He was one of the few Blackpool players who came out with any credit in the Premier League.

Scored 3 in 10, too lol

Eh?

I'd say most of their players came out with it with credit, except the defenders, who let them down. With a half-decent defence they would have stayed up.

I've seen him in numerous televised games in the Premiership and in this league and he's definitely prone to errors. Against Forest in the play-offs he was a disaster, it was a good job DJ Crapbell was on form that night.

But, I've been wrong about central defenders before. He's obviously got something about him, maybe under a better manager than Holloway he will cut out the errors.

I actually meant to write defenders, not players :blush: . Sorry about that.

Wouldn't mind seeing that to be honest.

Kasper

LWB Schlupp

CB Morgan

CB Whitbread

CB Baptiste

RWB De Laet

CM Drinkwater

CM King/ Trotter?

CM Knockaert

ST Wood

ST Nugent

Interesting idea. Schlupp seems to be ready groomed for the LWB position (and with Wood coming, his chances of getting a go up front are even thinner).

St Ledger is out until God knows when and Whitbread is only a 20-25 games a season player. Only takes an injury or suspension for Wes and we'll be struggling.

Whitbread is doing fine fitness wise and SSL should be back by the end of Jan. I see your point but 4 CB's won't go into 2 and no way will any of them be happy on the bench. Plus Moore is decent back up there.

End of Jan where did that come from? He's only just been to Germany to see a specialist which usually means more than a month out.

Whitbread and Moore have been ok, but clanger prone.

Got a feeling Pearson is gonna use baptiste in a holding role in midfield as why another centre back when we have Moore, st ledger (i know injured at moment), Morgan and whitbread all for 2 places unless someone on way out!

Kasper

De laet

Morgan

Whitbread

Konchesky

Knockaert/Marshall

Baptiste

Drinkwater/king

Dyer

Nuge

He is only 26, proven top-end championship defender, can play anywhere across the back and even in midfield, didnt shame himself in the premier league.

More importantly, he has never played with such a strong defender as morgan, so he should perform well.

This could be a real possibility, as well as extra cover for CB.

Really like the sound of this.

NP takes so much shit when the window is closed. 'Its obvious what we need. Why can he see it?' Is popular amongst the D&Gers, yet the window is about to open and it seems two players are lined up of absolute quality that will almost definitely improve the team no end.

We are Leicester and I cant wait for 3 o clock today.

BLUE ARMEH!!!!
