Question Andre Blackman

[cerbera45]

Where do we start....Tony Richards, Pepe N’Diaye, Regis Coulbault.........

None of which were defender's

Owen Simpson

Half way through the first half he was bent over trying to take in air , 30 mins in and blowing

 

[amsemp]

He’s on a rolling monthly contract as we have no cover at left back. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him leave once Kyprianou is back again.

Having said that, I would much rather see Clifford given the chance over Blackman. At least he’ll be fit and be able to get himself back in position after going forward.

We just need to do what we did today in the latter part of the game if Ralph isn't fit. Play Bwomono LB and Demi RB. Simples

 

[MisterStubbs]

I bet the lad couldn’t believe it when we actually offered him a deal however short. I think he’d actually struggle to track his own shadow. Totally out of his depth at this level. Fair play to the lad for making it this far, somehow.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Is Kyprianou due back soon...………………..please, no pretty please

 

[OldBlueLady]

There's a reason he's trialled for us twice before and been released. Shame Bond got sucked in on the back of one reasonable performance against Billericay.

Positionally, he's shocking. I expected Demi would come on at LB in the 2nd half, and still feel that might have been better.

 

[Andy_S]

It’s not even that he’s so bad positionally, it’s the fact that he doesn’t put any effort into getting back. He just jogs back without a care in the world.

 

[maninasuitcase]

Turns out signing someone who was released by a National League club last year and has never spent more than one season at one club was a bad idea...

Yes, 10 years a professional and he has still to make 100 first team appearances and he is not a goalkeeper. You have to conclude that the managers at his previous clubs hadn't got it wrong.

Ben Lewis

Yep, he was the only one I could think of!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Looks like a guy who won a competition to be a footballer for a day.

 

[rayleigh dan]

Where do we start....Tony Richards, Pepe N’Diaye, Regis Coulbault.........

Not defenders

Plus Coulbault was actually quite good, at least in comparison to the rest of the team that year!

 

[rayleigh dan]

Gilbert, really? He wasn't great sure, and on the ball he was pretty crap, but positionally he was head and shoulders over Blackman. We actually got worse defensively after he left, replacing him with Straker!

 

[OldBlueLady]

What is really sad is when you think back over all the really good LBs we had, some on loan, who have gone on to much better things - Charlie Mulgrew, Steve Hammell, Scott Malone, George Friend.....

And let's not forget the best of all, Chris Powell.

He's a lot further back than those I've mentioned, who are almost all still playing at quite a high level - Hammell only retired last season I believe.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Ben Coker on crutches would be an improvement

 

[DistantBlue]

Owen Simpson

Owen was ok
Not brilliant
But nowhere as bad as people have tried to make out
For what it’s worth I thought Blackman was not too bad today
Unfit yes
But not too baf

 

[Chrisb]

Chris Ramsey was pretty poor.
