bristolcitysweden Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Way off line about Fontaine mate, the fella is class, has pace,which is the one real pre-requisite of any good centre half/ sweeper and he is destined for bigger things (hopefully with City.) Sorry to say it but he is a chicken. Got the talent yes, but that's not enough in the end. Can read the game, got the pace but lacks the easy part of the game. Sadly enough. Or is he just bored of football? Send him to a childrens hospital, a theatre or whatever. You can stuck in. Maybe even I.. Employees like Fontaine should be haunted. Cheers Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tommy I see your point mate, Fonts is not a typical 'English' centre half ( Terry Butcher like, swathed in bandages or even Louis Carey) I do remember Fonts seeing a game out with a bandaged head though? He is , however, our best player this season so far by a mile. Whilst your English is commendable i think you meant to say "Employees like Fontaine should be vaunted" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For his and our good sake. My lexikon don't now about "vaunted" by the way. Sure it's funny though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lexikon don't now about "vaunted" by the way. We'll have to agree to differ... I rate Fonts, you don't. No problem with that, I'm pretty sure that vaunted means, roughly, valued or praised.

The thing is, with some guts he can be a very, very good player. To add that extra can't be that difficult. You can be worse off. I'm not blaming him for the Reading goals but watching him on the highlights is a bit embarrasing. It's not a Saturday jogging in the park..

Tommy I don't think he lacks guts Tommy, two things that players cant improve by training...1) You cannot overcome a genuine lack of pace. 2) guts or 'bottle' as we english call it. Fonts has both these attributes. I'm not saying he's a Franz Beckenbaur but he is our best player so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Not Basso at the moment, too inconsistent. Probably Fontaine. If McCoombe had played more games then probably McCoombe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATT BCFC Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 No one has stood out particularly on a consistant basis which is a bit worrying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfox Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Back to the main topic........ Fontaine gets my vote closely followed by Wilson who Reading aside has played well in every position he has been asked and is unfortunate not to have secured a permanent place on the right side. I know Brian is a utility player and always gives his all wherever he's asked to play but I felt for him against Reading. He looked really uncomfortable on the left but did the job as best he could, and Reading certainly exploited this defensive weakness mercilessly. I think Brian is serious competition for Bradley on the right. He has the same commitment as Bradders, but none of the 'attitude' that sometimes rears its ugly head. I certainly can't recall Brian having to be substituted to avoid being sent off. BW also has more pace and his delivery is superior. He can tackle as well too - when he's not disorientated by being played on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
