All players get older, their fitness and effectiveness invariably suffers at which point it is beholden on the manager to see this, act accordingly by releasing said player not hanging onto him .


Someone earlier mentioned Shawcross, i thought ages he would suit us, a tough no nonsense defender. Him alongside Stones could be interesting. I also though before Chelseas stepped in we should have gone for Cahill.

Distin never seems to get injured. Fitness, well physical fitness, is not a problem with him.

I love Distin. I really do.

Time to realise he's not a regular starter any more.

For him and some fans.

Stones is the way to go.

I mentioned this the other day, but stats this season:


Tackles per game
Distin: 1.7
Jags: 1.3

Interceptions per game
Distin: 1.7
Jags: 1.4

Clearances per game:
Distin: 9.5
Jags: 8.9



If Distin is past it, what is Jagielka?

Jagielka scored a thunder [Poor language removed] in the 93rd kop end though. He gets allowed in with this.

All humour aside I think that's a big factor. People were on his back and then after that moment things changed. Don't get me wrong, what a fecking moment it was, but he is a CB at the end of the day, and he's played more games than any of our other CBs this season. Oh, and only Leicester and QPR have conceded more than us.

Yeah they've both been poor really. Very very poor.

Distin's errors somehow seem more obvious.

Yes, you're both right in my view. There's no excuse for the walking disaster of Distin though as you say.

Don't get me wrong, they've both been piss poor, I just hate seeing Distin singled out.

Personally Stones and Distin is a pair I'd like to see. A right footer and a left footer, and the pairing that brought us our best run of form last season. Of course Jags is the captain, but is he really all that as a captain? I'd love to see McCarthy with the armband, or heck, even Naismith. I suspect the other players would get a lot more noise in their ears.
