I also think Hyam’s illness did him a favour, he’s looked a different player the last two games
I’m hopeful Pask will be pushing and by some miracle we can sign OstiI’m sure the club will exercise the 1 year option on Hyam
Fadz worth another year too for the leadership qualities alone
Will definitely need a new CB in the summer though
He's done well but he isn't anyway near being our best defenderStill the best defender at the club
(That we own atleast )
Haha ...this is a bad takeHe's done well but he isn't anyway near being our best defender
Yes and no, the number of clean sheets we've kept is a better barometer than overall goals concededhe's been great this last week, but despite all the flapping about scoring goals we still have the 2nd worse defence in the league but have scored more than 6 other teams so defence is definitely an area that needs improving.
On the topic of Willis, he's out of contract this summer. Anyone know how well he's done at Sunderland? He's coming into his prime... would be good if only for the laughs to get him for a free from them... even better if it were announced 17 minutes after their last game.
EDIT: Done some digging; they still rate him. He's one of only 5 one of their posters would keep for next season.
I’m confident this is true of Dabo. I thought he looked good after he’d a few games under his belt. I hope that the same is true of Rose.Hoping Rose and Dabo this season were just having trouble coming back to fitness and can perform at the level next season. If so, we might be able to get away with one CB and McFadzean, but I’d much rather Østigård or someone similar and another of the same level.
Do think a better GK always makes the back line look more comfortable though.
McFadz is very good in the air and blocking shots. He's also pretty slow - and when ran at with pace tends to get sent off or give away a penalty. We'd miss him for games like today but really need a Willis-type centre back too to defend against better sides who like to keep the ball on the ground.
Another season ?
Actually had that thought watching the game today, he just seems to get better, there was actually one occasion today where he looked like he had a bit of pace!
He's 5 years younger than Jagielka, plenty of life left in him yetActually had that thought watching the game today, he just seems to get better, there was actually one occasion today where he looked like he had a bit of pace!
The Guy's a fookin Legend!
My only worry is that we can't afford to rest him, so I just hope he gets to the world Cup break and January without picking up an injury.
Be just our luck if Southgate calls him up.
Didn’t see or hear anything about the game but pound for pound he’s the best signing we’ve made in the Robins era
