MC RISK77 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 When was the last time he was really on fire...part of a great squad and really hope he can start terrorising defences in this league but just can't see it. i have been a big fan but first time today I looked at his performance alongside many other games this year and thought what does he offer... crab like movements across the pitch the multiple step overs with no shot or killer ball. we looked so much more threatening when Joe Bryan was on the pitch.

One BCFC Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 His stat about not scoring at Home is shocking really. Can be a very good player, is too weak and not quick enough though. What frustrates me the most is when we have an opportunity to attack he will slow us down by doing an extra stepover and by then the defence are already back into a comfortable position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I can why LJ perseveres. He's so close but just final ball or shot isn't there. Was watching his shots in warm up. Very poor indeed. Hope it clicks for him soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thought he did ok. Not fantastic but definitely not awful like some would have you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Just wish sometimes he'd swing his right peg when he takes it on the outside. Thought he was decent in our 2/3rds of the pitch, but could've done more in their 1/3rd. Paterson was disappointing today, sloppy, but wingers are never consistent.

Londoner Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Fact is at league 1 level he is an excellent player, the step up seems too big for him though. Its interesting that when we signed him he was seemingly highly rated.....but didn't go to a champ club. Im one of the few who think his best position is actually behind the striker in the middle....but he doesn't have a shot on him. A good player.....but isn't he out of contract in the summer??

rednotblue Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I can't get my head around why not Goldbourne at left back and Bryan Left Mid/Left Wing Surely more solid at the back and offer more going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Looks good and comfortable on the ball but appears to offer zero penetration in the final third and turns back far too often. He assisted for fun in league one and I really backed him to shine in this division but it just hasn't happened for him. Wouldn't be in my strongest 11.

If we are serious about being a top ten side in this league - let alone a top six one - we need attacking players that are only occasionally "ok, but not awful" and the rest of the time "lively, threatening" and, let's be plain, "on fire." Poor Luke is so damp a squib he'll never trouble the fire brigade (I hope someone throws this quote back at me some day). It's very sad to watch, for someone so central to our 2014/15 success.

Aipearcey Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The problem today was that he doesn't have a right foot and as soon as defenders realise this(or already knew in Williams case) then they know keep him outside and they're safe. Far more effective playing on the left wing in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The boy has ability without shadow of a doubt, unfortunately this is at league one level where he is proven. I feel a little sorry for him if I'm being honest as he gets the nod from the gaffa and can't produce the quality at Championship level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe jordans teeth Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's a case of how long do you give the lad,season and a half of not cutting at this level is much more than most get. Time he goes I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 He makes himself very easy to defend against by cutting inside every time. Waste of time on the right. Stops and passes backwards/inside from the left. He needs to introduce himself to the byline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Would be better coming on last 15/20 after Bryan had ran the legs off the fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redandy Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I thought he was hopeless. He never took a player on and beat them.When he tried he lost the ball. And when put in a good position seemed not to know what to do. I thought when he went off and Bryan came on we started to really look threatening. A great shame but still looks like a league 1 player to me. Not sure how he gets a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citysimmo Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 He's had his chance but just hasn't quite done it at this level. I'd go with Paterson / Toms / Joe as the attacking three in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P'head Red Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think he's having more of an impact this season than last season, but still much to improve on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Doesn't release it quick enough, struggles to pick a forward pass , so one footed and always tries and fails to beat his man. A shame really , I just think he is not championship standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
