Bardsley or Colback at left back

Phil Bardsley, although this will stick in the craw of many on here, is no worse a full back than anyone who has played there for us this season. This doesn't mean I rate Bardsley highly, it means I don't rate any of our full backs highly!

IMO we should have tried to sign Alan Hutton who's out of favour at Villa as well as a decent left back of course. Hutton isn't the best defender but his attacking style suits our our limited attacking options perfectly.

Not sure I agree with the 2nd paragraph but thank christ someone has a touch of common sense about them with that first paragraph.
 
That's a very good question.

I am in no way a Bardsley fan but always thought he was much better at left back than right back.

I prefer Colback as a player but if he's anything he's a midfielder.

Bardsley in our current plight.
It is a stupid question.
Bardsley should NEVER wear a Sunderland shirt again.[DOUBLEPOST=1381605754][/DOUBLEPOST]
Celustka or Gardner right back, Colback or Dossena left back, Bardsley cleaning the toilets.
And that is too good for him.
 
Hmm it's a tricky one, Bardsley throws himself into tackles, pumps his fists and can't cross.

But Jack Colback is a better footballer than him.

I just can't decide.
 
:):)
colback's a regular for a reason and bardsley isn't for a reason.
on a brighter note i do think bardsley does have the odd decent game in his locker. if he does get another chance he needs to grab it tightly with both hands.

Colback isn't a fullback, you can laugh all you want, he's only ahead of him because Bardsley celebrating us staying up in a casino

We can't have colback left back all season[DOUBLEPOST=1381608833][/DOUBLEPOST]

You think you are being funny there, but colback is a centre mid who has been badly caught out at left back this season, Bardsley is a better defender, Simple

Strange that you mention fist pumps because that's the same reason out fans still think Di Canio was ok

Honestly Phil Bardlsey isn't a better defender, he masquerades as one because he dives into tackles and acts like a hard man. Colback has been poor this year but then again almost everyone has.
 
Bardsley. There must be loads of full backs in world football who play on the wrong side of the field. Wingers switch wings during a game. No reason why full backs couldnt do the same.
 
Are you kidding, really? Did you watch the West Brom game, properly?

I watched it, but I can't actually remember that one ATM. I'm more commenting on the criticism he got against Liverpool when it wasn't down to him.

He's ginger, from Newcastle, therefore he's never going to be anything but a natural scapegoat.
 
local lads get a harder ride IMO [certainly on here]

henderson was shite, noble was crap before he'd ever pulled on a shirt...
I'd say that's more young lads than local lads, if you get any hype surrounding you and you aren't immediately good enough to make a Premiership starting 11 then God help you, even if you're like 18 :lol:

Wait for the first poor showing from Mavrias or DMK, some of the SMB footballing cognoscenti will make Ellis Short look like a man with nothing but patience.

Why do people do this man, rather than come back with proper reasoning for their argument, it's f***ing pathetic. Nobody has said that

I couldn't give a fuck if he's ginger or a mag as a kid, my issue with him is he's f***ing useless

He's not useless though, why do people come out with comments like that which clearly aren't true, when an opinon is split between a player? I'm offering a very valid reason why he's an easy target for abuse. Unfortunately this is the way it works with many of our fans.

Go through the WBA goal I forget if you like, that would have been a better reponse from you.
