MC RISK77 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thought he was very good today and great we have some good competition on right back position with him and Matthews. Thought he linked up with o'dowda really well in first half and almost scored in the second... A real top performer today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Funny. I thought he looked completely off the pace and restricted perhaps tactically to not bomb on as we are used to seeing him. I like him but a fit Matthews will be starting ahead of him every time i reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthered Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought he played well....Got done along with Flint for the opening goal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Pleased to hear he did well but any idea why Matthews didn't start? Due to his lack of pre-season with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3_RED Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought he grew into the game but it was his pathetic pass that gave the ball away that led to their goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 He did ok but Matthews is absolutely streets ahead of him, nothing against Ayling but Matthews is a class above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Ayling goes on an attacking run, gives the ball away and the opposition score on the break. Yesterdays game? Yes but almost a complete replica of Brentford at home last season and several others. He doesn't seem to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben4BCFC Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm a big fan of Luke and would have him ahead of Little every week, but thought yesterday he looked hugely off the pace, couldn't complete simple passes at times, and made sloppy mistakes when trying to overlap with O'Dowda. Whether or not that partnership will develop with time and due to Matthews not being in the squad pre-season maybe he wasn't fit or in sync with the squad as much as LJ felt Ayling was, but I don't think it'll be long before Matthews starts at RB. Ayling grew into the game for sure, but can't see him being first choice unless he becomes calmer and more assured on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezOfCity Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I expect Matthews isn't fully match fit yet, can see him starting RB on tuesday, probably for 60 mins before being replaced. Also would expect Golbourne to start on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezOfCity Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 No Golbourne just missed out, LJ said Matthews could play rb or lb for cover and he wanted more attacking options on the bench. Apparantly he told Golbourne that he'll "play in more games than he misses" so just take it on the chin and move on. Which sounds like good man management to me.

Red-Robbo Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Agree with those that said it wasn't one of his better games. Our line up at the end of the match minus Ayling but plus Matthews would be my starting line-up at Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I think that for quite a few games to come that it should be Matthews & O'Dowda on the right with Golbourne & Bryan in the left. I am not sure that we can afford to be so gung-ho as we were in the second half in the games against Norwich, Newcastle & Aston Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
