Painter to carry on (From The Argus)

Credit where it is due Marcos.

...and Vicente?

Iam pleased for Marcos; he ook his chance on Saturday and deserves a run. Loyal service too.....

I sincerely, hope that Kuszczak is not really "fighting" to dislodge Brezovan!! Every time Brezovan's name was mentioned on Saturday I broke out in a cold sweat! He inspires so little confidence and for such a big guy certainly does not command his area at all. He is not up to this level at all and I am still having nightmares about his positioning in the hammering we received at Upton Park last year!! I suspect Kuszczak is a foregone conclusion if fit and if not, Ankergen shades it for me...........just!

Agreed. Excellent professional. With Bridge no doubt needing more than another week - we always seem over optimistic on injury returns to put it mildly - great opportunity for Marcus.
Just digressing, for me this is the most attractive fixture so far this season. A chance to see Kevin Davies and a clutch of interesting players ..Spearring, Ngog, Knight, possibly Petrov, Warnock I think they have David Wheater as well. Tough game but with the right team selection - Hoskins and Dobbie to be in the mix - very confident.

As we at home for next two games - Dobbie and /or Hoskins please ! We (the Amex crowd) deserve top notch entertainment as well as 6 points. Ps looks like BZ out for a while at QPR.

What's all this talk of hosk going on loan to barnsley that the Yorkshire papers are.still reporting?!!!

Yes, and to the main thread, delighted for Marcus. A strong, hard working professional, who has been patient and deserves to keep his place Saturday. Pace may well prevent a long run in the side, especially against some of the more potent attacking forces, but it would be great if he capitalised on the opportunity.

Good on you Marcus, I have every confidence in you.

'Carry on Painter,' sounds like an old movie title.

It's a good chance for Painter but more importantly it is good that we can fill the space vacated by Bridge with confidence in the replacement.

El-Abd will probably dislodge Dunk and Brezovan will go to the bench. Crofts I would guess will be on the bench too.

David Beckham will play his last game for LA Galaxy in a couple of weeks but he is not retiring. Beckham is looking for one more challenge before he retires, he would find that with as as midfield playmaker, go get him Gus.

Well played at Huddersfield Marcos,and good luck for the weekend,i was a little concerned at having 3 changes to the back 5,but you lads were as good as the challenge.

Read in the paper this morning about Kaz involved in a punch-up,does anyone know if that is why he has`nt had a game?.UTA

I wonder if Harry Redknapp is connected with the Beckham move, he did try to bring him to Spurs a couple of seasons back.
The MLS standard is very similar to our Championship level, maybe Beckham's, 'one last challenge,' is to help the team Redknapp is ocnnected with get promotion.

For the life of me I can't recall which club Redknapp is currently advising.

No thanks!!
Don't need any more midfielders.

Bournemouth I think. I am not sure if he is still given Howe's return as Manager.

We will miss Bridge (obviously…) but I hope that the application apparently displayed by Painter on Saturday continues in his absence (depth of squad etc). I share the misgivings about the keeper situation and base this on some very poor displays last season. These misgivings are not helped by the displays of TK this season which have been outstanding (best keeper in the league). The 'friendly ghost' for me... If TK's finger is still infected.
I wish Bobby Z all the best, no chance of him coming here now, if there ever was… Perhaps Murray could have the decency to leave football and become a monk, which would also put paid to some of the endless recycling and rubbish put on here.
It's Christmas soon and my mate Gus has presents for everyone... Whilst I do not wish to ponder his sack for longer than necessary, I feel that my Xmas wish of a new striker ( I know Hosko's back and our problems are solved but you will see my pretties, you will see) is still on the cards.
Perhaps our intrepid Argus journalist could ask at one of the press conferences whether 'my mate Gus' still considers this necessary and if funds are available in January, especially with our upcoming assault on the play off places.
Anyway, looking forward to Saturday, two strikers in a 4-4-2 anyone… Well maybe Bolton will.

Haha Beckham will not go where Redknapp goes and the MLS up to Championship standard?! Having reported on the MLS and now a reporter in the UK that is crazy! I'd prob go as far as saying MLS standard is League 2 at best.

If Painter gets over the halfway line he gets a nosebleed, how anyone can consider him in the same breath as Bridge is beyond me & i would rather see Calderon play,even at left back.

Reports over here say that Beckham is, 'probably,' heading for PSG.

The standard of soccor in the MLS has improved greatly over the last few years and in my humble opinion the upper half of the league teams would certainly hold their own in the championship.

It is still the case that the better american players are leaving to play in europe but the game in general is is good shape.

Quick! Tell Gus, as he obviously got it wrong last weekend. Oh, hang on a minute....

And I don't actually think anyone was comparing Painter with Bridge, it is obvious there is a difference in class. But, by all accounts, he did well at Huddersfield.

I can't help thinking that Painter benefitted from not having been in any of the video that Hudds would have watched to prepare for us.
If he is expected in the side, he may well be targetted as the weakest link in the defence.

Top post my friend.I said from the start here we go again he will be out for weeks.Have we got doctor Fox working on the clubs medical team.More freeloaders on big money on the clubs wage bill for know good reason.You now also know i was 100% right about LuaLua a few weeks back.But we can't post about it.

Which moron first,lowerbeedingse
agull,NO ONE has considered MP in the same breath as WB,where did you get that from.freeloader i know your knowledge of football is as big as you ,and frankly i will be looking to you for all my future information on the Albion,because you are so intelligent,so much so,that i know you will agree 3-1 to the Albion,is a likely result, on Dec 1st ..UTA

What is very clear tug509 is you just wait for me to post.You never post on here before me & never have anything constructive to say about the club.Its clear you are a weak small minded child that can't think for himself.You are just a soft little boy that freeloads off his rich parents.

First of all i dont have rich parents,i was adopted and pretty much took care of myself from 15,as for never posting before you,go back over this thread and you will see that i did.You see that is why i have a pop at you,you never get anything right!.

Work responsibilities and personal situation stops me from seeing as many games as i would like,so i try not to talk about what i dont know,you should try that sometime.

But my biggest gripe is that you never seem happy with the Albion,always having a sideways dig,so exactly who do you support?. UTA

Yes,i have seen MP play on quite a few occasions,and while he is no WB,you have to give credit where it is due,and on saturday at Huddersfield he gave his all,from all accounts,certainly a few lads on here that saw the game believe so.

I would love to see WB back as soon as possible,but if MP plays against Bolton,and makes a winning contribution,im sure we will all be happy. Any player that gives his all is worthy of respect,and needs to know they are appreciated by the fans.

I get your point about IC,sometimes i think he is undervalued,but with 3 changes in the back 5 last week,it was hard to keep a descent balance,and they scored when that balance shifted after MP being subbed (absolutely not blaming IC). UTA

Perhaps we will continue this after Saturday if Painter plays again & you get the chance to watch him. Mark my words his contribution going forward will have no significant effect on the game!!

Agree completely,he is very limited going forward,unlike your friend and mine Ini,but i will be content if he does a job and keeps davies out!.

If will Buckley is played on the left,then Marcos painters only job is to defend and when possible lay the ball of to him,im sure no one expects him to make the terrific runs Wayne does.Dont forget we should have Adam back for Bolton,and with a bit of luck Tomasz.UTA
