Chair is a different level from Vale......
Look at them both yesrday, Chair looks for the ball more, is involved more(& should be in that position), available to receive the ball more, works harder, uses the ball far better......basically Chair is a far better player and made an impact when he was introduced into the match & should have been came on at half time & not waited for the dreaded 60 minutes (that is so stupid, f'ing 60 mins & it sub time!!!! - wtf). Take note JS &, sorry, but another critism I have with JS. | | | |

Agree with you, Paddy.
He changed the game when he came on, in my opinion.
Passing in front of players, urging them on, feints, dropped shoulders, changed angles.
His role in the goal was the fourth or fifth time he worried their backs and prompted our forwards. |
Great post Brian. I noticed that today, how much he encourages and directs players. Showing leadership alongside his undoubted ability. Looks fit and strong too. If he can stay fit then we score more goals and win more games - simple as that. Love him | | | |

Not long ago that we were reading how he'd struggle to get back in ahead of Dembele, Saito, Vale and Poku.
Safe to say that none of them have made a claim while he's been out injured. Let's hope he's fully fit again and will continue to add to the team. Fully fit he's a definite starter. |
That was my view too. He is way above those players when fit and available to play.
He loves the club, the fans and it shows in his performances. Thankfully he has changed the outcomes of the last 2 matches after replacing Vale, who once again was woeful. | | | |

...but he holds on to it too long.
...we are a better team without him.
As I say, some of you do not deserve a player like Chair. Even when he's "off it" he is still our best player... |

He did used to hold onto the ball for far too long. A very valid criticism of his game which ultimately has held him back from being premier league quality.
But now Stéphan has finally drilled into chair 1 and 2 touch, like he has the rest of the team. Chair should now go to a whole new level. The signs have already been there in his limited game time this season. [Post edited 8 Nov 11:35]

Sorry, mate. Tosh.
It was a myth and always has been. If he did hold on to it that is because there were poor options in front of him. I mean what is the point of crossing for Lyndon Dykes or Conor Washington?
The better players around him who are on the same wavelength make him a better player because they get into good positions.
Anyway, the unbelievers are back on board, so I'll keep my powder dry 'til the next bleats start again... |  |

As previously said like a new signing, great to see the little fella back, hopefully back in the starting 11 after the break.
He carried this team on his own for many a season let’s see how he thrives with some better players around him, can only help and improve him which makes for some exciting times . |  |

I was in the rail seats yesterday (would recommend) and couldn't help but smile that we're singing a song for him based on a tune that was released 46 years ago. |  | | |

Great player but surely the myth is that a pro footballer would decide who he does and doesn't cross to depending on how much he rates them. [Post edited 8 Nov 20:01]

He's my favourite player since Eze left. He's a joy to watch, and a serious talent.
He makes us better.
And, yes, there are times where he has held on to the ball and waited for a better option for the team.
But, let's be fair, there have also been plenty times where he has held on to the ball and waited for a better option for him. |  |

In previous seasons, I have always thought we were a far worse team without Chair and we gave up possession far to easily without him in the team. This season we obviously have a stronger squad and more players who are comfortable to hold onto the ball, but also move it forward in a quick transition.
Chair is still the first name on my team sheet and I think he is going to thrive with the added quality we now have in this seasons squad. | | | |

This is a ridiculous comparison.
Chair is 29, has been playing in the Championship for ten seasons and has played 300 games at the level.
Harvey is 23, has been playing in the Championship for 18 months and has played around 40 games at the level.
Of course he's at different level. Chair's at the absolute peak of his career in terms of ability, know-how and he's the most talented ball player in the squad. In terms of fitness, though, he may well be over his peak. At the moment, Chair is unable to play a full game so we're not able to judge. It's been nearly three seasons since Chair has played a long run of uninterrupted games. He has completed 90 minutes 17 times over the last three seasons.
Harvey Vale is at the other end of his career. Maybe by time he's 29, he'll be comparable. We just don't know. I remember Chair at 23, a great young player, but much better than Vale at all you mention, no.
Gazza, we all bow to your football knowledge and long list of achievements. But if Stephan thinks that bringing on a recovering player who has broken down once already this season on returning, and also said he was blowing after 15 mins on Tuesday, for 30 mins four days later and that player then assists a winner that is actually good management. | | | |

Opinions. For mine, it isn't a ridiculous comparison.
I'm sorry, but to suggest that Chair's all-round game at Vale's age, is comparable, is for the birds.
Chair aside, there's a player at Cardiff: Jack Moylan, whose championship experience is equal to the number of games played to date in the league: 15. Already, he is light years ahead of Vale. His football education did not involve being reared in a premier league puppy farm, playing easy-osey, cossetted football.
Some players have that force of nature, where they want to take centre stage and be involved as much as possible, Moylan is already that kind of player after just 15 games in the championship, I'm afraid Vale isn't. [Post edited 9 Nov 11:53]

You must not have been at the Brentford away game when Kevin Gallen pointedly refused to pass to Eric Sabin. |  |

Jack Moylan is great, would have been a fantastic signing - he was the outstanding L1 attacking midfielder last season. He's two years older than Vale though and cost £3m. We signed Kamara on loan as that was our midfield market in the summer. Moylan wasn't the Moylan of 26/27 when signed at 23 by Lincoln from Shelbourne though.
If Chair had been asked to play as many positions as Vale has at the same age he'd have sunk. They're not the same players. Vale has played left wing, number 10, number 8 and even in a 6 this season. Chair could not, has not.
We can compare Vale to Moylan in two years. And Vale to Chair in five. Let's just see.
Just don't understand the constant need of fans to use one footballer to bash another, both of whom we rely on. Chair cannot finish a game so let's give his apprentice a break as he learns his trade. | | | |

I am gonna say it here first: is this not Chair's 10th year at the club in Jan? Testimonial time?
If so, in this day and age, that's a massive achievement. [Post edited 9 Nov 12:59]

Agree. Especially the bit about Vale playing multiple positions, it's a bit unfair on him.
Regarding Chair, if he can stay fit he is the difference between playoffs and 10th.
I'm still going automatic promotion though. | |
