Erm no not by definition at all. Unless you imagine that Surman will get a load of stick the next time we play Norwich.

Not so sure about Guly. He is still inconsistent for me and not hugely improved from last year. With the others I agree.

Anyway good news, he has really stepped up this year and is probably our most improved player so far. Had my doubts but he is proving a lot of people wrong and fair play to him.

Of course you use me as an example. You are weirdly obsessed. Fwiw I never said anything of the kind.

When is the draw?

Yes I agree and it's the main reason that I really feel we need a CB who has that position nailed on like Fonte does. Could it be Jos? Maybe, but as you say he has his weak points and may be too early to tell.

Thanks Chez. Have always considered you to have a more realistic outlook than some so I trust what you say. Can't say he's ever been my favourite player and I'm surprised he wasn't sold in the summer. How did Jos do? Sounded pretty solid and hope he continues his progress. Also hope he is OK for Saturday though it sounds like Martin could do a job if needed.

Sounds like Jos is aving a great game. Fair play.

And neither did you see them in this case!

But also means: 'The state or fact of being synchronous or simultaneous; synchronism.'

Personally I think that is an unrealistic point haul.

Stop being a WUM Dalek.

Lol. Even I find this whooosh moment from the gooner amusing.

Pretty fair post that. I don't agree with all of it but overall it closely resembles my views. I think the timescale point is very true.

Sigh. You cannot read.

We need a striker to challenge for a first team place. We don't need a backup striker.

A home away from home.

No we really really don't.

That definitely shouldn't be the attitude. We don't need backup.

I think it's much too early to say either way. At the moment we are scoring for fun but down the line we could have a period where we create less, especially if someone gets an injury. I would like to see another option off the bench or pushing for a starting place.

I think that in general players divide opinion but that with recent signings, there has been a majority of opinion one way or the other. Dividing opinion isn't necessarily a negative thing, but it suggests possibly that different fans look for different strengths in a cb.

I think everyone does.

I am fully aware of what a consensus is, thanks for the patronising reply. Looking at the thread, I see some saying that he has improved but is still not of the quality we are looking for, some who think he has been solid so far and some that he is exactly what we need and that we should sign him if he continues the standard he has set so far. I can see there is a consensus that he had improved from the Forest game but otherwise I see a number of differing opinions. I don't see a 'generally accepted opinion' as to his ability and whether he is what we need so far. Obviously that is entirely understandable after just two games but I think the generally accepted opinion of the likes of Lallana and Cork is that they have been great this season? That is what I would call a consensus.
