Gordon Greer

[Mowgli37]

Seeing him wheel away after Dunk's goal and go completely potty with delight in front of the fans was an absolutely joyous moment today. A real fighter and a proper leader who I was thrilled to see back in the side and doing well today. Keep it up GG

Maybe controversial but Halford & Dunk are my favored centre back pairing. Good to see GG back though...

 

[goldstone]

Thought he was very poor in the first half. Couldn't find a blue shirt with any of his passes.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Yep. It's great to see our captain so passionate and I'm sure it lifts the players around him too.

It's that sort of passion and determination he emanates that'll really help our rise up the table.

Halford is good but he just isn't a 'rock star' like Greer

 

[BensGrandad]

We have missed him badly. We do not have enough leaders on the pitch most clubs have 2 or 3 experienced heads who will keep the younger ones on their toes unfortunately we dont.

Great picture that. Shame about those ridiculously stupid stick on sponsor logos. They really are shoddy

 

[BensGrandad]

Disagree they do what advertising is meant to do draw your attention to it for whatever reason.

 

[The Wizard]

Absolute hero this bloke, love the passion.

Yes, they draw my attention to the fact that American Express is the sort of bank that gets involved with shoddy peel-off labels. Can't imagine they're very happy.

He seemed to be laying into Calde a lot today...
Great to see his passion and love for this club once again

 

[8ace]

The big man was superb today, great to see him back.

Whilst I would agree his passing was wayward, he shouldn't be in the side to spray 40 yard balls to feet. His defensive work was impeccable.

Shocked at some comments as GG would be the first name on the team sheet for me!

I noticed this too, particularly in the second half. Calde was affording their winger a lot of space out on the right but in defence of his defence March wasn't keeping tight to his man as often as he should have been. However no successful team is complete without someone out on the field keeping the players on their toes and Greer is exceptional at that.

All day, and that's despite Halford impressing me hugely. Over the past 3 seasons combined our defensive record has been impeccable, Greer has been the main CB during that time, he has some faults we all know that, but you cannot fault his passion as a captain, defensive leadership and general defensive ability. I hope he retires here and takes his place on the legends wall.

 

[Javeaseagull]

Braveheart! The leader we need.

Both of these. Despite the lift we remain short of leaders, we need one in midfield and a proper presence up front, though hopefully COG may go some way to helping in that area.

Halford has played well, but both he and Dunk are very quiet.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

What was it Swindon fans told us when Greer signed? Not worth the £250K? Well, four and a half seasons later he's still doing great! Very impressed with him yesterday after he'd been out for a while. Although he may have made a couple of poor passes early on, his defending was superb all game!

Thought Halford was unlucky to be dropped from the starting eleven but Greer proved it the right decision. Also, Halford coming on further forward (along with O'Grady) changed the game! We have real competition at centre half now with these three and Hughes available too!

 

[Hampster Gull]

Thought he was very strong yesterday. We had our backs to the wall and he was instrumental in keeping things together. Distribution may not be great but it was wave after wave for a while and needs must

And Halford was excellent at Fulham so we have some options now
