Stevo985 Posted November 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2015 He hasn't been that bad at left back this season - I think he can fill in for now without it killing us. I wouldn't move Hutton, I think he's having a good season at right back and I wouldn't want to move Richards from CB under any circumstance. I agree, Richardson has been okay so far this season. There have been others that have been worse than him but he is the popular hate figure at the moment. As for the suggestions of putting Hutton at left back, well that's just ridiculousI thought I was the only one.I don't think Richardson is THAT bad. He's not brilliant, but he does a job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 He really isn't that bad at all. He does sometimes get caught out by pacey wingers and has a tendency to dive into tackles but with Garde in charge I feel confident in saying he will know how to set us up to help Richardson out when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 He's an okay defender. He's just a horrible footballer who ruins literally every attack he's involved in. Might as well not cross the half-way line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his limitations but I'm fine with him at left back for the time being. 6/10 player for me most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 He's done ok for someone we picked up on a free transfer. I don't see him slotting him in for Amavi as the deal breaker as to whether or not we get relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Field Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 He may not be great, but if the fans are on his back all the time it will only make things worse, we need to back him, like we back all the other players if we are to have any chance of survival. One of biggest strengths of Richardson is that he does/did seem to care, don't make him not care. I would understand the hate if he had actually done anything, but he helped us stay up and get to a cup final last season and I can't remember him saying anything wrong during his time here. I just don't get the hate. We must try to get the negativity out of the club, so give Garde a chance of creating a positive atmosphere. Remember that must of our players probably like Richardson and will get affected by your negativity against him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I was optomistic of going on a little run now.. but I cannot see us winning a game with Richardson at left back. An awful footballer.

VillanousOne Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 he's actually defended ok when he has played to be fair, not great but competent at times. But when he rushes forward he is like a headless chicken, he can't beat a man, he can't cross, he can barely pass, and he always give possession away leaving massive gaps. Which is odd because in his earlier career he could do all of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The only player who actually bothered in the FA Cup final. Let's see what Garde can get out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsub Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That's exactly right and in the semi he was one of our best players. 4 minutes ago, Spoony said: The only player who actually bothered in the FA Cup final.

Bunnski Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 He's extremely shit and gets caught out too many times for an experienced player and he offers nothing going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I think people claiming he's not bad are just hoping he's not as bad as he actually is because of the Amavi injury Make no qualms about it the bloke is woeful and were going to be targeted now down that side for the rest of the season just like we have been whenever he played under Sherwood and were going to concede because of it We looked solid against Man City because we played to a strict rigid system but Richardson simply doesn't have that in his locker i'm really not looking forward to see him getting caught out of position for the rest of the season and i hope we can bring Cissokho back in Jan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 First and foremost, he is a midfielder/left midfielder converted to a left back. It's his third position, only played because he is crap at the other two. I appreciate he's filled in there on an off his whole career, but 'filled in.'
