I thought Chester was. Can't think of anything Terry did all match that was in any way noticeable. I might have forgotten bits, and to be fair, we weren't troubled in defence often, but I just didn't see it. And like I said, to be paying someone that amount of money, you want them to have a really positive impact on the game.He didn't put a foot wrong all game. What more do you want?

Fair enough, I'm clearly letting my personal feelings for the man cloud my judgement.For the record, I don't think Baker is in any way a better player than him, more that I don't think Baker/our defence was our problem last year. Today the midfield wasn't any further forward, we gave away a soft goal and yet again we didn't have the mental strength to get a win. I expected Terry to change some of that, but today it was exactly the same as last year. I didn't notice him do anything especially good. I was equally disappointed in Whelan as well.But I will concede that I am in the minority here so probably wrong.
I dislike him. But I've seen him play for us three times now and he's been the best player each time. I'd still rather we hadn't signed him, for reasons that I've made clear. On a purely footballing sense, he looks like an excellent acquisition and he and Chester look to have a better understanding than Chester and Baker had, already. And I say that as someone who is still a bit sad that Baker has gone.
