real_bristol Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thought he was a leader on Saturday against a strong (physically) Wednesday side. I didn't see him do anything wrong and if he performs like that week in week out could be captain material. What's he like away from home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedminster Born And Red Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not sure what his contract situation is but wouldn't be surprised to see him kept on for League 1 football. You would hope that after 3-400 odd games of League football the penny starts dropping at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair he was good on Saturday and the penny may be dropping but I say get ruthless and get rid. No more ..st,nd,rd,th chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedminster Born And Red Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 It will be at least another couple of seasons before he reaches that figure. Are you sure? I thought he has played at least around the 300 mark because I remember thinking that was an achievement for someone his age. Could be wrong though!!

Still not bad for a 24 year old TBF. Really not sure about keeping him though. http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=41919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UREDS_91 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 He's rubbish! Should have burried the opportunity he had against Wednesday! But seriously, he is one player from the older guard that I wouldn't mind keeping (if obviously the wages are correct) SOD seems to have got his confidence up and in return is putting in some decent performances.

Monkeh Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 he's had one bad game imo since coming back into the team, I wouldn't keep him tho we need to move on from everyone who's been here for 3 or more years they are serial failures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedminster Born And Red Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Can't imagine him being on massive money. I would have thought Fontaine, if anyone will have him, will definitely be going through the exit door first. Closely followed by "our most creative player" Skuse who cannot possibly justify his increased wage demands based on anything he has produced over the last couple of seasons. Likewise Gerken - if Heaton signs then he's history but if his intention is to stay at Championship level we may end up keeping Gerken. Cannot see the mass clearout that many are looking for. SOD will have a say for a start!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt SO'D was left under any illusions at interview what the outcome would be regarding shedding players if we went down. He took the job with his eyes wide open in that respect and will have been planning accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I would get rid of every centre half on our books apart from the youth players and start again. Obviously that means that we need to sign 4 centre backs in the summer which is unrealistic. If we have to keep one then it has to be Nyatanga. I cannot see Heaton going to another Championship side as he doesn't seem to want to sit on the bench. There aren't many sides, if any, that he would get into. Gerken will probably be our number one this season if Heaton won't take a pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Gerken made crucial outstanding saves in a number of games at the end of last season - even if you've made up your mind you don't like/rate him, there's no disputing that. Could not agree more. Whilst Woods' penalty won the match for us against Forest, the number of saves Gerken made during that match most definitely prevented us from losing. The man deserves a lot of credit for accepting his role as, what seems to be, a permanent number two keeper here (yes there's the argument about sitting on his butt earning a shed load) and never kicking up a fuss. Sadly, much like we will/have criticised Fontaine's performance against Wednesday, no one can deny the game he had against Leicester was painful to watch.
