If our central defenders are so shit and unreliable, then there was nothing stopping Houllier signing somebody in January.  We have about 235 central midfielders, yet it has been obvious from the off this season that the defence has gone to pot.

Nothing other than money and availability, you mean.

[UsualSuspect]

I accepted this season as a transitional one, by that I thought 10th - 12th, not fighting fucking relegation.

I think but for the horrendous run of injuries we would have another 6-10 points and be comfortably top half, as it is we are 13th.

I agree, but why can't some  fans see this ?

What use is saying we should be in 'blah-blah' position when we're in a relegation scrap?
Almost as bad as 'too good to go down.'

If your Aunti had balls she would be your uncle

The fact is in the last 24 league games we have won 5

We are exactly where we deserve to be, we have had opportunities to get ourserlves out of the shit but can't.

A loss to Wolves and I'll be shitting is as i dont fancy us in a roll your sleeves up relegation scrap

As available as Darren Bent?

Money obviously wasn't a factor.

Why? We spent a lot of money, I don't think funds are unlimited.

It's a relief to me that we didn't get anybody in.
He was hot on the trail of Chris Samba AKA Eric Young remixed.

[Dave Cooper please]

I never thought I'd see the day where I would be in as much agreement as I am with Chris Smith!

I know, I'm in the same boat (or is it ship?), I keep having to look and try to find something to argue with.

We should never let George VI on here.

losing to Wolves is unthinkable,

We haven't suffered from horrendous injuries at centre half.

Collins and Dunne have each missed only a handful of league games, some of which were unrelated to injuries. How many times has Carlos sat on the bench? Clark has generally been exceptional for a defender in his inaugral season.

People are using injuries to excuse a totally unacceptable performance from the manager with this squad at his disposal.

I agree. The defenders have been below par, and GH must take the blame for this, particularly the fact that Dunne was overweight and unfit for half a season.

On the other side, Clark has done well and Luke Young has proved himself capable at PL level. I think we should give MON credit for this.

He's played in the Premier League continually for the last thirteen years. Hardly cause for crediting Martin.

Spot on.
