What we could do with a Big Mo type of defender (1 Viewer)

skybluebeduff · May 14, 2017

How immense was he? We never got to see him much in the Prem because of his injuries, but those first three seasons in the Championship, how good was he? I can still hear the crowd roar as he charged like a bull through the centre of the pitch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG MO, enjoy your day you legend!

He was incredible remember seeing him getting his teeth knocked out and then carrying on a truely hard defender!

Grendel · May 14, 2017

He was awful most of the time.

Irish Sky Blue · May 14, 2017

I enjoyed watching him play, particularly surging out of defence with the ball. I never thought he was a good defender though.

A bit like you but all the time?

he wasn't the best defender by any stretch of the imagination.

PASSHUN

I liked him, but if I'm being honest it was mainly for his chant.

ccfcway · May 14, 2017

legend for me.

100% down to that last game at Highfield Rd

Best performance I have ever seen from a non CCFC player in a supporting role

Yeah, as a character he was excellent. As a footballer? Not great, all of the charging forward was just bad defending for me.

Terry Gibson's perm · May 14, 2017

Very brave because he had to be as he was having to make big tackles unfortunately most were caused by his bad positioning

sw88 · May 14, 2017

He was a fans favourite for sure. But was he that good a player? Took him a while to get into our team didn't it? And I'm guessing his stature helped him out a lot! Opposition player would clearly back off as his skill was limited yet somehow he found his way through on 'those' runs.

Not sure we've had many better chants unique to us though since!

christonabike · May 14, 2017

We need to remember he was playing against premiership strikers not Willis against over rated pub players but Grendel knows best doesnt he the prick........:bored:

He joined in the prem and I think he only became a first choice once we got relegated. I would suggest that's because he ground his level. Strachan spent a couple of million on him I think

He hardly played in the Premiership

TakeMeHome · May 14, 2017

I agree we could do with a lump of a cult centre half. Bit like Reda... Except he can stay fit.

Eastleigh got 19 games out of him this season

Big Mo - ah loved his passion and effort but I do have to agree with some others and Grendel and say he really wasn't that good a player or defender.
Does anyone know what's happened to Ben Turner.....doubt he'd go down to League 2 level but rated him above Mo and is a big lump too...

steve82 · May 14, 2017

I liked big mo, not the best or a gifted player but his desire and commitment not to be out done by his man was the overriding factor for me.
A huge fans favourite in the west terrace, including the streaker one night. Remember her? Straight up to him and a cuddle for big mo!
If only a few more players had the desire and commitment he showed, suppose his background made him thankful for where he was and job he had.

He did play in the PREM. He came on as a sub VS Spurs are White Hart Lane. He literally headed everything. Mo was a puzzle to me, I think he would have been a better lower league target man than a centre half.

Is that it :emoji_joy:

Adge · May 14, 2017

Not a great player-couldn't fault the commitment though. He comes from Bosnia you know?

Grendel · May 14, 2017

Elliot Ward was by a country mile the best defender we had in the championship.

We're not in the premiership. We're in division 4.

Which has nothing to do with the point being made

He was a good technical player but wanted to play too much football for my liking a lot of the time. But I agree, he is one of the better defenders we've had. Had the right build, height, and was quite strong

Imagine a back 4 of...

Keogh - Dann - Ward - Fox

Skybluefaz · May 14, 2017

I'd say Dann was far superior to Ward. I remember him being pretty poor in this game which I had the pleasure of being at. His arrogance held him back, in his head he was Bobby Moore. In reality he was an average championship player

LOL, nailed it. Still playing for Palace in the premiership.

I think the biggest lol is you pretending you know who either Scott Dann or Elliot Ward are

Grendel · May 14, 2017

Oh and if we are basing the best centre halves on premier league appearances post departure from us who owns that record after Scott Dann?

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · May 14, 2017

Danny was quality, I was convinced he was gonna go on and play for England... then again I though t the same as Fox
