Communication is so important for a defender and it'll take a while. Being 'fit' and 'match fit' are different things too - in my opinion we should give him the benefit of the doubt over pre season. Wait until the season starts. Absolutely. Like I said, hope first impressions are wrong. I cant believe some people above actually thought he looked good today!

Bar BS3 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 He did not play well today. I'm not writing him off, just giving my thoughts on first impressions. Against a team that put us under zero pressure he managed to constantly lose his man when they did try to lumber forwards. His positioning was all over the place. He just looked like a lost sheep out there today. Based only on today, Little was 10 times better. I'm concerened that against championship players he's going to be a massive weak link. As I've already also said a couple of times on this thread, I hope I'm wrong and that in a couple of months time I'll pull this thread back up myself and apologise for such hasty doubts of his ability. I really do hope that I need to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazes me how precious some people get when people just comment on players, whether a potential signing or current players performance. It's amazing how people write a season off before a ball is kicked or a player off based on 45 minutes of football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, surely he must have won some sort of competition, with first prize of a professional football contract! He looks the part, but he makes Brian Mitchell look like a right footed Paulo Maldini. Not very encouraging early signs in afraid. Wow!!! Hope our scouts dont judge a player on 90mins of a pre season game I watched Greg Goodridge on his debut for City If i never watched him again He would be right up there with Messi Thing is i judge players over a season or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm hardly jumping for joy that we've signed a 30 year old from Serie B on a free, but I don't think he looked too bad today. I hope you didn't go to the manor farm game though, some of his crosses landed on the duel carrigeway, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSMRobin Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Based on yesterday's performance alone, can't comment on his defending as he wasn't tested. Going forward was ok except his crosses were always collected by the keeper. For me, more composed than little but not an upgrade on ayling. Hopefully he will prove me wrong once the season gets underway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some others appear to have not been concerned, so I hope to god that they are right and I was being over critical. In which case, I've already said (twice) that I'll revive this thread myself and make a humble apology for this assessment We will see soon enough if he is capable of better, although I'm currently very concerned that we've now got a huge wink link in our starting 11, at Championship level. You say "more nagativity from me"... I think many on here would regard me more as a LJ supporting, club defending, happy clapper type. So quite where you get "more negativity" from suggests you don't know a great deal about my usual views on things bcfc related. Now bore off. I had enough of your drivel on the Henbury Gas thread.

You keep saying how bad he was, but I've not seen you explain what he did that was so bad? (apologies if I've missed it). I wasn't there so can only go on what people have said and the highlights, during which he played a lovely reverse pass to O'Dowda for one of the goals btw. So what was so bad?
