Joleon Lescott - GONE

[Ads]

Yes he's been good of late. He seems to aid Okore too with his constant talking.

[Monty]

I liked his response to scoring. No faff, just very up-for-the-fight fist-pumping.

Villa in Denmark has probably been coaching Joleon. Useful things to say in Danish. Jores pull your finger out. Jores put it in Row Z. Jores you can pass the ball back, that's Bunn. Jores follow me it's half time.

[Toronto Villa]

he's been excellent since the Wycombe incident. Sometimes you need a little reminder of your duties even if it came from unconventional means. Him and Okore are significantly better than Richards being any part of the CB pairing. In fact, Richards was getting to be a bit of liability at RB today.

[PaulWinch again]

He's been excellent of late and could be of great use next year.

[Ian.]

Yep, he's been very good when partnered with Okore. I hope both are still here next season.

[Nastylee]

He also scores which given our record in that dept is worth its weight in gold.

Jores follow me it's half time.

LOL. I love Joresy but he does look a bit confused at times. Noticed Joleon coaching him today and thought this might be helping.

Joleon is doing exactly what we'd have hoped and his legs are holding up. If he stays fit he's a key player. I think since he's actually had a bit of a run in the side he's done well, and certainly, he seems to do well with Okore. As others say, he's constantly talking to Jores, and perhaps given that Jores is young and more inclined to listen than Richards, it suits Lescott to have a padawan next to him. The sad part is, Richards could really benefit from learning from an experienced CH because he plays like he's still 18 and wet behind his ears.

[Clark W Griswold]

There were signs of improvement with Lescott and an understanding with Okore as far back as Arsenal at home but they seem to be getting better still. This has to be the first choice pairing for the rest of this season and next season provided we can keep them fit.

Joleon
I didn't think you was up to it but with every game you are showing your worth
But then again I didn't think ken mcnaught was up to it after seeing his first few games
I hope you end up with the same medals as him

[clash city rocker]

Must say in recent weeks Lescott has won me over...now wait for a stinker of a game against the scouse  !

[PeterWithesShin]

He's doing now what I hoped when we signed him, he also strikes me as the perfect partner for Okore. He's recovered well from a stinker of a start, that first half against sha would be up there with some of the worst performances i've seen from a player.

I do wonder how much playing alongside Richards played into that? Richards isn't exactly your stay at home defender and when you have a partner who is always abandoning his duties it just adds pressure to the defenders left behind. Not saying Lescott didn't make his own mistakes because he did, but he seems more assured now having a better and more responsive playing partner.

[supertom]

If Lescott keeps up the form and stays next season and can still perform, he's a cult figure in the making here I feel. He's getting there. 3 months ago I thought he was destined to be another "remember when we signed .... and he was pish."
