didn't have the best pre-season and not a fantastic start but remember who's boots he was trying to fill. personally i think the lad is playing better and better and has looked solid over the last few games. certain players for whatever reason get picked on and bemoaned over every touch. he's playing as part of a very fluid back four ( i would like to see Lucketti knock the ball around like him ) who have only lost one in seven. I think its time for everyone to wipe the slate clean as they have with agyemang and get behind the lad.

was it that long ago claud was getting things thrown at him and booed off at burnley

Re: liam chilvers

And lets remember he was brought in on a free as an understudy to Mawene, not a million pound signing.

I agree, stick with him, he`s getting better by the game.
 
Re: liam chilvers

i thought he had an excellant game last night. Not many will sort Hartson as effectively as he did.

Hey Thonker, you had better be careful, first I find that you may have stood next to me at some pre-historic game and NOW I agree with you on something 😱
 
Re: liam chilvers

Credit where its due chilvers played really well last night. I haven't really liked what I've seen up till last night but if he plays like that every game it will do for me.
 
Re: liam chilvers

I agree. Looking more of a solid player with every game. Good distribution as well, including a couple of inch perfect long balls out to the wings. Hope folk start laying off the guy.
 
Re: liam chilvers

I thought chilvers did realy well last night, when you consider hes a young lad, relativly little experience and he was up against Hartson and Phillips, possibly one of the best strike partnerships in the division, not forgetting Ellington coming off the bench. Some of the best centre backs in the league will struggle agiasnt those 2/3 strikers. I think the combination of strength/size (chilvers) and pace/agility (st ledger) has the potential to work really well in this league.

I was also impressed with some of chilvers passes out of defence, especially that right footed cross field bal lto the right wing he plays quite often.
 
Re: liam chilvers

from what i've seen of chilvers, he has certainly improved. he's not the best yet but is doing enough to warrant starting. nash hugged both st ledger and chilvers last night at the full time whistle to congratulate them on helping to keep a clean sheet against a very good west brom side. wilson who is waiting in the wings is a very capable understudy. its looking very good for us. just need a bit of experience in there.
 
Re: liam chilvers

He certainly looks more assured now, and cant half pick a pass. Only concern with him and sledge centrally is lack of height.

Lack of height. I thought chilvers was tall. he looks it on the pitch?
 
Re: liam chilvers

Chilvers didn't do much IMO, mind he was marking a has been whose somewhat overweight, how hard would that be....?!

He won 2 headers (not enough for a centre half) and miss kicked 2 clearances - which could've had us in trouble!! Was everyone watching the same game as me????

I don't rate him and he's not that young either he's 25 in November.... Against quality strikers he'll be found out....
 
Re: liam chilvers

Yeh that's what I thought until I seen them lastnight, they were crap!!!
If they're gonna play like that I'd love us to play them every week...!
Watch the highlights on Whites World I saw at least 2 mistakes my Chilvers which on another day could've cost us!

Carlo Nash & St Leger were the reasons we kept a clean sheet lastnight mate!
 
Re: liam chilvers

I'm sorry, but the lad did well last night.

Also, WBA do have the 3 best strikers in the league imo, hartson is good although slow and overweight he can finish when given the chance. Ellington came on and would have knocked it straight into the top corner had it not been for a top drawer save from Carlo. Kevin Phillips was not that good but did look as though he could cause problems if he was given a chance.

I think you must've been at a different game mate. He won two headers?!? Buy the DVD of the game and watch it.
 
Re: liam chilvers

He had a very good game. Give him a chance, folks. A very good signing, I expect, in the long run.
