SedRA Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 What a difference Korey makes at RB. Tenacity, pressure, positional sense, tracking, tackling, all brilliant. Made us look a lot more solid defensively. Happy keeping him there for now until we can get a proper RB in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Best move we've made all season. He's the best right back we've got and we should've done it a lot earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engvall's Splinter Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Has provided the balance needed of late. Pace can get him out of trouble and appears more comfortable on the ball than I'd given him credit. Big boost having him in the side. As is O'Neil.

Fordy62 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thought Joe Bryan & Aden Flint were really excellent too. Them & Smith were more deserving of MOTM for me The whole back four just clicked for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 That was the player we all hope JB can be. Didn't put a foot wrong. And absolutely agree re KS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Smith did well tonight, but easy to get carried away. What I like most about him at right back is on the ball. Gets it under, shifts it to a position where his angles aren't cut out, and confident to knock it into feet and look to get it back...all helped my playing in midfield. Up against a talented winger tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthered Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Really like Korey as right back. We were week on that flank and teams exploited it. we look a stronger back line unit with him there and hope he makes the position his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Back 4 is now settled and it makes a huge difference. Korey has been fantastic at RB. Bryan had a good game and I think it has a fair amount to do with the fact that O'Dowda also had a good game. They were a great partnership down that left side tonight, covering each other.

Red Army 75 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 When I was in Spain pre season. Johnson said Korey smith is a right back option. Apparently played there for Norwich a couple of times. Good move by Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 87 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Such a good RB in his early career he was converted to CM at League 1, maybe going back to his rightlful place? Genuinely debatable point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rag Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 What I really like about his performance was his constant communication with the rest of the defence. It's been our greatest weakness. Anyone that has played in a back four knows the importance of this simple but essential skill. Simple, keep that back 4 we stay up. His distribution was also excellent.

RedM Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 When Korey first went to Right Back I thought he was wasted there and could do a better job further up the pitch to support our lone striker. But tonights performance shows just how good he is there, and what a difference a decent right back makes to everybody. The defence is more settled, no longer looking so nervy, Korey can push up allowing the midfielders to cover him or push up themselves and it just clicked. There was a lot of talk by Barnsley fans saying because of an injury Lee Johnson 'accidently' found a formula that worked as he had to use players didfferently. Maybe Korey's move to right back is our 'Barnsley' moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Fairly sure that LJ has stated before that Korey Smith could become a very good right back, but Korey does not see himself as a right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
