It really was pretty awful from him today. He looks finished.

Where the fuck is Okore? How can he still be unfit?

And what is wrong with Clark?

I think whoever it was on here or elsewhere who said he was our Rio Ferdinand signing is spot on. Can't think of a better analogy than that expect QPR quickly realised Rio was finished and took him out of the team around this time last season.

Drops a bollock every time he plays, today it was three or four.

He is so obviously the weakest of the weak links in the defence. Basic stuff is beyond him.

I'm guessing, and hoping, that it was decided today was too soon for either Okore or Clark as they are only recently back in training. If Sherwood genuinely believes Lescott is better than either of them then he truly doesn't have even the most basic clue.

But he's chucked Gabby straight back in after weeks out.

Clark and Okore must be in a poor state of fitness - I'd rather have an has asthmatic pit-pony than Lescott.

It's sensible not to throw Okore straight back in...he's been out for a few months and has already had a long term injury here. You'll probably see him at Southampton.

Clark I thought just had a knock but seems to have disappered for weeks so no idea.

And where the fcuk is Tiago Ilori, what a waste of a loan fee that looks like now.

We need more experience well Lescott is the experience Sherwood wanted and he has been utter shite...so maybe not allowing to spank millions on Spurs bench warmers was for the best...

I bumped into one of my childhood friends who I'd not seen since the start of the century at the Brum half marathon and he put it quite eloquenty: Pullis would not have let him go unless Lescott was going to fall off a cliff football wise sometime soon.

And yet Tiny Penis wanted him to stay and offered him a contract extension.

We actually went back on taking up the option in our favour. His stats post Feb this year were a big concern and it was pretty clear to the medical staff that he was beginning to struggle.

JL was unhappy at us backtracking on contract talks and there was talk of taking things to the PFA at the time.

As someone else said earlier, TP would not have released him if he thought he could still do it at this level.

Legs definitely gone.  There were 3 or 4 occasions in the 2nd half yday when he was beaten by a simple ball through the channel from Shelvey to Gomis.  He was so slow he made Gestede look like Usain Bolt.  He has been utter shite since his first game.  Clark needs to come back in asap.

Problem is I think he was brought in as some experience and to play now and again or come on as a sub if needed. Thanks to our usual injury problems he's had to start every game since he arrived. Hopefully with Clark and Okore close to a return he'll be on the bench soon.

yep Lescott would be fine as a back up to Clark. Not a replacement for him. And I'd also like the new bloke to give Richards a run at RB once Okore is fit. He's well used to playing there, and a back four of Richards, Okore, Clark and Amavi just feels more secure

Just hope I never hear that " he's one of our own song " as long as I live utter garbage if pulls didn't want him what does that say to you.
How the hell he gets in the team before Clark and okore is beyond me.
We get no song about ken mcnaught or Allan Evans or mellberg but he gets one.
 
Or how about

I think Okore is still crocked, isn't he?

Hopefully the new manager will have his eyes open and shitcan Lescott.
