    He's looked very dodgy in our last handful of games, positionally found wanting on many occasions and seems unable to keep the rest of the back line in check.

    Regardless of who he is partnered with now it seems to make not one iota of difference.

    We're gonna need 2 new quality CB's either in Jan or next summer at this rate like !

    Think he is trying to hard to protect young Alnwick whilst having ****e around him! He has been dropping deeper and deeper every game and that is causing issues. Needs to have faith in Alnwick. Alnwick is afraid to come for the ball and command his area (not set pieces) and with Colo dropping further back Alnwick is shying away! Colo needs to man up, and yes we may still concede a couple of goals but Alnwick will grow. At the moment Alnwick looks lost!

    No but he has been utter gash of late. Regardless of Alnwick, Willo or any other excuse used, nothing detracts from the fact our captain is playing well below his best. He looks like the clown of his first season. We need a centre back badly.

    Was brilliant up to the Chelsea game but since then everything you say is correct. Think yesterday was the first time we'd conceded more than one without Williamson in the team though.

    His form has been patchy for years. He really shouldn't be built for this league, or the way we of all teams play, but he's done well to forge a career here. Against teams like Stoke or Sunderland he's usually embarrassing. Get a strong, tall lag against him, game over.

    He is currently playing the worse out of our CB's and on current form doesn't warrant a place. Awfull to the ball over the top and constantly gets caught out of position.IF we get knocked out of the cup, and Leicester looked good against Spurs and were very unlucky, I would start and blood our younger CB's like Streete into the side.

    Colo has been poor, but so have the entire back 5. Why do we constantly mess around at the back? I swear all of our recent thumpings have been largely attributed to the fact that we are always trying to pass the ball out, when clearly we need to clear our lines. I've lost count of the amount of times we've surrendered the ball in our own area and it's lead to a goal or a clear goal scoring opportunity. We've got to get our defending back to basics. But yeah, Colo has been a big part of the problem.

    I will never leave the side of Colo. Too much love there and I hate Dummett, Williamson and Saylor as should anyone, unless they have been recently violently lobotomised.

    He's been woeful and Willo has been taking a lot of the stick. If we're looking at our main three CB's I have to say that they're all pretty poor, and Colo has never been a very effective captain on the pitch.

    I also hate seeing Tiote on the pitch as well. Possibly the most useless defensive midfielder I've seen in a while, he is far far too negative, constantly turning around whenever he's on the ball and attempting to pass back. Not to mention, despite his comparison to Chuck Norris, the guy isn't strong enough, and if he can't overpower someone he usually just fouls which explains his high amount of yellow cards.
