Another forward from swindon who fails at a higher level.

Only Fjortoft played the big time for lesser clubs.

We seem to produce better defenders and midfielders - Calderwood, Kerslake, Summerbee, Horlock,Moncur etc etc

Its hard to judge and make a comparison of the Paynter who played for Swindon and one who played last night.
When he was brought into the game on the very few occasions he did ok.
Snodgrass and Howson and nippy little fucker on the left did not do him any favours, instead of putting the ball into Paynter's feet, chest, head they continually tried to beat the man in front of them, lose the ball and Paynter's runs probably went unnoticed by most. All Paynter could do was to trot from one side to the other to try to get into the game. Totally different style to what he received at Swindon. The only time he received it to his feet he laid off a beautiful pass into the oncoming midfielder.
It's going to be hard for Billy at Leeds.

He did ok from what I saw. Looked to be working hard from the off, good strength and laying the ball off. But one counter he looked absolutely fucked. Guess that's what 5 months out will do to you.

I agree with this. Also, let's not forget he was a lone striker amongst the premiers leagues best defenders.

No....its just we never seem to produce a forward who goes on to the top........they always flop....injuries included so i take your point.

City had Andy Cole, the Pox had Aldridge, even Rovers had Gary Penrice...

I'm all for not slating an ex-player but I wouldn't go that far.. Djourou, Koscielny, Gibbs and Sagna are not really in the PL's best defenders category are they?

Thought he looked a shadow of the player that left us, but 5 months of injury and playing in the stiffs will do that. I'd have him back in an instant at the moment.

Technically if we are looking at stats Gibbs aside those Arsenal defenders have consistently played all season and they currently have the 2nd best defensive record in the division.  So although individually they may not be the best defenders as a back 4 they are the 2nd best in the league.
