Relegation Possibility

Heskey at center back is not the worst idea in the world.  It does make the top ten though.

[Rick_avfc]

Why is Heskey even being suggested as centre back when we already have Collins and Cuellar available to play there?  Heskey should not be in the starting line up nor the match day squad.  end of!

NRC ended up at centre back in one game, so why not Emile ?

As I said above, we have Collins and Cuellar to do that duty.

Emile might make a decent emergency centre back, but we haven't hit the emergency stage yet with Collins and Cuellar fit and ready to play.

I can't believe that people are suggesting Emile as a centre back when he clearly doesnt belong in the side.  Its amazing what a crap season does to peoples minds by making them think of such silly ideas.

He's a huge player, who frequently ends up in a pile on the floor, often for no obvious reason. And people think he could do a job in defence?

It's bad enough we have the all-time leading own-goal scorer and recipient of red cards at centre back, Emile is the last bloody person we need there.

His tackling is decent, he's strong and also good in the air. Why not try it?

Can I just point out, after 25 games last season, Blues had 30 points. We have 28. With a better squad. Shit is not the word for the job he is doing. If they can drop from 30 at this point last season, we can from 28.

Last season teams generally had more points though. After playing 25 games (unless marked)

2012
15th with 28 points AV
16th with 21 points QPR
17th with 21 points Blackburn
18th with 21 points Wolves
19th with 20 points Bolton
20th with 19 points Wigan

2011
15th with 28 points Blackpool
16th with 27 points Blues (24 games)
17th with 26 points WBA
18th with 26 points Wigan (26 games)
19th with 24 points Wolves
20th with 24 points West Ham (26 games)

This doesn't mean Billy McNeil II is any good of course but the situation is a little bit different this year. My first post isn't as funny as I'd hoped

Barry Bannan ended up at CH last year when we were throwing the kitchen sink et al trying to save a game.

I'm really not sure about McLeish being our boss.
At times I think we have to give him a season, then during crazy moments during the game I think 'oh why oh why' then after the game and the dust has settled I think maybe he can turn it around.
Then you think well actually we played well against them and looked good against the other one and that if it wasn't for bad luck and silly individual errors we might have more points on the board.
Then you read all the comments about the strange things he has done regarding tactics and you really try and remember our last home win, or even our last win and start to think maybe its time to change him.

Then you see people thinking Heskey can play center back and then you know nobody actually knows anything anymore and the world has gone fucking mental.

I was pissed off how long it took to get a pie from the snack bar , I think he could do a good job there helping them out .

I hope we don't sign Tanni Grey Thompson. She is a nose

Good point well made and welcome to the site.

Also gives loads of fouls away which could be dangerous in and around the box
