rudemedic Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thought he was decent. Was probably my MOTM at HT but faded in the 2nd half. Given that was presumably his first game in a while and not at this level he looked decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayvan Cowboy Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I liked the look of him. Could be an asset once he gets up to speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Nothing about him to make you sit up and think wow but looks like he's got legs and wants to receive the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamoafc Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Thought he showed glimpses of class but was massively way off match fitnesses. Think he could be a real gem. Wellens has a decent eye for them. Edited January 13, 2018 by adamoafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) He looked like a player that has come straight from an academy, showed some nice touches and quite abit of ability on the ball, but looked like the intensity of the game took him by surprise. He needs to get used to the pace of league 1 quickly, secondly if hes going to play in that position he needs to get forward more and support Davies who was isolated and needed someone go get up and support him. Give him more game time and lets see what he can do. Edited January 14, 2018 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyPimp Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thought he looked energetic and willing to break forward with the ball before he tired. I suspect he’ll find himself out wide once he gets some fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good sign he could impress most observers in a game that was extremely direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tackling wasn't all he didn't do Fucking hell, the downboats! I thought he was shit but, unlike many on here would, I'm not writing him off on the back of one bad game. Hopefully he'll come good once he gets into the swing of it. Edited January 14, 2018 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember him doing anything that could be described as shit. He looked decent on the ball the few times he had it, he just wasn't involved in that game that much. From what I've read he's not a central midfielder at all so it seemed odd to play him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB, downboat from me simply because I don’t he did anything the slightest bit close to being shit. I mean, i think Banks and Green are shit... he was nowhere near there standard.

What were the good things he did that I missed? I recall him moving the ball on nicely in a couple of semi threatening moves early on but then, very quickly, he was largely uninvolved for the rest of the game until he was taken off. Other players would have been crucified for his tackling (or lack of) and attempts to win headers. I don't want to appear to be going all palmer1 on him ( I hope I'm back in this thread in a week to say how good he was against Peterborough) but people keep replying and pretending he was good when he clearly wasn't.

He just looked off the pace a little at times maybe its a fitness thing I dont know. I wont write him off he could well come good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For god sake give the guy a chance. It’s obvious he’s no where near match fit, however he was quick with the ball first half and showed good technical ability. Four or five games given game time and I think we could have a gem . He had raving reviews when he played for Aldershot so give the lad a chance and stop being so damned judgemental until he has had a few more games.

I'm not saying he did anything good, he just didn't anything shit. He didn't really do much at all after the first half an hour or so. I just think saying he was shit was a bit harsh. He didn't seem very comfortable in that position to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyinthesnow Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 My Aldershot supporting mate describes him as a box to box midfielder, always willing to show for the ball and takes a good free kick. Time will tell if he can do all that two leagues higher up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe there are people actually pointing out positives when he clearly made more than one mistake. FFS the guy has no future in football at any level never mind League 1. We only accept total footballers here, I want him out so we can get the next none perfectionist in. Life would be shit if I didn't have something to moan about. P.S. Not a go at your measured post, rather some of the earlier posts that really rips my knitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Thought he looked like he had a lot of quality on the ball, just not match fit, same with Pringle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
