this applies to the following...
sean o'hanlon- really a very average defender, by no means the best outside the premiership ffs, he's in charge of a shocking defence and that says it all
jamie cureton- tries hard but the bloke can't hit a barn door, his holdup play is weak at best, he's certainly not as quick as he was and that's his main weapon down the crapper
tony thorpe- simply doesn't do anything, just stands there like a lemon, no effort at all until he got booed
rhys evans- you are allowed to dive if needs be dearest

I think thats a bit harsh on Cureton and Thorpe mate, but each to their own...

Both Thorpe and Cureton will benifit from playing alonside Fallon. They cant really play together.
Its fair to say King was talking absolute bollocks when he said Sean-O "was the best defender outside the premiership" That said he may have just being trying to talk up his value in view of the Cardiff interest.

Re. Sean O'.
He's a good defender, but if we could put Branston and that no. 5 from Barnsley together he wouldn't get into the team.
Certainly not one of the best in this division, but there are a lot worse.

Tony Thorpe apparantly is very "Either brilliant or crap" according to some city fans.
O'Hanlon was one of the best all last season.

you said cureton tries hard, is that not commitment?
rhys had no chance for any of the goals
thorpe i agree with
seano - you're right but he's still our best defender

not really, he tried hard to create something with the ball but wasn't fucked about getting it back when he lost it (which was rather often) you basically accepted everything else i said so why did you fucking blast it |

because your expectations are far too high for a team of players who haven't played much with each other yet, they need time to gel - especially cos we had a pointless pre-season

ooh i was discussing this earlier
i don't buy this 'gel' theory for two reasons
1. you don't need to 'gel' to be able to control/tackle/pass/run/shoot straight but this was beyond many of our lot
2. oldham signed more players than us and they played some very neat stuff
