7rew 0 Posted July 17, 2008 because Roeder rates him. Thats my guess anyway. I know he looks ungainly, but he is actually solid, he seems to know how to take the man without it actually being a foul and the stats have not backed up the "he is our worst defender" or "he gives away loads of free kicks" arguements any time I have been bothered to look them up (atleast 6 or 7 times in the last 3 seasons).He can''t play at right back though.

Libbra Lives in Dubai 0 Posted July 17, 2008 He has aged far too prematurely for my liking. Does that mean he will retire prematurely too? Please let it be true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Match Day Pie 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Its interesting that this will be only the Doc''s third full season as a proper centre-back. Assuming he''s therefore still learning, he should continue to improve every season and when he''s 30 he should be at his peak. He may look 50 by then but it will be interesting to see how he does under a fellow central defender in Roeder. My prediction is we will see a whole new Doc!Unfortunately nothing will account for his alarming lack of pace or ability to fall over at will. He is getting better though, and was certainly not our worst player last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By Championship standards he''s not at all slow for a centreback.Slow on the turn maybe but not slow to get across the turf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E I E I E I O 0 Posted July 17, 2008 This is the biggest mystery in British Football and a question that certainly needs answering.I would love to have 5 minutes with Glen Roeder in order to gain this knowledge! I am convinced now he made it as a footballer through something like his mother being a good shag to let him play or something?I can only retort to this answer as I have exhausted all other avenues, he is without fail the worst player I have ever, ever seen!

O.T.B.C 0 Posted July 17, 2008 He is a Norwich player, end off. We should be behind every player and he is certainly not as bad as what your saying. Give him a rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seemed like a bit of a timewasting tactic but did wonder at the time if Roeder was thinking about sticking him up top again at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
