Kieran Richardson

We've had an awful transfer window if Kieran bloody Richardson is still in the team despite the amount spent

He is part of the squad. Given how he performed today his selection was justified. We need players with his experience in the squad and he is no mug as he has played over 250 Prem games and is an ex England International.

The lad he replaced in Amavi looks a real good prospect but defensively has looked suspect and has made a number of errors perhaps understandably as he adjusts to the pace of the Prem league. Taking him out of the firing will do him no harm and I am sure he will be a fixture in our side again soon.

Plenty of sticks to beat the manager with but this call today isn't one of them. If anything it is one he should be applauded for. It is the nature of the beast though I guess as in almost every thread there is a twist somewhere to stick the knife into the manager when in reality it isn't needed as the results alone take care of that without looking for something that isn't there.

Amavi makes too many mistakes that costs us, even today he almost gifted them a goal, that's not to say he's not going to be a great left back for us, but again it is pretty dumb to put so much pressure on young shoulders.

Sherwood is not transitioning these young foreign players, maybe because he doesn't have that luxury, but throwing them in the deep end and watching them drown is pretty dumb.

Playing Richardson was actually a sound tactic and did us no harm what so ever.

Time to ditch him again....that 2nd goal. Gets sucked into the middle and gives Barrow or whoever the **** it was a free run down the pitch to cross in. We're desperate for points and his poor play gives them an easy chance to cross. Even at the end he needlessly gave away a corner which pretty much ended the game.

Amavi next game please, Richardson isn't good enough for a 38 game season.

As bad as he was Sherwood has to react to Monks sub who was troubling every time he had the ball...instead he sits does nothing and we concede coming from a cross where Richardson has been beaten by his man leaving space (where we have no cover due to formation).

IMO he has been picked as a **** you to the board for buying Amavi....Id also had that as bad as Cissoko was he is a better LB then Richardson he would have been. Better back up.

To be fair to Richardson, the second goal was not fully his mistake, he was marking Swansea's winger (Barrow) and no one was supporting him, making it 2v1 in Swansea's favour. Richardson followed Barrow which gave Naughton all the space in the world. Someone should have been supporting him and he made a very very bad choice.
