philsalt Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just followed the Johnson V Johnson game anxiously on my phone (long time Oldham fan living in exile in 'that' London and first time poster). I noticed that Glen Belezika started today in place of Tarky. Big game, lots of pressure, only a teenager, how did he do? On Twitter he seems a bit of a wannabe gangster, profile picture of him smoking a shisha pipe and tweets which make no sense whatsoever. Could he be a lot of talent but no dedication or am i being harsh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thought he was excellent, let the ball bounce a bit too much but good turn of pace and won plenty in the air - no nonsense and got rid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 He was shaky at best Thought he was excellent, let the ball bounce a bit too much but good turn of pace and won plenty in the air - no nonsense and got rid Funny, how people see different perspectives.

philsalt Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 With M'Voto probably leaving at the end of the season, he could be an important part of our defence next season. Perhaps it might be a bit early for him, but Tarky has improved massively from the start of the season when he was very quickly dropped.

Lee Sinnott Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Perhaps it might be a bit early for him, but Tarky has improved massively from the start of the season when he was very quickly dropped. Has he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsalt Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Admittedly his starting point was very low. I certainly wet my pants less when he's anywhere near the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehobbit Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 He was awful and that's being kind. Every clearance was mi:censored: and there were some terrible passes. Did make one vital block at the end. Very very raw. Should handle the physical stuff ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_La_Vega Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Did alright, some good defending but dubious ball skills. Needs to learn to react a bit quicker, and towards the end was winning little in the air even against Hayter. That said though, early days so I'll cut him slack. Tarkowski is my worry - far too many mistakes... We'll miss JYM when he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did make one vital block at the end. Very very raw. Should handle the physical stuff ok. He was fine and for a young kid making his full debut in those circumstances against the strike threat they had, he was excellent. It's to even a question of thinking everyone should be a happy clapper but people really need to take a look at themselves and ask if their default position should be "Negative moaner" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsalt Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 He has only made 1 very late substitute appearance for us so far. Being part of a defence that kept a clean sheet, he can't have been that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Ok. Will learn from it. Didn't worry me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Good debut clean sheet, hopefully first of many. Big game to make the step up but he did what was needed, seemed to bring the leader out in Big Jean too who despite being a kid himself guided the new lad through the game and was much more a leader at the back than he has been. One bit of red mist which Bouzanis helped defuse but it was good to see him willing to get stuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinevillawill Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Very shakey. Never really settled. Looked like he couldn't kick the ball properly at times. Only one game but don't see what all the hype is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I thought he had a more than decent game. Certainly never let the occasion get the better of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Actually wasn't feeling to well today so, I thought I was seeing double, two mvoto's, bloody hell are they similar looking. Thought he did okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 He did very well , Bouzy stopped him getting into trouble at one point. No doubt the manager will praise his performance & chew hm out for being naive enough to get involved in the handbags rubbish that can lead to a red card.

BP1960 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I thought he looked very nervous in the first half and that wily old fox Hayter wasn't the type of striker he usually has to deal with. He looked more assured in the second half and his level of concentration was good. He will be all the better for that outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 They have the top scorer in the division .....so all the back 5 did a top job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 A- for me, looked a little bit shaky for the first 20 minutes. But did well after that, especially since that was his first start, he was up against Madden (the league's top scorer) and Hayter, a wily old fox. He made a crucial goal saving tackle in about the 85 minute and got a few well deserved pats on the back. As I hinted he was involved in keeping a clean sheet against the league's top scorer and a very good CF, can't want for more than that. Although he did seem to get in the face of the bloke they left up front when we scored which seemed a bit daft. As well as a couple of handbag incidents.

welshgaz Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I thought it was an extremely nervous performance. He didnt know what to do with Hayter first half. Though he did make a goal saving tackle late on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
