Title: Jerel Ifil
Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, August 28, 2005, 13:30:46
Is it only me that doesn't think Ifil is a great player?

He can be on his day a fantastic defender but oh my god, his distribution is simply abysmal.

2 games now i've seen him pass to nobody!!!

What is he thinking?

I think he's awful, you can't expect to put a consistent run of results together when Jerel makes a mistake every single game.

His distribution makes me cry as well.

Comyn-platt deserves a chance. Was vewry very disappointed and angry he didn't feature yesterday specially after a good game in the week...

Will King ever drop Ifil though??

With Sean O now injured i doubt it  :-))(

Prob not. Hes all talk at the minute blaming him for every mistake (which isn't good for Ifils confidence and shouldn't be done publicly by the manager). He should be dropped and then hopefully come back a better player.

Seriously though, how can anyone have vision and distribution like him??

My gran passes the ball better.

I think Comyn-Platt should be played alongside O'Hanlon.

I think Collins should partner O'Hanlon with Gurney and Smith as full backs.

I'd put Comyn-Platt on the bench.

Ifil isnt playing at his best at the moment, we know he can do better, we've seen him do much better, much much better

He seems to play better in a central 3 than a 2.

Also, a player lacking confidence seen as his manager is quick to single him out...

Thats cos there's an extra man to mop up his mistakes!!

He is a good player he just makes mistakes. I think we'd miss him at the back if he wasn't there, especially if the opposing team had 2 quick forwards.

I like Ifil, he can be a very good player but his mistakes are frustrating, I'd still  have in the team though.

Stick Comyn-Platt in the centre.

Nah you're wrong.  Jerel's just going through a bad patch, but he's still one of the club's best defenders.  With the truly magnificient signing of the Andrew Gurney there'll be a bit more competition at the back, but I'd be sceptical about bringing in Colym-Platt so quickly into a side which only just seems to be settling down.  I think if Ifil is given a run in the side and allowed to build up some confidence he can be a class act.  Just because he looks shakey at his tender young age does not mean we should give up on him.
