of our better centre halfs of recent times was florent laville Quote
Guest bwfcdan Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 One of our better centre halfs of recent times was florent laville Faye, Ben Haim... Quote
Atomic White. Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 we need a big hard bastard like Bruno at the back. Quote
only1swanny Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 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 Quote
MickyD Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 His kicking, at times yesterday, was woeful but not nearly as bad as Palace's keeper. Quote

jayjayoghani Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 A four man midfield with those four Please tell me you're taking the piss isnt how we ended yesterday's game? Quote
jayjay Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 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! Quote
Casino Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 isnt how we ended yesterday's game? What's your point Quote
jayjayoghani Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 it happened. you made it sound unfathomable Quote
jules_darby Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 we need a big hard bastard like Bruno at the back. Because Mills is ........? Quote
