George Friend.

What's all the fuss about this guy? Nearly every goal conceded has got this clown in the thick of it. How many goals have we conceded where the ball is play around him or over the top and he is caught flat footed and chasing shadows? His timing, decision making and marking are bloody aweful. It's been said many times that we need a centre back and when we get one, he has to take this muppets place.

Benaldo, Sam Hird is soooooooooooo 2010.

What about Wilson? This guy has got to take blame as well. And Lewis Guy. And Dennis Souza. What about Adam Hughes and Nic Priet? They have a lot to answer for.

There's a small hole in the side wall of one of the bogs in the South Stand. Push a tenner through it at half time of the Coventry game and I'll see what I can do.

It`s not about what you get, it`s about having fan representation at the club

Should he push anything else through, just to sweeten the deal?

Actually, you get a share in the club, and we are discussing strengthening the benefits of membership for next season.  We have yet to agree them with the club, but watch this forum for updates nearer the time.

Id do anything for this cool green logo....... Except from shove 10ners in holes.

I rate George. I dont suppose it helps having a shite midfield in front of him.

Me too - at the moment show me any of our squad who haven't made mistakes. Friend always gives 100%, is prepared to put his body on the line to block shots, will put a tackle in and has saved us 2-3 goals by clearing off the line. OK he's far from perfect but there's a lot more players ahead of him I'd drop if I had to and a couple of central defenders too

[GazLaz]

Friend is overrated. I don't deal in opinion I deal in facts. He is good in one on one situations, comfortable on the ball (which is why he used to look goof under Sean) and has got great endevor BUT his positioning is woeful, he gets dragged around and if he has people running in behind him he is clueless. Shelton is by far our best CH but is always lame. Shame dat.

[bobjimwilly]

I think it speaks volumes when you see the current man of the match table: http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=1000003&id=174328&Itemid=108

I like those green arrows showing players who are climbing the table

And I agree with the sentiment, surely so many people can't be wrong

[Surrey Rover]

George Friend is just one of so many of the current squad that are not quite good enough for the Championship. I wouldn't question his work rate or application for one minute but at this level that's not enough. 23 points from the last 37 games tells its own story about the players we have at the moment sadly.

Having watched Gordon Greer again tonight I feel he is better than any of the centre backs we currently have at the club.

No case to answer for me a fantastic player!

Sometimes you have to look how much pressure the midfield is putting on the whole team. The games I have seen he has the MOTM by mile but maybe only Jesus Christ could stop the waves of attacks that happen cos sure to hell our midfield dont!

It's a fact that people rate him as a better player than what he actually is. Like I said some parts of his game are excellent. Some are poor.

Is that so?

[inSODwetrust]

If he couldn't tackle he wouldn't be a proffessional footballer.

[Mark Mccammon]

Martis the best centre back. hahahahahahahahahahaha. He runs round like hes carrying someone on his back and seems to have a satellite delay for balls hit over the top.

The 2 best centre halfs we have, have played the last 2 games.

[Wellred]

Says a lot about our midfield then doesn't it? Not many of them can tackle yet they get paid a damn site more than I do. Would you class them as professional footballers?

[Mark Mccammon]

We should also ask Ferguson if we can have Berbatov and Carrick to play centre half. Leeds didn't score then.

Trust me, after Blackpool scored their last minute winner last Tuesday I really did question our midfield's ability and their 'professionalism' and whether they warranted thousands of pounds a week! In fact when I walked into work Wednesday morning and some Rovers fans who couldn't make the game asked for a match report I simply said \"I wish I got paid all of that money to just give in easily and not do the basics of my job right\".

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Glad it's not just me who blames the midfield.  The defence can only hold out for so long and it's harsh on them when the opposition get forward much quicker than our guys track back.

I agree the midfield is part of the problem, but they can hardly take responsibility for a route one kick over the top by the goalkeeper which is allowed to bounce by the defence, and one toe-poke later is in the back of the net!
