Return of The Chief

[Stanley]

Worth his own thread IMO.

He made a massive difference coming on for Hill today.

Unlike Clint, Neds brings the ball out of defence, has 10 times more pace and is strong as an ox too.

I think he'll reclaim his 1st team spot now.

...and I'll probably need a new avatar

Yep, Ned comfortable with ball, Hill quite prone to a hoof, also Ned has the pace we need at the back.

quite happy with a hoof .Beats getting caught in possession anytime

Hmmmm. Have the clean sheets down to Clint and Dunne so soon been forgotten..?? Or Clint's MOTM last Saturday??

Not at all. His performances have been invaluable and he's been a superb deputy for Nedum during his injury. But the The Chief is back now.

Totally agree, like I wrote in the match thread, he (not Niko) made the difference second half. No fence to Hill, but Nedum was so much better playing upwards.

We'll see. Write Clint off again, why don't you. He'll prove you wrong again. And he and Dunne had to defend first half with O'Neil on the pitch. Big change second half meant the chief had little defending to do.

[Burnside]

Nobody is writing Hill off.

[Adel]

can see hill and dunne alternating in and out alongside nedum tbh, lets face it them old legs are gonna need a rest at some point

My above post will tell you that I've hardly written Clint off. Far from it. I repeat, he has been superb for us when Neds was out. However there were several examples in the 2nd half when Nedum's qualities really shone.

[Rangers77]

Those four old legs have put us top of the league. It ain't the goals we've scored. Ned wil be on the bench next week when Clint is fit. Rightly. And two right sided CBs is not an advisable pairing.

Not defensively. He had nothing much to do. Sure on two occasions he carried the ball successfully forward. But I'll put my trust in the fellas who've keep all these clean sheets for us thank you very much. Not for me the novelty of the new.

[Burnside]

Onouha at 26 yo is not going to hang around a play 2nd fiddle,he has already wasted 18months here playing RB/LB on and off. He needs to play CB or he will fark off.

[QPR Richard]

We should just be happy we've got three very good CBs.

[Brightsparx]

Like the chief but don't dominate in the air like centre halves should.
