king canary 7,606 Posted December 14, 2014 Not seen this mentioned anywhere else so thought I would- thought he was excellent yesterday, marshalled Holt, looked calm on the ball and read the game very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted December 14, 2014 Sorry OP, I agree with you but this is too positive a way to get your message across.You need to try something like:"Cuellar was miles better than Russell Martin", or "can see Cuellar leaving for a Premiership team in January, he''s clearly too good for us".The hat-trick would be "imagine Cuellar and Bassong at the back - oh, that''s right, you''ll have to imagine it because Bassong''s been frozen out by the clueless radio presenter who is the cook''s puppet."

ZLF 274 Posted December 14, 2014 has shown real class in his games at cb. would like to seem him on the right as befits his strong right foot preference; but had holt in his pocket all game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted December 14, 2014 CB''s come in pairs, Terry, Cahill and even as far back as Moore and Charlton, they have diiferent roles, typically one for the aerial assult and one for the ground assult, although of course they both need to do both. To perform at their individual best they need to have confidence in their partner, knowing their back is covered. So, Cueller and Martin, two games, two clean sheets and looking solid, I suspect this will not be changed unless other forces come into play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted December 14, 2014 I thought CC was good, too - unfussy, seemed to keep Holt under wraps pretty well. Villa fans had him as a bit of a cult hero, so I imagine he''ll do well enough for us if given a chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted December 14, 2014 Thought he was class. Did all the defending and quality with the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ca 1 Posted December 14, 2014 I thought it was his best game too, kept Holt well under control. The only one who worries me in the back line is Whittaker, I''m still not convinced by him though seems harsh to have a little moan when we''ve won Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Jenkins 0 Posted December 14, 2014 That back four has enough to be a very solid unit in the Championship IMO. It''s great to see the confidence coming back into Ruddy''s performances, would be silly to change anything when it''s working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,606 Posted December 14, 2014 Agree about not being convinced by Whittaker- thought he was really poor in the first half, gave the ball away consistently and played us into trouble. Huddersfield looked dangerous when Wells got into the channels and got at him- was quite surprised they took him off. I''d like to see us bring a right back in in January.
