Burnley exposed these 2 for what they are - average at best. So Assou-Ekotto can pluck a ball out of the air. Great, but he can't defend for toffee and makes ludicrous decisions in dangerous areas. I can see now why 2 successive managers at Tottenham had no interest in recalling him. |  | | |  |

Think that is harsh, nedum out of position and BAE just had a bad game. He has been brilliant for the rest of the season. |  |

BAE had the same positives and negatives as he always does. He was faaaaar to casual on the ball on multiple occasions, costing us 1 goal, nearly more. This has been an issue all season, however we did see his class when he was spraying around some of those passes over to the right hand side. Frustrating as ever though, I do want to throttle him most of the time.
Onouha I thought did alright today. He looked uncomfortable on the ball at times, and ran out of options and seemed to panic. He defended relatively well, I think Junior was more to blame for the 2nd, and he is playing out of position as has been said, aswell as not getting a regular run of games due to injuries. He is quality player and will just get better. |  | | |

Give it a rest. We all know Ned is no right back, he's a very good centre back playing out of position.
I slightly agree about Assou-Ekotto. I don't see him as the messiah at left back that some seem to do. His sloppiness cost us one and very nearly two goals today. |  |

Nedum came to us as a right-back. Unfortunately he hasn't mastered this position so he now operates as cover for both right-back and centre-half. | | | |
| Onuoha and Assou-Ekotto on 14:37 - Feb 1 with 3574 views | CamberleyR |
Er, he wasn't cover at centre back when he started the first seven league games of the season in that position with Hill shunted out to left back. | |

Onuoha had a good game overall but with Hoilett was at fault for the second. Neither closed down. Mitigation it was both players first game back for a while. |  | | |

I thought Nedum had a good first half, but he drifted into his natural position in the middle for their second goal and Hoilett didn't do a thing to help him out. He should be starting at CB.
If we got Hughes, and Hughes is fit to play, and Hughes is more comfortable at right back then why didn't we just start the bastard? I don't think Nedum was our problem today anyway.
Ekotto is full of skill but their 3rd and almost 4th showed the difference between having skill and applying it properly, today at least. |  | | |

I think Hughes will start the next game as a RB
As for BAE he shouldn't be allowed to smoke Marihuana before a game. |  | | |

Get a grip - Nedum is a good centre back and has the ability to cover at right back - he never came to us as a right back - successive managers have stuck him out at right back and he does he an OK job covering in that position.......
What possibly makes you think right back is his natural position......?????
Ekotto has natural flair and skill on the ball when attacking BUT he is a defensive liability, he screwed up for there second goal and will continue to make mistakes when defending, his positional play when defending is poor, when you watch him in the Ellerslie Road stand you can see his poor positional play, that said against most teams in the division he will look class Burnley are not your average team [Post edited 1 Feb 2014 14:48]

Er, isn't Onuoha the right back? But of course it's all Hoilett's fault bacuase we can't say a bad word about precious Nedum. | | | |

Er, well he obviously didn't impress there as he hasn't retained the position. | | | |

Hughes should have started today ahead of Onuoha. He's played regular football this season so is fit. | | | |

Don't be a prize plum all your life. He got a bad hamstring injury early in the home game against Brighton which kept him out a couple of months. | |

Onuoha is yet another Hughes master stroke.
Upon signing Hughes said: "He is very versatile. He can play centre-back or right-back and has good pace."
In my book "versatile" means jack of all trades, master of none. If successive managers have stuck Nedum out at right-back, what does that tell you? | | | |

Harsh on Ned who I thought was solid and tried to get forward and support junior.
BAE had a bad one, he's just admitted as much in this tweet:
"Some time they is a good day and some time they is a bad day ! Today was a bad day... Some time it happens" |  |

Don't be an idiot all your life. Onouha was cover until Dunne got up to speed. If he was so great he would have shifted one of the old timers out of the team. | | | |

Eh??? How do you work that out? Dunne and Onuoha started five games at centre back from the third league game in with Hill shunted to left back to accommodate Dunne.
That partnership ended when Onuoha got injured against Brighton, after which Hill was again put in at centre back and did really well in partnership with Dunne making it difficult for Harry to drop either of them when Onuoha got fit. | |

Dunne and Hill were at fault for the first two goals today, BAE for the third.
Ned emerged with more credit than any of those today. | |

How many games have you actually watched Onuoha play live, my guess is not too many, hes a quality centre back at Championship level who in most peoples opinion could step up to the Premiership without too much problem.
I accept hes not a natural right back, he is without question a centre back, why the F would you take any notice of what that tw*t Hughes has to say.
Nedum was doing a fantastic job at centre back until he got injured and now Harry doesn't want to drop the pub landlord or the club captain, so Nedum has sat on the bench when he has been fit but believe you me IF and its a big IF we get promoted hes one of the few who could step up to the Premiership......IMO of course......  | | | |

dunne was marking Ings as the cross came in for the first, Ings pulled off a yard or two and Dunne didn't go with him, hence he had the space to get his shot away without a challenge. | |

Dunne had a decent game otherwise, and scored a great goal, but that's how I saw it too. | | | |

2nd goal Hoilett just watched as Kightly crossed for the goal. That's why he is as much to blame as anyone. Could've got closer and prevented the cross instead of not making a challenge.
Onuha is a centre back and has proved his worth more than once this season. |  | | |
