Allardyce could pick a centre half

But then he could convert em as well - how much use did we get out of Micky Whitlow and Simon Charlton there! Now we have a 6'6 monster with all the centre half attributes and we cant get a performance to rival those two fullbacks!

Did it the other way around too. Campo came over and was 'wrong' at CH & he then re-invented the position 'just in front of the back four'.

Did that with Faye too, and I seem to remember somebody doing it with Mark Fish, not entirely sure if it was Allardyce mind.

Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh left before Allardyce got here I thought, so Colin Todd
And, I don't remember him playing midfield! Andy Todd did I think, but he was shite there. Couldn't catch people to punch them.

Todd signed Fish, who IMO always looked far better than he actually was.

I thought Fish left after Allardyce's first season along with Jensen and Gudjohnsen, I could be wrong though.

Fish was a brilliant player, who relied far too much on his recovery pace and always had one-mistake-a-match in him.

Little bit contradictory there...

Not very keen on one-mistake a match centre halves!

A brillaint footballer player isn't the same as a brilliant centre half. You need to read more carefully.

Sorry I knew what you meant and yes I agree.

Well perhaps very good as opposed to brilliant...

Not the sort of centre half I'd choose though.

Yep...

Though the "one fish in Grimsby" chant takes some beating....

He did make the best tackle ever on Michael Owen...

Well yes. One tackle doth not a centre half make. Though.

That was Rod Wallace.

Indeed, we shall never forget Gerald Cid. And Jon-Gope Fenepej. And, of course, Ndiwa Lord Kangana...

Hierro was also shocking at centre-back - remember the bumming at Carrow Road? - before Sam's switcharoo to playing him as a deep regista (not that amazing a jump in Nando's case, he'd played there lots for Madrid & Spain)

Campo too was shocking at CB. Rahdi Jaidi anyone? Or maybe Lubomor Michalik?

BWFC_Insane · Post by **BWFC_Insane** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 11:31 am

Meite was a bit shit too!

Always said Jaidi was good for 15-20 goals a season... Half at each end...
