Painter gone to Bournemouth on loan

[BensGrandad]

Perhaps Gus is looking to play back 3 of Upson El Abd and Greer when all are fit and use 2 wing backs.

 

[Solid at the back]

Bournemouth have easily the best back four in L1 now and will go up if all stay fit

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Good luck to Marcos, a good solid club man.

It seems like they only loaned because the star left back has been injured so maybe not a long term option for him.

Charlie Daniels, ex-Orient. Or Marcos Painter, who won the league with Swansea and Brighton. I'd say he'll be wanted in the summer if they go up.

How do you work that out from Painter going out on loan? He's seemingly 5th choice for a full back roll with Bruno, Bridge, Calderon and Lopez all infront of him. Calderon can play left back in an emergancy and I think we can also add Maksimenko to the list now as lb cover if needed.

 

[Mackenzie]

He's in good company there, quite sad to see him go. Bournmouth will win L1.

 

[ees complicated no?]

Lets face it he is shit at this level, is it really that sad that hes gone when we have better cover in that area?

Better cover? I would prefer Painter at left back to Calderon, natural balance and atleast as good defensively.

If Painter had pace, he'd be a midtable Champ player. He doesn't, bit his intelligence strengthens his game.

 

[Albion Robster]

I would prefer Painter at fullback than Bruno at the moment - based on the last three home games I've seen. Bruno has been very wasteful with possession and seems to be getting caught out of position regularly.

I do agree with you, if he had pace he would be good for back up but he lacks it big time, I'd choose Calde over Painter any time as left back but TBH I'd of rather had Vincelot as left back cover.

 

[The Modfather]

Decent move for both Painter & B'muff. Just hope we have enough cover.

 

[severnside gull]

Marcos has already said he wouldnt earn a new deal with us based on appearances so just as Upson is here to earn himself a deal (Tony Pulis) Paints can now earn himself a deal at Bournemouth

Good player at League 1 level and perfectly competent in the Championship if you have sufficient pace elsewhere in your back 4 to cover - with GG and Adam we didnt have that pace!

I don't know why BG thinks that, but left and right back are different roles. The last time Bridge was injured, Painter took his place, he was the second choice left back. He was preferred in that role to right back calderon, and right midfielder lopez.


In the 245mins he has played for us this season we have conceded 0 goals.
Of the 8 games he's been an unused subs in the last two seasons, we have won 0 games.

 

[ali jenkins]

I like Painter. Not his fault he isnt that quick. He will do well for them if they do go up as they wont be in the same position as us and pushing for the play-offs from the first game.

 

[Weststander]

An excellent League One defender, and great in our title side.

Bournemouth's momentum looks like it's taking them up.

Vincelot is a massive shout, I thought he looked classy at left back. His goal against Coventry with the header was sublime.

I like him too, but his lack of pace is why Swansea and now Brighton are moving him back down to league 1. What a nice change for players to leave having done well, as opposed to a Holroyd level of flop.

Am I right in saying that we almost always conceded after he had gone off? Huddersfield and Bolton certainly.

 

[Northstandite]

Lack of pace, which became apparent at the very end of the title season when up against good widemen, was his only but fatal failing for a Championship team.

Same with Calderon, but he can be class creatively and going forward.

Glad most on here now agree. Last season, anyone commenting about the lack of pace in defence problem with Painter or Calderon was considered an anti Albion traitor.

Good luck to Painter. I hope he will always have fond memories of his time at the Albion, especially being an integral part of the brilliant title winners.

He only made three appearances. The other was v Bristol where we managed to keep a clean sheet after he went off.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Pulled you up and proved you wrong on this before. He's not 'shit' at this level. He's more than adequate in a mid table side.

Fantastic professional and a really intelligent footballer. Will always be very grateful for his performances in the 10/11 Champions season. He was our most consistent defender that year.

Wish him all the best at Bournemouth.
