Its no coincidence that since has returned, our results have improved massively.

Our most consistent player and his injury has played a huge part in the number of defeats we have had this season.

Up until fairly recently I'd have said he was our only underrated player. Seems he's finally getting his due. I've always thought he'd have gotten into the Invincibles team ahead of Ralph.

Agree with whoever it was who was (partially) defending his crossing. As crap as it is at times, if we had players who regularly made near post runs across the defender to attack the ball a fair few of those crosses would look a lot more dangerous. A cross is usually a 2-way thing, the onus is on the receiver (steady Jayson, onus not anus :oops: ) as well as the crosser to make it work.

What's the odds he scores an og and gets sent off today now. :roll: :lol:

I'm a big Bac fan, it's just amazing how good he is defending on the air and on the ground. He still provides very decent options for playing foward, just look at how many times he's involved with one twos with Theo and others on the right. Best in the league easy.

Just reading an article on pravda about his 200th game coming up and found out he's 29 :shock:

Only got a few more years of Sagna left :( , hopefully he'll have one trophy with us, a player who definitely deserves one

I think he can go till 33 or 34 years of age and still maintain his current level. He's one of the most physically fit players I've ever seen. I don't think it's a stretch to say he will still be our first choice right back for the next 5 years. I mean Lee Dixon was still first choice for us at 36 and he was never the physical beast that Sagna is.

You have to rate Sagna, great defensively and this season his final ball has really improved. I also really like the look of Jenkinson - shame he got injured when he did. The right side looks a lot more solid than the left at the moment.
