LaticsLee Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 i dont get why he starts ahead of parker ? parker is much more of a attacking player and is much more of a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehobbit Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 cause parker is a lazy uninterested muppet. If parker had a bit of fire in him he would be starting everyweek but he doesnt seem arsed most of the time and then yesterday when we really needed to hold the ball in the 2nd half he started trying hollywood back heels - hes a plank Colbeck actually a decent crossed put in a very good cross in the 1st after taking on goldbourne but he just has nothing else.

dave_ragg1984 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Colbeck is piss poor. But at least he puts a shift in, which cant be said for that lazy bugger that is Keigan Parker. Never have I seen a player so lacking interest. One of the biggest wastes of space I have ever seen in a blue shirt. He makes Richard Butcher seem committed.

Parker had one good game against Colchester playing on the right wing ... after their left back had been sent off! Anyone doing the math here?

futchers briefs Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 As has been said (ish)..Colbeck, whilst certainly not setting BP alight yet and unfairly imo has inherited the usual 'short term thinking' boo boy - is still young enough to learn and develop his game, his confidence seems to be improving game on game and whilst he still looks like he is adapting to a division above, he puts in a shift, offers us natural width and if he starts to believe in himself, will begin to get quality balls in. However as some have already noticed with his away performances, he is more likely to do it away from home at the moment - less pressure, whinging etc. So give the lad a chance, get behind him and i'm sure he'll put the effort in - unlike Parker,whom does look more effective from the bench, for about 10minutes and then he must think he's earned his corn then. I know which one i'd rather back - and it isn't the 'so far unimpressive journeyman!!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Colbeck and Parker are the only players we have who can put a decent ball into the box. Colbeck was our best player by far at Walsall, and from the reports i've read had a good game at Norwich and Brighton too, i've yet to see him play well at home though. there lies his problem. he may actually be an average league one player but if he is inconsistent, especially, especially at home then what ise is he to us?

eyres_28 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Lacks a bit of pace. Finishing looks iffy. The lad can cross a ball though. has the 1st touch of a blind elephant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyres_28 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Parker's a decent winger. He just never gets played there. parker is a lazy sod who seems to want to stroll though the next 5years of his playing career picking up a cheque with very little effort or desire to achieve things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma06 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) there lies his problem. he may actually be an average league one player but if he is inconsistent, especially, especially at home then what ise is he to us? How many of our players are not inconsistent though? Gregan (though he was a bit dodgey at times yesterday) and Abbott are the only two really. Colbeck is still young enough to improve though and at the moment who else do we have to play on the wings? And whoever we play out there has no-one to aim for in the box anyway at the moment. When we have a fully fit squad i doubt Colbeck will make the first 11 but until then we don't have many other options. I don't really like him that much myself but he has been getting a lot of stick and most of it as been uncalled for, he has a bit of pace to get past a full back and can pick out a good cross and puts the effort in, you can't really ask much else at this level. Hopefully with a some decent coaching his control and positional sense will improve Edited December 13, 2009 by Gemma06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dish Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 who would people rather have Keigan Parker with skill and no interest or Joe Colbeck with interest and no skill? I know who you'd rather have...... (for anyone who doesn't know Bowl, he's the one who sits in the RRE with 'Colbeck' on the back on his replica kit).

Prendy_1984 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Id Put Parker On Left Smalley On the Right Blackman And Heffs Up front. Thats just me though. People are slating Colbeck for running down blind alleys and not putting crosses in and you suggest putting Smalley there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futchers briefs Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 yeah because he actually has quailty, colbeck dosent. Without turning this into a Smalley v Collbeck/Parker debate, as they are all very different players and on their day all have something to offer the team - I will say that if Smalley can start to show an ounce of the desire and workrate that Collbeck puts in, there would be no debate about it, as that is what Smalley looks to lack at times.

LaticsLee Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 yeah but smalley can actually beat men and has alot of pace. colbeck seems to run into defenders not around them. i agree about smalley not showing the desire or workrate that colbeck does but the hard cold truth is that smalley is so much better than colbeck as a overall player.

When has he beat a man? When has he put a cross in? He is gash. He put his goal away well yesterday and for the next 10 minutes he put more effort in than he has all season. Why does it take a goal for him to give a :censored:. He's a big lad but I haven't once seen him use his strength to beat a man or win the ball.

He's a big lad but I haven't once seen him use his strength to beat a man or win the ball. Look at last season. he was beating men for fun, this season he hasnt been as good but still is alot better than colbeck. Colbeck is a league 2 player and thats it. i still dont understand why we have signed him because he is totally gash. Even the bradford fans where happy to see him go. Smalley carnt be that gash if he is always being linked to a move to a championship club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prendy_1984 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Who has linked Smalley with the championship? He'll end up league 2 at best within the next 3 years. He has shown absolutely no development since he started his career. I have seen Colbeck put in better crosses than Smalley has, I agree he weren't worth a fee but that was hardly his fault.
