Gordon Mockles Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 F**king outstanding. Nothing got past him. Couldn't agree more. Didn't make a mistake & looked comfortable, assured & made the game look simple & easy. Reads the game superbly. Best defender since Svensson. Being fair to all, the entire squad performed exceptionally (Lambert, Puncheon was awesome, Barnard had his best game, entire squad. Waigo did really well as he often does to all but those blind detractors...Nineteen will no doubt concentrate on the one offside, not the 2 assists to Lallana (1 goal, the other should have been), the times he got into goods scoring positions, put his trademark low balls (so difficult to defend) across the box but no-one sadly could there as it just passed the player on near post) & his passes which he does time & again, across a crowded box, straight to Rickie's feet...superb! I love Puncheon. Real attacking menace we've lacked since....oh, Berkovic n maybe?! Morgan was great today, spraying passes left , right & centre. Ostemebor got forward lots but dunno how convincing his ball winning skills are. Only criticism was why Barnard was subbed first when AP keeps saying (damn right) that Lambert needs a rest. 7 mins hardly gonna save his legs! Come on! Usual shambles of linesman & ref. Why have linesman? They just annoy you cos they don't serve a purpose. They get 50% of theseciaions wrong league one. FA cup ref was a rare treat! Just hope reports of Pardew storming out the ground (maybe cos of Cortese) aren't too ominous?! He wasn't happy after such a result on Solent!

Plumstead_Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Agree Fonte has been quality when I have seen him at Millwall and Norwich. As someone said on another thread, excellent January signing by AP - same as Barnard & Puncheon. Davis we all know is quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Pardew and his team have made some excellent decisions regarding our new signings...

Badger Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Hope he has no get-out clause relating to non-promotion this season. Had a similar thought on him recently and the likelihood of us staying in L1.Slight concern, if as expected, Colin W^nker takes over at QPR he will no doubt seek to bring in players he's found reliable at Palace.Fonte is likely to be one of them. Hope Fonte has realised,like most people in football already know, that CW is a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Fonte has realised,like most people in football already know, that CW is a tool. i wouldn't worry about losing players we've signed this year. Fonte signed with an outside chance of promotion, he always knew there was a chance he'd be playing L1 football next season. Same with Lambo, Punch etc - they'll all be here next year.

Badger Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Fonte just seems to glide through the air. Haven't seen him put a foot wrong since he signed. Probably just an age thing, but reading that did make him sound like an advert for Slimline bread ! But agree he is certainly a class above in this division(and the one above as well,as we hope to find out in the next season or so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFKA South Woodford Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 He may be class with the ball on the floor, but in my opinion he leaves a bit to be desired as far as his heading ability goes, he seems to either miss time his jump or gets out jumped for the ball fairly often.

Block 5 Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 Fonte is class and one of our most important assets. There aren't many CBs in L1 with his quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 I can't believe someone is slaggin Davis off.... Anyway, back to the point of the thread. Yes, he was excellent. Otsemebor also had a good game (although Walsall were pathetic and he was hardly challenged defensively). A defence next season of Harding - Fonte - Seabourne - Semi/Murty/another sigining should be formidable. We would win 90% of home games with that platform. This means you only need to win away one-in-three and pick up some draws to average two points a game. If the current squad is maintained over the summer and even added to in one or two areas we will be promoted. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jason Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 Too good for this league, has so much time on the ball at times it's like he walks through the game. Thats why AP signed him mate. AP has all ways said he's not just buying players to get us promoted, he's buying players that are good enough for the Championship!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
