Marcos Painter recalled from Bournemouth loan

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I'd rather Orlandi or Spanish Dave at full back

We really need Spanish Dave making the Palace LB crap himself.

I would be happy to see him on the bench as cover for Bridge who is said by the Argus to be 100% fit. To come on late in the game I think that he would be a better bet as left back than Dunk, as Calderon may be required to fill in at right back if Bruno isnt 100% or moving other players around to cover.

I have several friends that support AFCB and according to them Painter has been very poor when he's managed to get any game time. If we hadn't recalled him, I suspect he would have been sent back before too long!

 

[fred]

according to their website wes fogden had a brilliant game at stevenage at left back,painters had it now

To be fair to Painter, he actually did well in the couple of games he played for us this season. I was surprised he struggled at Bournemouth as he looked a very good left back at that level when we won the league.

I seem to remember a very slow Tanno marking Zaha last year at the Amex, and Zaha was virtually non-existant until Tanno went off.

Pace is not everything....

Would rather Tanno play instead of Painter! - cant even hold a place at L1 level

 

[HastingsSeagull]

No chance, he just will never play for them again so why leave him there miserable. Get him in for depth and a (big) emergancy that touch wood won't happen

 

[Weststander]

I sincerely hope Painter is nowhere near the side on sunday, there is no way he can cope with Palace's pace.

This.
Might be a nice bloke, but they would destroy him.
Sorry but true.
They have assembled a team with pace and power, and unfortunately for us it does seem to make a top 2 or 6 finish a near certainty.

Surprised by the number of people assuming he'll be starting, as others have said I expect he's going to be cover. Bruno's Achilles (believe that's his injury?) seems to have been bothering him a lot, so makes sense to have cover in situations where Calde is starting instead.

Cheers for the update ..very interesting

No problem..and Foggy was that good at left back on tues night..the bloke is a bit of a legend at the mo. starting another debate on how good players can be when they come from non league..especially in terms of attitude and application.

Left Back

smacks of desperation this - wasn't good enough in first place and says a lot about the 'squad' depth and quality that need to recall MP!.......

Makes perfect sense to me!

Previously with Brighton, but you knew that.

Yeah. Wouldn't waffle on about him otherwise. I know quite a few of you look out for him. So could be Foggy, tommy, cookie...got a decent right back to complete it ??

I'm sure Ryan Harley could do a job there....

 

[LU7 RED]

Ha ha. Need someone to keep Francis on his toes ;-)

Hey Weststander

Can I ask, being a Weststander, is that the Holmesdale or the Arthur Wait in your case?

 

[ees complicated no?]

Yhp he played shit.

Painter gone back - CourtOffside - AFC Bournemouth Forums

I hope I never see him in a Brighton shirt again.

 

[Triggaaar]

Painter WILL get torn apart by Palace, for ****sake.

£100 says he won't

Cash is fine.
