BP1960 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 From a Preston fan; Joel Byrom is a good solid player, who sometimes goes missing but in truth does a lot of good stuff that's not always acknowledged can be a bit loose with his passing at times.

stargazer Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I imagine I am not alone in being surprised at no striker coming in .......our lack of goals has killed us all season , the forwards should be on pay as you score . The club would have plenty of spare cash if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 doesnt matter who you put up front if you play the way we do it would be difficult for danny inges to score in our team the reality is nobody would be keen coming in at this stage and to their credit both look like they want to be here and playing football that to me is an improvement on a couple we have at the moment, hopefully the lad from norwich will bring a bit of quality as they rate the lad down there and no doubt joel will be out to prove a point lets give them a chance eh.

eyres_28 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 How did the lad get on? 2 or 3-man midfield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Average. Philly was very deep - was playing out from behind the other 2 CMs at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamb Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 joel did okay .while not claiming him to be a worldbeater I was generally pleased with his contribution . for me it was a 4-1-4-1 formation with joel playing in front of back four . if that sounds like negative tactics perhaps those people who are heaping pressure on our young manager should consider how helpful it is to keep criticising . the fact is we have only lost one of the last 4 or 5 away games . I wish we had won and it almost worked . special mention to JCH who worked his socks off .might have been subbed earlier as it was obvious he was running on empty but I could see LJ wanted to keep him on for his size and to defend set plays . it almost worked .

BP1960 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 He hardly touched the ball in the first half, looked lost (perhaps understandably) Philiskirk in a deep lying central midfield role and Worrall were well off the pace too, If LJ continues with these tactics against Crawley it's going to be dire to watch.

SavageTheBeast Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Forgot he was playing. Why does Philliskirk get on the teams he's garbage. It's quite clear that Harkins needs to be playing in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Forgot he was playing. Why does Philliskirk get on the teams he's garbage. It's quite clear that Harkins needs to be playing in the middle. agree with this.. to a certain extent, philliskirk needs time on the bench he's been woeful recently! and harkins definitely needs to be played central, wether that be cm or cf, he needs to have the ball at his feet more often so he can use the ball... unlike others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_blue Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Harkins would be a liability at CM as he doesn't have the work rate. Maybe In the hole behind CF would work better or up top at CF. I seem to remember LJ putting him CM once and having to change as it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjonesyyoafc Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Preston supporting pal on Byrom: "Good Player. When Westley got the Preston job he made no secret that the guy he really wanted to bring with him from his old club apart from Scot Laird was Joel Byrom. Part of the Stevenage team that took the scalps of Newcastle and Reading in the FA cup also help them with back to back promotions.. Strengths: two good feet, good vision, can go past people, scores goals, quality free kick taker. Weakness; can dissapear out of games when not on the ball & doesn't like a tackle. Hence why Grayson probably let him go you could say hes a luxury player but a lot of Preston fans, me included, thought he was a class act and he's done what no other preston player has done this season apart from Gallagher is score goals from a midfield postion. I think he will suit you but you will have to play through him to see the best of him. Westley said he built a team round Joel cause he knew he could bring something different to the table. I watched him as a youngster at Clitheroe and he stood out a mile. Nice guy as well. Really down to earth. Give him a run of games and you will have a player and a potential match winner on your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 After a poor 1st half I thought he did well in the 2nd. If we are going to play 5 in midfield then he'd be a good player to have in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
