Come back El Abd

[Poyningsgull]

Everyone has been singing the praises of Dunk (injcluding me) with Greer, Cook and Vincelot hasving their supporters. El Abd gave the finest season long display of any Albion defender in history last season and was responsible in a big way for our promotion.

I for one think he is desperatley missed and will make a huge difference when he returns. I think Dunk needs resting and Greer has not looked the same player without El Abd along side him.

Mark my words, when El Abd returns, the goals against column will dry up.

hope that's true. anyone know when he is back in contention?

I think you could be right. El-Abd was outstanding last year, however when he does come back everyone will need to be realistic in that he hasn't had a pre-season and may take some time to get back to his own high standards.

Gus said when asked no time soon

Even when he is fit to play, it will still take a month at least for him to get match fit. I do rate him, but i still think the championship is a step to far. It will be very difficult for him to recapture last season's form

Lets hope its not too long. We need him badly

Have to agree with you

Our problem is the inability of our central defenders to win headers, which Adam does although being shorter than those we have.

Hope you're right but you have to remember it was League1. Different gravy in the championship.

You are blinded by your love for him, Greer made him look decent last season. I for one am dreading the day he returns, he isn't anything on Dunk

 

[ferring seagull]

Concerned about Adam's relative lack of height as a central defender. Did he ever play as a defensive midfielder ?

Just a question.

I am sure that a manager in recent years played him in midfield but cant remember who

Hope it is just a question and not an idea. Adam's weakness as a defender is his distribution - he'd be pony in that role.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It concerns me that he isn't getting any better, or doesn't seem to be. He's been out for nearly 6 months with a broken bone in his foot. Does that seem excessively long to anyone else?

Thanks for you comment which agrees with my thoughts !

JCL alert lol. Seriously yes he was played in that role under Wilkins.

Funny thing is that El Abd probably has the most Championship experience out of all them!

 

[Muzzy]

IMO, I don't think Adam will cut it at this level... Would be happy to be proved wrong though!

We need a towering CD with a bit of pace and Adam doesn't fit that criteria!

Greer has been found out to a degree also.

These opinions are mine and I am more than happy with the start that we've made but to step it up Gus will have to look at bringing in a bit more quality at the back as well as a Lee Bowyer type CM!

I think actually El-Abd made Greer look good. Greer is suffering from his absence now.
