Scott Fitzgerald - Colchester


Ok some more realistic then others but players who could do a job and may/may not fall into our category.

Just got a text saying thats he's training with us in view of a permanent move

Sounds possible.

Sounds possible.

Would be an excellent signing for the remainder of the season, just what we need at the back, some experience to hold the line together.

 

[Deleted member 2202]

Yeah, but he's 34, and not even in the Colchester team

Hence why i put for the remainder of the season and experience. He's played a good few games this year.

Well spotted RT

They've chucked a lot of money at their team this year. I'm not sure he's one for the future but we're crying out for experience at the back.

Would have been if i had seen that, but my zone alarm thing on my pc doesn't let me go on the official site, it keeps saying that the site wants my ebay password or something.... to complicated for me

 

[Edmundo]

Didn't he write The Great Gatsby?

Yeah, he'll be starting a book club for our kids in the GP creche (dressing room).

Is Dr Seuss on a long-term contract somewhere then?

 

[dorsetbees]

we still need a striker to secore the goals to stay up not a centre half we have 6 in the squad already?

 

[loyalbee]

talbot now fitzgerald surely we can find better than this

 

[brooks]

Isn't this what the club did the last time we were relegated. I seem to remember some superannuated players in the '97 team.

 

[Deleted member 2202]

Yeah, the name Paul Barrowcliff (among others - Graham Hogg, Warren Aspinall) makes me sick. Still though, we bounced back

 

[Snappy]

You've got to give Talbot a chance, he's only played 3 games so far and looked a little below match fitness so don't just on his back just yet.

As for Fitzgerald, quite surprising but we definitely need to shore up the defence because it doesn't matter if we have a midfield and strikeforce full of good players, if the defence continues to leak goals so much we will still struggle. If he can bring a calm and assured head to the back line, then he gets my vote.

Don't write him off before (if) he even plays for us though.

 

[RitchBee]

Maybe we should have kept Scott Marshall on.

Since he signed for Wycombe their defense record has improved greatly.

Yes, I know he wasn't the fastest afoot nor the greatest passer, but he was good in air and was always a steady eddy type.

Despite his lack of pace, Marshall was a reasonable centre half - he was certainly quite commanding at the back. We could do with some of that now
:sad: :sad:

 

[Guildford Bee]

I think Talbot will turn out of be a decent signing - reckon he'll come into his own in the Stockport game, but as for Fitzgerald I'm not really sure about that one.

 

[Rod Gowers]

Scott Fitzgerald? Didn't he have a hit way back with Yvonne Keeley?

If you know what the song was, suggest you enter your team into into the Pop Quiz on March 18th.

Sorry about the cheap plug!!

Why? Is it letting water out of your bath?

I'll get me coat

Wouldn't get carried away - he's done some very good things but he's also had some shockers. Plus he's been injured half the time as well.

Ahhh, that's the Scott we know and didn't quite love.

From a Colchester fan re: Scott Fitzgerald:

"His main problem is inconsistency._ On a good day he can be a match winner._ I sincerely hope he'll get you out of trouble if only to always remind of the fact that a U's "reject" has kept in the 2nd division!"

I remember him from his Millwall days and always considered him to be a quality defender.

 

[Gee Bee]

Decent enough centre back a few years ago at Wimbledon & Millwall. Age may be catcing up on him though, reminds me of the graeme Hogg signing!!

 

[North London Bee]

He might be 34 but he's a leader and a shouter and because of long term injuries he doesn't have too may miles on the clock.

Don't denigrate the memory of Graeme Hogg - he did a fantastic job for us in a 3 man backline & showed more committment than most of his team mates.

 

[BenMoses]

We really are turning into an ex-Millwall team

 

[casual]

Im all for the Scott fitzgerald playing for brentford i think he will do a brillant job at the back for us and give the team a kick up the backside when things are going wrong.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Could be a decent signing IMHO.

Someone to lead at the back, and add more experience when we badly need it.

We are struggling defensively at the moment, a change can only be for the better.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Completely agree.

Hogg was superb in his time at GP.

From a Colchester fan re: Scott Fitzgerald:

"His main problem is inconsistency._ On a good day he can be a match winner,trouble is,it'll be for the other side.Hes more than able of heading an own goal from the oppositions corner or cross,or slicing a ball into your own onion bag, and this is when hes playing well.When hes not on his game he'll do strange things.If the ball is hoofed in the air towards your defence , he'll look up.point to the ball and shout " look out boys , here comes another " He'll then drop to the floor and curl up in a ball untill its gone away._ I sincerely hope he'll get you out of trouble if only to always remind of the fact that a U's "reject" has kept in the 2nd division!"I doubt it though

I remember him from his Millwall days and always considered him to be a quality defender.What went wrong ?

Were doomed every body !

 

[christom]

knowing Wally he will probably play him up front !!!!!!!

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

F*** SCOTT FITZGERALD!

 

[Edmundo]

Well, he's joined on a month's loan, but can't play against Colchester when we play them next month.

 

[New Roader]

From the sound of things, I would have have thought that Colchester would have put a clause in his contract that means he has to play against them.

 

[Simon C]

Well, he's joined on a month's loan, but can't play against Colchester when we play them next month.

A month's loan? Or until the end of the season?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

BigBee - What was the point in you misquoting my post? If you have an opinion, can you attribute it to yourself rather than me.

Cheers mate.
