He seems to be showing an alarming lack of interest, bare in mind he is mean to be the captain. Read his bit in the programme and he seems to think all is rosey in the garden. Are we going ot suffer over his form this season.

Someone said on another thread that he shouldnt be captain and Colin should be in his place. Proper order.

While Hoggie is out injured I'd put Colin at right back and I'd make him captain for the rest of the season, where ever he endsup playing.

Dunno can't keep changing Captain couple of times season. Lets face it captain does feck all in football anyway.

While Dan has looked dodgy I don't think can change 1/2 the team week in week out so would leave him there for next couple of games & see how it goes...

I totally agree with you but i am freaked out ..... he you have ot admit he has taken a few steps back, in comparison to when he first lined out for City. The footballing centre back ... we were totally confident in him but now he seems to be making some cl�ngers and we are paying for it.

I dunno .... i give up !!

If a player plays crap he deserves to have his preformence assessed on here. As opposed to other players whpo get abuse on the pitch while wearing the club jersey.

If Kevin Murray played like Dan did we'd have pages upon pages of threads demanding that he be dropped from the squad.

No players should be above critique because they are fans favorities.

Has to be said .... Kevin Murray is a good example, it is not that you'd want to get on the guys back just for the sake of it ... we'd rant on because he is not good enough or not doing the job he is meant to do.

I totally agree that take lumps out of people here doesn't help but highlighting it surely is a must. Making excuses for any player will never help us out.

All I can say, where are all people who said Dan Murray was not playing well next to Derek last season? Well he still ain't playing well now. Murray is one of the best centre halves in the league, and no one affects his play except himself.

its all a little bit anti dan there so far in the voting.hes f�ckin class when he wants to be but,i feel hes got the mentality that he seems to need to beat players from defence a little

**pete** · 08/04/2004, 9:45 AM

How quick people turn on a player out of form.

**ccfcman** · 08/04/2004, 9:46 AM

yeah when will it happen for jof?

And that should go for George too
I know he oozes skill and class but sometimes much more is required and i'm not too sure he has what it takes when the game gets physical.

He's a great player, and he's beena good captain,but he needs to get a bit more vocal again. Maybe the fact that his partner keeps changing every few games isn't helping him

dan looked good when he played with a good partner that he could trust ie benno coughlan not kevin murray or willie byrne. dan is trying 2 play his own game and cover d other fella aswell. when benno and coughlan were long side of him we looked solid at d back. dere is a disturbing lack of confidence around d place at the mo.
