Was immense yesterday. I can see him being the next big thing here at North End this season. Everything he did, besides one or two passes, was spot on... He's impressed me every time I've seen him so far, and yesterday was no exception.

Chilvers, however, doesn't look half the player. He kept leaving his man and the first goal was down to him in my eyes. Maybe he'll get better as the season goes on. St. Ledger was class yesterday though...

Keep it up lad.
 
Re: Sean St. Ledger...

i personally think chilvers has improved since the start of the season and will continue to do so as the season goes on.

st ledger has just done well since coming into the side.

both have made crucial mistakes this season but have bounced back from them. lets not forget who they have replaced.
 
Re: Sean St. Ledger...

I wasn't impressed with Chilvers at all pre-season, and not at the start of the season either. He has, however, been improving every game IMO, so I have kept my criticisms to myself.

'The Saint', on the other hand, has been excellent so far. He can only get better IMO and has certainly been a fantastic signing. Can easily see him soon becoming a fans favourite ala Claude + Nuge etc.
 
Re: Sean St. Ledger...

I wasn't impressed with either of them yesterday! The holes in the defence were huge at points and were very lucky to only concede one goal.

Not taking anything away from Simmo's achievements so far, getting us 3rd etc but yesterday we mugged them and as both a team and individually we weren't worth much praise.

Re: Sean St. Ledger...

they both struggled against two big strikers yesterday at times and st ledger had his hands full with steve howard at derby two weeks ago. however despite the problems they come up against you can't fault their commitment imho.

st ledger reminds me a lot of mick flynn who was a hero here for the way he always gave everything he could. the incident in the first half when he repeatedly threw himself in the way of those shots to save a goal was fantastic and just like flynn would have done. everyone will love him for that kind of commitment, determination and bravery.

if i were the gaffer i'd be pleased with most of his defending work and a lot of his play when in possession. there's always things to work on for all players to improve and i'd like to see him maybe improve a little bit on his ball distribution. sometimes it's great but i feel he probably needs to be a bit more consistent in playing quality passes.

overall i'm impressed with him and to a slightly lesser extent chilvers too.

let's not forget how crap the rest of the team were yesterday at keeping possession and attacking the stoke defence. our defenders had a big share of the work to do yesterday and did well to keep them down to one goal.

He couldn't cope with Howard, but the kid should have a big future if he knuckles down.

Selling Flynny was Beck's biggest mistake.

Couldnt' agree more. Chilvers is terrible, was at fault for the goal and also hacked down Hendrie a couple of yards outside the box resulting in a very dangerous free kick.
 
Re: Sean St. Ledger...

Wouldn't go as far as to say Chilvers is terrible but he certainly hasn't settled into this league as well as SStL. Real question is what has Kelvin Wilson do to get dropped? At the end of last season he easily slotted in next to Claude when Mawene was out and I don't understand why he doesn't get a look in at present. OK, he's no Alexander but that's not what he came to be.
