prev game Sol Bamba man of the match (nearly) last game, heavy legged, at fault for 2 goals.
Would the real Sol Bamba please stand up

More like Redders should have seen this coming and rested him for Del Fabro. As a rule of thumb, you rest a 30 year old after playing 7 consecutive matches. It also keeps fringe players interested so it's a win win. You are meant to use the squad.

That man reddders AGAIN

Absolute bollox. Why would you rest a CB after playing seven games on the trot, even if he is 30 ys old? Bamba been playing excellent, and just imagine the uproar if NR had rested him for Del Fabro. Don, t tell me an experienced manager would of seen a poor game for Bamba was due, because he was so knackered after 7 games on the spin?!
As a rule of thumb, then John Terry must be due a couple of MONTHS off as he's played almost continuously for these past five years and he is what, 35 yrs old?!
Some people have got it right in for Redfearn and i'm not sure why. For the 1st time in years we have a team who look UNITED and are actually playing with passion. But I forgot, he does not make enough subs, he has left Ajose out on loan, he plays Morison and something about a plan B!

Bamaba hasn't played much so perhaps he's struggling with fitness. Give Del Fabro a game, did more than well against Sunderland

Spot on Corky
Just an off game, nobody can legislate for that. We have a United team and things are slowly on the up!

Corky, John Terry is one of the greatest defenders to play the game. He earns what 100k a week. While I wish we had a defender of his calibre, comparing my remarks concerning a decent championship defender (Bamba) to Terry is hardly like for like. You can overplay a professional soccer player. Terry will have his breaking point. Mourinho will know what it is but it won't be 7 games. Probably double. Bamba has not played competitively that much this season. All I am saying is it is of no surprise what happened and Redders had a good excuse before the game to rest him, preserve his form and give Del Fabro who has done nothing wrong a chance. Now Redders must consider whether to drop Bamba lowering his confidence still further. This is what good managers get paid to do. We need to use squad better than we currently do.

George mate I still can't agree. How can a player be overplayed at seven games?! And as for 100 grand a week, what has cash got to do with fitness levels? Personally I would of been astounded if NR had dropped Bamba and played DelFabro instead.
Jesus he's a CB, not a midfielder who runs about a lot and, even though I can see your point a little, there's no way Bamba should of been rested especaily not for an untried young Italian CB.

See where you coming from Cork. I guess my point about Terry's wage is that he is a superior athlete. Also he is better protected with Chelski's midfield whereas we have what we got. Guess I am little frustrated especially with Cellino. I feel we nust use the squad. It is only way to preserve what we have.
