Excellent judgement.

Anyway, more to the point, why do you (and others) keep banging on about Foster? A player with an attitude problem who left OUFC of his own accord, whatever TiU stirring you choose to believe. And who now plays for one of our rivals!
He's gone, we're top of the league and conceding fewer goals than ever.
I haven't been protective of him I don't think, nor excessively defensive. I, and others, have merely pointed out, in light of your post-Luton criticism of Wright - when I (called you an idiot for your overly critical and baseless comments and) assured you that if you watched him closely you would notice that he is class and too good for this level - that he has been exceptional in the time since you chose to slate him."GodalmingYellow" wrote:Why would anyone need to be protective of Wright on a minority forum, as a result of something I write?"Kernow Yellow" wrote:You only have to see GY's comments on the other thread to understand why some on here are a little protective of Wright.

I don't think Wright is much good based on the games I've seen him play so far. A couple of other noobs seem to be repeating an excessive defence of him on several threads. That's fine its a forum. Its football. Its opinions.

The fact that you have watched him play in several games since and are unable to take a positive stance and appreciate one of the best centre backs we've had at the club for several years (not that that's saying much) is rather sad I think and suggests that you're either very stubborn or don't know very much about football.
I personally rated Duffy, but let's not get started on that.
I think I can tell them apart. Tonkin is the one with 21 goals this season, right?"Baboo" wrote:Perhaps we're not even looking at the same player. Wright & Tonkin look quite similar. Er, no that doesn't work. Tonkin was excellent (too?).
Apologies, to you both."GodalmingYellow" wrote: The person you personally abused last time was Ty Cobb, not me.
Having strongly defended Wright on several threads, and having clashed with yourself on this exact topic recently, I don't think it was an unreasonable assumption there. Who were you referring to? I didn't realise that one had to address each response to an individual poster - would that not be making things too personal?"GodalmingYellow" wrote: And I don’t believe I mentioned you when making the comment that you refer to about excessive defence of Wright, so it is interesting that you should feel defensive enough to assume it was you.

As I suggested above, probably stubbornness. You were obviously of the view that CW should not have got rid of Foster (which was an understandable reaction given the timing and suddenness etc) and that Wright is not good enough, so sometimes its easier to point out flaws/mistakes (which others seem to have missed!) from Wright and to overlook several solid performances in a row than to admit that you might have been wrong."GodalmingYellow" wrote:We are all Oxford United fans, and I wish Jake Wright was a better player as OUFC would benefit from that.

Well I thought the one on the (W)right the bloke was miles offside until I noticed Wright playing him onside which explains why he was able to get back on the line - BBC highlights confirm it."Isaac" wrote:At least with Duffy I could see why there was a debate, a lazy git who scored goals (mostly penalties). Moderately effective at what he did but crap, really.
With Wright I'm bemused, we've barely conceded a goal while he's played and yet by some he's made out as an imposter in the side, who makes numerous mistakes only to be repeatedly covered by a teammate. I just haven't seen that at all, he looks steady, reliable, decent in the air and makes a good tackle when required.
Even the 3 wimbledon chances on the highlights, 2 came down the right hand side (I note Wright covering well on the line for one of them) and the other from the left back position, crossed for Day to head onto the bar. If someone can explain to me what Wright did wrong in any of them, then please do.

Let's agree to disagree on this one.

If it was stubbornness, and everyone will note you are personalising it yet again, why would I not have been stubborn about Hargreaves, or indeed any other player I have previously criticised?
Well done on seeing the light with regard to Hargreaves, but I don't see how that means that it's impossible for you to be stubborn in terms of your opinion on Wright."GodalmingYellow" wrote:What possible motive could I have for being critical of an OUFC player without due cause?

As I said before, you're obviously entitled to your opinion, I just disagree with it.
