Am I missing something? I know diouf missed brum game with compassionate leave, but, as he's possibly the only player we've got with a footballing brain, how comes he's not getting a look in? Before every1 starts, I don't claim to know more than the manager, I do rate diouf highly tho

I do agree with you, however, diouf probably isn't putting in effort at training and he can very rarely give you 90 mins

I am with u on that. Can't understand why he is not on the pitch! When he is on form he is pure genius. If he is having a bad day then take him off! Simples.

Agree0 Disagree0

We are building with youth not old men

Agree0 Disagree0

He's too slow and slows us down big time. More interested in time-wasting despite being in the first half. Need youth and pace

Agree0 Disagree0

Still think he is a great player to bring on in the right circumstances. Definitely warrants a place on the bench.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nothing wrong with diouf he's more than capable playing at this level and when he does play he always looks like making something happen

The signing of Zalikus is important to add some experience to a shaky defence. The current holders of the three centre back positions do not have the authority/confidence to lead the partnership. I think that Wooton is a good player however as the centre of the back three he has been left to organise Lees and Pearce which I currently think is beyond his capabilities. Pearce has improved on last year but still struggles from a lack of pace and indifferent positional sense. Lees has all the attributes to be a top centre back however he needs a grow a set of gonads. Whenever Lees makes a mistake his confidence drains and he becomes a liability to the team. He also needs to learn to concentrate for 90 minutes in a game, players can and will make mistakes however the majority of Lees mistakes are because he has switched off. As I said he has the capability to be a good centre back but my concern is that he has had the same issues for the past three seasons and does not seem to improve. For me the back three for the next game should be Wooton, Zalikus and Pearce (or even Peltier instead of Pearce).

Well said said Notts,
agree mate!

Agree0 Disagree0

Completely agree mate. We needed a solid, experienced centre back, I think we have finally got one! All it needs now is to decide who he partners with. As said by yourself Notts, Lees is a liability when things don't go his way, we can't afford to have liabilities in the current team, we need results, I am adamant Lees will come good over time, but for now he needs some time out. Personally I'd go Peltier, Zaliukas and Pearce. Whilst I rate Wootton I still feel at this current moment in time he needs to grow as a player before becoming a permanent fixture in the starting line up, of course these are only my opinions, many fans see things differently, so would welcome all options, after all the only one that matters in the end is the opinion of B'Mac!

Either way, a very good addition to the SQUAD!

Wow quality post can't argue with a single point of this. Proper looking forward to seeing how zaliukas fends.

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally agree nice to see a sensible well rounded opinion on here.

Also as well as experience he has experience of been a captain at a decent level so should be able to organise the other 2 centre backs with ease.

Man utd looking to let wilf Zaha out on loan in January. Worth a punt in my opinion.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not going to happen after the abuse he got from are fans and then to top it of sticks his middle finger up and not forgetting his wages not realistic at all craig noone is who we should be looking to loan

Agree0 Disagree0

They've wanted to loan him out since summer. he's on 30k wages though, and they want it all paying, which is why he hasn't joined anyone yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't want him, like the 2nd poster said he stuck fingers up at us proves he belongs at doesn't it.

everyone slated blackstock off even before he had kicked a ball for us, then he scores with his first touch for us. may not be no messi, but a goalscorer maybe. MOT

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well said that to many fans are quick to slate new signings before they have even kicked a ball forget what happened at forest he is now playing for us and he deserves are backing soon as he puts that white shirt on.

Agree0 Disagree0

Blackstock ain't good enough, we can do a lot better.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can we really name us someone then if you think blackstock isn't good enough be hard to beat first touch header goal?

Absolute shambles in the defence yesterday Wotton and Warnock terrible, eats hope Zaliukas can shore up the back row, the price we paid for Luke Murphy now seems totally over inflated clear chance yesterday resembled Barn door Billy

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Personally don't think scott wootton has put a foot wrong yet since he joined either pearce or lees need to be dropped and replaced by zaliukas need that bit more steal at the back

Agree0 Disagree0

Wooton is the worst of the current back 3. I'd stick with Pearce & Lees and add Zaliukas. I think Pearce has improved a lot since last season.
