TheGoogler 324 Posted August 25, 2010 Good defender very low on confidence; if Lambert can build him up, as he seems capable of doing, I''d be happy to see him here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted August 25, 2010 On his day a superb defender at Championship but at times a liability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,290 Posted August 25, 2010 Cov fans think he''s a bit of a liability. WBA fan says:"Got your self a solid defender. Good pace, good in the air, puts his body on the line. Was absolutely quality for us in his first season for us under Mowbray, came as a no nonsense defender but then in the prem Mowbray told him to play it out on the deck and that did his confidence in and hasn''t been the same since.Get his confidence back and you''ve got a quality champ defender."

missing in action? 0 Posted August 25, 2010 Let barnett do the dirty stuff and then allow ward to be the ball player...Although i think Askou can and should play.Didn''t ward and barnett play together last season then i presume? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chirp 0 Posted August 25, 2010 Leon is one of those players who made the move to the Prem too early. He still has bags of ability so could be a good signing. Personally I would have looked no further than Neal Trotman at Preston. Seen him a few times and have been in owe of his ability. No idea why he''s been listed at Preston. I think they''ll regret getting rid in the future. He''d be a fantastic signing. Having said that - If Barnett gets into form he''s the type of player Lambert might beg the board to keep when the Jan transfer window opens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted August 25, 2010 If this does happen it''ll give us a good indication of where Askou figures in the managers thinking.How would Askou feel if he was left on the bench with a player brought in on loan in the team ahead of him? If that turned out to be the case he''d surely see his future away from Carrow Road, if he wanted regular first team football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It fairly obvious that Ward is one of Lambert''s first choices (Well I think so anyway) and to a certain respect Nelson is just keeping that place warm for whenever Whitbread ever regains full fitness. But I think that Nelson has been instrumental in carrying Ward a little till he himself is fully up to speed. Now considering how much first team football Askou has had recently, can he step into those shoes? I''m not so sure its such a very good idea, at least one centre back has to be firing on all cylinders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Askou doesn''t have a divine right to the place having hardly played first team football since before Christmas. If we can bring in someone who''s up to playing speed to go against Earnie I''d be happy for him to go straight in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 0 Posted August 25, 2010 I have seen him play in a few games on sky. He is a defender with a large amount of ability but he does sometimes have the odd suicidal moment where he switches off (like a lot of the WBA defence acutally). I think the thing which rules out Davenport is that we need a defender who is ready to play now. because Askou is just finding his way back and I have lost faith in Whitbread being able to string a decent run of games together. In conclusion I don''t think Lambert will find anything better out there to cover for Nelson at the moment. So this signing is a good move in my opinion. Its nice to see Lambert dealing with potential problems early. I remember having this problem under Roeder and we ending up playing Drury, Grounds and Omosuzi at centre back at various stages during the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
