EnclosureSurge Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 It doesn't bode well: “We’ve signed a £5m striker and we didn’t get him a touch for 15 minutes" (Lee Johnson, club website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthered Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 He done well,teamed up with Reid and looked a threat, some very clever touches and good in the air, needs a few games with his new team mates and early signs for me are that he looked good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't ever look like scoring but showed a few great touches, a willingness to drop deep and link play and gets himself up into aerial challenges. Only question mark for me would be his pace, but that was hard to tell today in a game where they sat deep and the game was never stretched. As an additional point, I thought Hinds looked half decent in the second half. Better than mclousky, from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think it was Taylor-Moore by the look of him but can't think who else it could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like he is now ready for mens football, might make some mistakes due to experience but IMO him and Mags will make an excellent CB pairing in 2 years if we can keep them both happy.

Pezo Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 On Diedhiou - not sure. IMO he didnt look great against a poor defence but that may have been how we were playing more than anything else (lots of floaty slow balls up to him). Some quality first touches when he dropped deep but poor shooting and finishing when chances were given. Obviously only one game but struck me as a Hesky type player - lots of spirit, battle and hard work, but probably needs to work with a finisher if were going to get anywhere as a team. Only pre season and not sure of the preparation beforehand but overall we need to be much quicker - far too lackluster and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't judge too much from pre season, most teams will look slow and pedestrian, as the pitches don't get watered before kick off the majority of the time, so the ball doesn't zip across the turf.

And Its Smith Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 If being judged on one game then I'd say strength great touch good In the air good Passing poor pace average He doesn't look like a striker to play on the shoulder and there were times when Reid was further up field than him. But seems to link up play well and just hope his passing was rusty and his pace not there yet as first game. As for the others, the standouts were Flint, Bryan, Brownhill, Pato, COD, Moore. Reid must improve his short passing. Magnússon needs to get stronger. Fielding flappy as per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really at all, this is a bit like the myth that Freeman 'bulked up'. You can't 'bulk up' very easily in the space of a few months when doing heavy cardio. He'd have to be eating an extraordinary amount to add any noticeable size at all with careful monitoring along with a good weights programme. Difficult to facilitate when he's been out on loan at Bury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, Football is an endurance game. He'd have to be eating an absolutely enormous amount and be on a heavily monitored gym regime to add size. Freeman may have grown into his body. He was 21/22 when he signed and some people don't totally thicken out until their 20s. That's a different thing to purposely 'bulking up' though. In weight training basically means attempting to add size (fat and muscle) by eating a huge amount and working out religiously with the goal of becoming bigger/heavier/stronger. As endurance athletes that's very difficult to do over a short period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Freeman didn't bulk up" You've missed the point - that early picture was taken when he first signed, and was about 21/22. He 'filled out' naturally I think over the course of the few years he was here. People go on as if he added an inordinate amount of muscle over one pre season - which is simply ridiculous and almost impossible for an endurance athlete.
