What about this lad we bought for close to £1m from bury ? Give him a go - Chester is decent but I think he has regressed since taking the captaincy and doesn't seem the vocal type for that role - his recent article suggested he felt uncomfortable criticising players . give lansbury the captaincy and take the weight off Chester - let the lad from bury have a few games if needed rather than samba who is slow and past it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Guys it's only a trial! How about we wait until we sign him and he plays and looks awful before we use this one to shout Bruce out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This is really just wtf territory. Truly desperate even to be letting him have a trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve is running out of formations to play so we might see a 6-3-1 against Derby. Samba, Elphick, Chester, Baker as centre backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a trial at Crystal Palace and didn't get offered a contract, we're looking at him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted February 22, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2017 Wow there are some over reactions on here to this! How is bringing in experienced cover for an injury prone player deserving of such negativity? Id be disappointed to see Elphic as part of a back 4 again...yet this is what we are going to see in a few weeks if another player is not bought in. Id be worried if this were anything other than covering bets..but theres nothing to suggest there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
