Bamba (merged)

**erskine-hibby** · 27-02-2010 04:02 PM

Not a knee jerk reaction, I just feel that since his return he has been pretty guff.
Even the re-introduction of Stack to 'contol' him seems to have failed.
IMHO he is quickly becoming a liability at centre back.

**Coco Bryce** · 27-02-2010 04:03 PM

He had a better game today than he has the last couple of weeks.

***Sylar*** · 27-02-2010 04:04 PM

Have we won since he came back from the ACN?

If not (I don't think we have?), then it's obvious what the answer should be!

Obviously I wasn't there but listening to it on the radio it seems he wasn't much better.
It seems no coincidense (sp) that since he came back into the team we have been at sixes and sevens at the back.

**PeterboroHibee** · 27-02-2010 04:08 PM

We beat St Mirren when he scored the OG.

Sounded horrific at times again today, lucky not to concede more than one. Needs dropped, was a poor call by Yogi to drop Hanlon who was playing well in the first place, would def have him in over Bamba next week though.

Oh aye, forgot about that classic performance...that makes it alright then

**Oscar Lomax** · 27-02-2010 04:16 PM

Bamba, over-rated, never Hibs class but a hero in the eye's off 90% off Hibs fans.....why?.....It beat's me for sure.
Get him out off the team.
This has been one off Yogi's biggest err's not getting a centre half in during the window.

***hibee_girl*** · 27-02-2010 04:29 PM

You get the sense that Bamba has an attitude about him now

A bad one.

**Beefster** · 27-02-2010 04:32 PM

Anyone who's posted so far care to explain why Bamba should be dropped after today? I was at the match and can't tell why he's been singled out.

Maybe Yogi has been promised half the profit from his sale for Transfers?

Nah?

Thought not.

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 27-02-2010 04:35 PM

Just home. We were awful, truelly awful!! Bamba was ropey...wouldnt give anyone pass marks

***NorthNorfolkHFC*** · 27-02-2010 04:36 PM

was anybody there today? without bamba we would have been helpless on many occasions, he is not at his best but if we didn't have his height our average height would be 4"3?

***Jim44*** · 27-02-2010 04:37 PM

We've nothing to lose by dropping him. We can't win when he's playing and there's so many criticisms, reservations and rumours about him for it all to be imagined. The match against Killie might be the time to take the plunge.

***NorthNorfolkHFC*** · 27-02-2010 04:38 PM

No. Don't drop him against Killie. They have Kyle, who deals with him? Hogg? I think not. Hogg couldn't cope with Deuchar today!!

**RoYO!** · 27-02-2010 04:39 PM

think theres a lot of

going on here.

this is the same player that we all expected to see go for a couple of mil- and rightly so. Hes had a dip in form but looked back to best today imo.

bbc are quick to make a story out of a few murmurs of discontent- dont believe everything you hear on the radio

short term memory loss? can you remember earlier on in the season when he was nothing short of imperious? huge unbeaten runs, getting forwarded for countless motm's from fans.

its a dip.

he will come through it.

and we will all be singing his praises again

**Bob1875** · 27-02-2010 04:53 PM

Holy Cow, the OP wasnt even at the game!!!!

How can you say a player should be dropped??

FWIW I thought Bamba was excellent today and saved ours and Hoggs ***** a good few times.

Wasn't the worst by any means, Spoony and Hogg both had poor games, IMO. Ian Murray had a few shaky moments as well.

He was better than Hogg again today who again looked like the weak link.

Not in my eyes. Another bomb scare like jones was

**BryanV** · 27-02-2010 05:01 PM

If the radio said he had a poor game then I think he should be dropped, if the radio said. Read back what you posted Erskine Hibby.....

Radio...

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 27-02-2010 05:04 PM

Why did this not happen today?!?! They bullied us in midfield up there, we knew what to expect today! Bamba has been horrible in defence recently. He was immense in the sitting midfield role lst season. Why play Stevenson today?? Nothing against him, in fact I quite like him but not against their midfield. We would have bn stronger at the bk with Hanlon and we would have bn stronger in midfield with Bamba.

**Wotherspiniesta** · 27-02-2010 05:04 PM

Lot of people jumping on the bandwagon here.My observations from the famous five stand at Easter Road:

Bamba was great today. He was powerful, won headers and generally had a solid game.

Hogg on the other hand was bullied out the game, won nothing in the air and 3 times let the ball bounce in front of him.

Still, lets drop Bamba instead.

Really? Spoony was my MOTM

**RoYO!** · 27-02-2010 05:06 PM

worth a shot.

dont recall stevenson doing much today, tho as you say, i have a lot of time for him too..... but a lot of that is based on his cup final performance!

You probably would've got a better view of Bamba's performance of you watched it on the radio though

***Simkin911*** · 27-02-2010 05:06 PM

Sponsors MoM today.

So inconsistent. Some good interceptions and then he'd fluff a clearance in the box to the opposing team. Let's face it, no team watching him over the last couple of months would shell out big time for him.

The entire back four looked uncomfortable. Hogg won all the free headers and their guys won the rest.

Wotherspoon's development/confidence isn't going to be helped playing in that defence based on the overall performance today.

Still think Bamba & Hanlon would be better pairing than Bamba/Hogg.

**Phil MaGlass** · 27-02-2010 05:08 PM

Ive said it before I will say it again,Hoggy played pi5h he was dropped,why bombscares not been dropped I have no idea.Yi cannae come in as a new manager and use Hoggy as an example then not carry the threat out again.
