Jordan Tansley Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Has he been banned from making a challenge? Back off back off back off. The bloke is gonna cost us more than he already has if he doesn't take a bit of responsibility. Carey. Now that's a defender, absolutely collosal today. Needs to play every week.

Robbored Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I thought Fontaine was better today, particularly aerially. He certainly seemed more positionally alert as well. That said he got skinned on the outside at least twice but overall today was one of his better performances this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 3 pts today and for once it was us scoring the late winner, gonna do wonders for the lads confidence collectivly. Can we get another season out of Carey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Is Fontaine having a bad season? Oh... A player who seems to have a decent reputation with other clubs for no real reason. He should be sold in the summer when an adequate replacement can be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference between this performance and previous ones is how many of his awful mistakes were punished. Didn't win a header second half, didn't make a challenge all game.

Just because it wasn't as woeful and shoking as it they have been does not mean he is immune to any cauplability and does not mean he merits a place in the team and cannot be replaced. He's still weak, cannot lead and we can no longer count on him to stand up and be counted and give his all like we can with Carey. He's cost us soo many points this season (he's not the only one of course) no longer the player he once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to play every week. if we/Fontaine backs off the way we/he has all season on tuesday night it could end in double figures. They are on a roll and are lightning quick, not a good time to be playing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon8er Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Carey was the only player on the pitch who earnt his wages at Blackburn a while back, 36 years old and still going, all credit to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey was very good, our best centre back by milessssss. Anderson, Davies and Kilkenny all had decent games. Maloney's run down the right side in the first half was quite good as well!

Agree with this. I think we'd be best served playing Kelly in the middle with Skuse and get someone to fill in on the right. We were improved today but still not particularly good. The three points keeps us alive and let's hope it'll be a springboard. We'll need to play significantly better on Tuesday night. On a sad note, how bad/unfit did Marv look when he came on? He looks finished to me, and a real shame it'd be too. He seems to have never really recovered from injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Fontaine was nowhere near as bad as Cunningham was today. The forum would be in meltdown if Foster had played as poorly as that. Excellent debut from Moloney though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockinredrobin Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I agree Jordan I cannot work out how bad Liam has become When McInnes came in Fontaine was sound - that was 15 months ago and i cant believe how his game has worsened in that time One of our biggest problems this season is the fact that our first choice centre backs are the same 2 as we had inthe 2007/8 season -and thats almost 6 years ago i dont think you will find any club in any league still relying on the same players in these crucial positions for that long Shows u how shocking our player recruitment has been over the last few years We need to win 7 more games to have any chance of staying up and i guarantee that if Fontaine plays the majority of those then we will be relegated My only hope is SoDs judgement hes taken 2 weeks to suss Foster and Pearson hopefully he will do the same with Fontaine and Kilkenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fka dagest Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'm amazed anyone can point the finger at Kilkenny and overlook the contribution of Skuse. Kilkenny was bossing and leading our midfield today. If anyone was a passenger it was dear old Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilkenny was bossing and leading our midfield today. If anyone was a passenger it was dear old Cole. We'll have to agree to disagree there. I'm not a Bristolian either, so there's no inherent bias. I don't think that Skuse was great today either but he did improve when Kelly went more central, that's the way to go in my opinion. Reid definitely needs to be making squads now though. I don't know if he was injured today but he surely now represents a better option than Pearson, Morris or Marv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's just become a bit of a scapegoat. Maybe people don't understand his contribution or don't understand football. Maybe both! He was one of our better players today.

Tbh, I was surprised to see Elliot on the bench with both Bryan and Reid not even in the squad. He did sfa when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezOfCity Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Skuse had a stinker today it has to be said, cunningham likewise but both never gave up. Kilkenny was very good and in the first half put in more tackles than any other players. His link up play with kelly looked very promising aswell. Even saw him head it a few times!

OldlandReddies Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Dont think any of you lot were at the game today. Fonts had a very solid game and he and Carey are far and away the best central partnership we have. Kilkenny also worked very hard and kept the ball moving all game even if he had to go sideways/backwards at times. That was the best defensive performance of the season at home.

I'd like to see Reid feature much more and as for Pearson, Morris and Marv, I imagine it's only a matter of time before they disappear. I suspect O'Driscoll will go with experience for the rest of this season, which in general I agree with, Hopefully Reid's time will come, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 He was much improved today. I'm pretty sure he was fouled for the goal, it will be interesting to see the replay. He did made a few key tackles and clearances and although there were two errors it was a much better defensive unit over all. Confidence works wonders, let's try not to destroy it.
