    Morgan, he tells us most days.

    He's wrong though.

    Wasn't Pearson after Chester before he got Morgan?

    The one with the most clean sheets/fewest goals conceded in the league.

    Morgan is a decent enough larker but if soft lad thinks he's as good as Chester he's either pissed or on the rise.


    For a change.

    He bought Morgan in his first transfer window with us.

    Yes, because a teams goals conceded relies solely on one player. <doh>

    No.

    I think there is more than one defender on the pitch for one team, and a keeper to boot...

    Absolutely, but Wes is THE reason we've got the record.

    It has got a bit sidetracked.

    My next post isn't going to help.

    THE reason? <laugh>

    What about Schmeichel then? The man who actually keeps the ball out of the net?

    Schmeichel has to make about 1/2 saves every game. Thats down to Wes Morgan's brilliance.

    Don't you even dare suggest another defensive player, we all know that Morgan does it all on his own, without any help from anyone else! ;)

    Joking aside, AKCJ, if you say that Morgan has kept the most clean sheets and has the best defensive record in the league, then the fact that Chester only plays in a back 3 and Morgan plays in a back 4, must alert you?

    anyways, it's all a matter of opinion, no matter how stupid or deluded that opinion is.

    Chester plays in a back 3 as much as we play with a back 2.


    I'm not suggesting that Chester is a bad player, he's a young lad and will probably be a better player than what Wes is now in a few years. Wes is supposed to be in his prime now.

    Thought Morgan was poor at the KC on Boxing Day, thought Faye bullied him from set pieces. Nevertheless to be fair Morgan is a top quality centre half not on the same level as Chester though.

    ...and I thought that Chester was poor that day, too.

    Nugent (who had a particularly poor game) pulled him all over the shop and won everything in the air against him.

    I'm certain he was sniffing around Chester before getting Morgan.
