Colo and demicelles have been rocks for jonas. His interview was saying as such. Colo's mind has been clearly elsewhere which would explain alot. Top man as always.
 
It does concern me about Colo. Playing sports when you have external distractions is extremely dificult for some. Some can carry on and perform but it all depends on the individual and circumstances.
 
Saylor for saturday?

I don't know about that. This is the problem when you have weak options like Saylor and Mbiwa. To then loan one out is even worse because then you don't even have the option of "best of a bad bunch" relating to form etc. It all does beg the question as to why we didn't resolve these issues. Colo is getting on anyway. I just don't get why we didn't sell Saylor and Mbiwa, then replace them with players who knew the league/had good quality. I suppose you have to find buyers for them and in both cases, that may have been difficult.

Our whole defensive transfer strategy is ****ed up in my opinion.

No I'd bring Saylor in for Willo after last weekend. Willo's defending was astoundingly bad. The mistake for the 2nd was quite simply pre school. I think unless as a manager you actually show there are consequences to that kind of display, you'll never focus the minds. Colo was bad of course, but Willo was horrific.

I was taking the piss mate. I'd rather pardew slipped his old boots on than that fist pumping **** embarrassing himself.
 
Maybe, a change may have to be necessary. None of the young lads though - throwing them into the inevitable cauldron it would most likely kill their careers before they started.

Agree. I never buy into this "nothing to lose" attitude with young players. Same at the end of the last campaign. Introduce them when the going is good, not when your senior players are playing like a bunch of ****wits and have you in a hole. Why should their careers suffer. Obviously some like young Aarons this season, stake a case which is hard to ignore. However I think roles in the spine are a bit different. Colo would be a good guy to introduce a young lad in alongside in normal circumstances. Not in the current one.
