Super Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 What's happened to him? Was pretty poor against Fulham I agree but who wasn't?! Was impressed with him before that game. We seem to buy these players see them for a few games then they get ditched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourne End Red Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 He will randomly appear again around mid April would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I think he just needs the rest, he openly admitted the pace of the English game was something he wasn't used too. I also think he averages around 25 games a season so playing so many in a short time may have been a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Been thinking the same, looked classy and composed in the games prior to that. I think he could be great in a 4-2-3-1, alongside O'Neill, Pack or Smith as one of the sitting two midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjam!n Ultra Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Refused to keep passing backwards, played a few forward balls and LJ doesn't think that's how a midfielder should play. After all, LJ was highly successful midfield general in his day and he never needed to pass forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Red Cyril Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 To be honest I think he looked decent signing before Fulham game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinsleburg Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Going forward I think Hegeler and Smith will be our first choice CM pairing, Hegeler looks classy and composed on the ball but doesn't actually cover that much ground, Korey covers enough for two people though and think they would compliment each other well!

And Its Smith Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I believe he can only play in a midfield three as he offers nothing defensively. I'd play 4-3-3 and have a midfield three of GON, Smith and Hegeler. He's classy on the ball so let's play him and give him freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtonwurzel Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 My guess would be is that he wants out and may have "downed tools" a bit behind the scenes. His signing was "to good to be true" both price and performance wise (Fulham apart). Not ITK but very strange (even in the current mad house) for him not to be playing. Not very happy with his agent I would expect !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Don't worry he'll play against Wigan as a false 9 and perhaps vs Huddersfield at Right Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Cant imagine him fancying playing in the third tier in England to be honest.. how many champions league and bundesliga appearances has he racked up? Quite a few if I remember and all fairly recent.. lets see how well it will be to sell him away trips to Port Vale and Gillingham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Would certainly have been a better option to bring on than Tomlin, who apart from one clearance hoof, made zero impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Just another victim of Johnson's clueless team selection. It seems he will make a decision to drop after one poor game then they sit it out for weeks on end until he randomly picks them again. Look at Reid - disappeared for weeks then given a run. Same with Wilbs. I suspect they have both had their go and will find themselves back out now. This bloke is definitely now the worst coach we've had in my 40 years supporting bcfc.

Scrumpty Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Has looked class in all but the Fulham game, as others have stated. However, he's nowhere near as good as Marlon Pack. -------- Josh Brownhill has looked class in all but the Fulham game. However, he's nowhere near as good as Bobby Reid. -------- Milan Djuric...

Nice piece of 'fake news' there. Fact is that Hegeler was utter garbage against Fulham and got dropped. End of. Since then Korey Smith has come in and supplied the energy and workrate that we were lacking in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's very lucky we bought all our experienced players pre season and didn't have to rely on 'foreign imports' who are ' a big gamble' and 'take time to bed' in to drag us out the shit in January.
