Will Greer be dropped for Tuesday?

[Bold Seagull]

I knew it was. I was agreeing with you....my second point was then about Gordon.

Ah, good, we are in complete agreement then!

Spot on. "Crap all season"? FFS.

He is central to a defence that was the meanest in the league two weeks ago. .

Still the meanest according to today's Argus.

I'm not sure how the second goal is Greer's fault as he appeared to be left with three attackers and blocked the cross

But he could have kicked it into touch. As you said, he blocked it, but this just left their attackers with the opportunity to take advantage.

Total lack of respect for Greer shown by many on this thread. The guy's barely put a foot wrong for years, yet he makes a few errors near the end of a long season and all of a sudden "he's been crap all season", "he's a liability" etc etc.

It would appear the days of him playing every game and delivering high quality week in, week out are over, but this is just Father Time catching up with a player, it doesn't mean he's gone completely. We tried to sign Van Dijk over a year ago, so we've known for some time we need a younger, fitter centre-half. I hope we sign one in the summer but I still think there's a role for Greer here next season if he wants it.

Barely our a foot wrong so he didn't cost us 2 goals on Saturday and didn't get sent off the other week? Sorry, but being a nice bloke or the captain does not change the facts. Yes we have decent defence in terms of goals conceded but that's more down to upson's ability and experience than it is to greer's.

No but 4 years of mostly excellent service entitles him to some respect including not being booed by his own fans. People need to remember some of the rubbish we had had at centre back before GG turned up.

Whether it's first eleven or not (and I suspect it won't be) he still has a year with us next year if he wants it.

Spot on, JFC and Andrews are a liability, Greer has been a good player for us, even this season in parts

I'm not saying he hasn't made mistakes in recent weeks, I'm saying for the vast majority of his 150-odd league matches with us he's been solid and has plenty of credit in the bank as far as I'm concerned.

And who's to say he's even fully fit? Many players at this stage of the season are playing with niggles and minor injuries, and Greer had that calf injury that kept him out for quite a while.
