Thought he had a decent game today and after a slow start he seems to be coping in the division.

Anyone know why he was the only member of the team not to celebrate in the huddle for every goal today? Each time we scored he just walked back into his position while all other players ran over to celebrate. Apparently he has done this at other games this season.

He would be too shagged out by the time he ran back to his mark. No only kidding. Yeh he has been quality the last few games and is makiung his mark nicely now. BTW his distribution is far better than Lucketti and Claude Davis.
 
Re: Chilvers

He's the most laid back player ive ever seen. He never looks panicked. I wasn't convinced at first, but he's certainly winning me over with each and every game.

Yeah I've seen him at a few games not joining in with the team. Hopefully that's just his laid-back way, rather than him not getting on with anyone. Personally I'm a fan of Kelvin, and can't wait to see him get his chance at centre-back.

Gutted I couldn't be there today, apparently it was amazing. Damn work and all it entails!

Sledger kept him company for at least one of the goal celebs.
 
Re: Chilvers

Everytime we score EVERYBODY should be celebrating with the goalscorer. I think perhaps as captain Alexander needs to have a word and make sure this happens in future games because although its such a simple thing it is good for squad morale.

As for Chilvers, he has certainly improved and has got used to the step-up in quality. He's not the quickest but he's got used to playing alongside St Ledger and continues to work hard.

We could do with him being a bit more vocal, especially when defending set-pieces because we do seem to have a bit of a problem there, but he's proven just why Simpson decided to "gamble" on him.
 
Re: Chilvers

I think he just like to concentrate on his game and not waste too much energy and get too emotional. Remember that time when he got a goal disallowed agains Sheff Wed, instead of him complaining, like some of our other players was, he just ran back to defende imidiatelly. I don`t think that he is not getting on with people. But he surely seems to be getting better and better with his duties.

It's a bit unfair asking poor Carlo to leg it from one end of the pitch to the other, and then get back again! He would have been knackered this afternoon!
 
Re: Chilvers

If chilvers is SO bad why have pne conceded the LEAST amount of goals in the league? We have only shipped 9 along with Cardiff. He must be doing something right???!!!!
 
Re: Chilvers

it must be hard having to adjust to a league of a higher standard, some settle in straight away some dont. Like Sledge for example, seems to adapted pretty much straight away where as chilvers has taken a little longer. Still a good player and a good signing. He is getting more and more comfortable as each game goes by.

Dont forget he was an trainee at Arsenal so if they saw some promise in him them he cant be too bad can he
 
Re: Chilvers

I think some people can't forget the incident with Bothroyd at Wolves and are reluctant to let go of the judgement they made at that moment. The fact is that Chilvers has made consistent progress since then - he even improved visibly during that game. He is obviously not a new Claude Davis - he isn't that athletic or fast - but he is something of a new Lucketti. But though he may not be as dominant in the air as Lucketti could be, he is more composed and creative when he has the ball at his feet. Personally I don't think that is a bad trade-off.
 
Re: Chilvers

Good job he was on the field yesterday as he definitely stopped Sunderland from scoring twice! 😀 Would have been a completely different match if he hadn't have been stood where he was to clear the ball off the line.
 
Re: Chilvers

I noticed for the third goal that whilst everyone else was celebrating simmo was barking orders at chilvers. They say you are most vulnerable at the back when you have just scored so maybe having someone that clear headed is a good thing.
 
Re: Chilvers

I remember his performance at Wolves- he was woeful in the first half and could have folded-but he didn't, he got his head down and worked hard and gradually improved. He's improved each game since. Good to have players champing at the bit and competing for places.

Couldn't agree more. Whats the point in your centre half (like when stumpy was here), running 80 yards to join in a celebration because your manager told you to do so because it wastes time.
Concentrate on the job, the 5 mins after you score is vital. You are in charge of the game then, keep it that way.....make sure your defenders are concentrating.
