Alex_BCFC Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 A better game against very poor oppo. Still feel is a liability against quality but he has at least improved since start of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's struck me most recently is the improvement of his passing, been playing brilliant some brilliant long balls recently. Do agree RE Magnússon though. Glad to see him getting some proper praise on here. yup should have had a assists with a lovely pass putting famara clean through on goal at the weekend. His all round game just gets better and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Maggers you have a centre half who can actually bring the ball out of defence, pick out decent passes etc. Baker and certainly not Flint are really capable of that. It was a significant contribution to our overall play today. Flint can't play out from the back? I take it you missed his assist for Paterson at home to Middlesbrough earlier this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a guy who continually spanked it down the channels to no-one in particular....nothing against Maggers, but you obviously watched a different game...

It was a significant contribution to our overall play today. Said in another thread, but I think because Flint looks so awkward on the ball people seem to have this impression of him, whereas in reality his range of passing is exceptional for a championship level centre back. Can't think of many others that can play 2 defence splitting through balls in the air and on the deck in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he didn't, really, yesterday no one did that apart from the odd occasion in second half. it was all about palying out from the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 8 hours ago, BS4 on Tour... said: I still don’t think he’s learned the ‘key fact’ - he dwelt on the ball for way too long at one point yesterday and put us bang in trouble....he does this way too much. He just needs to eliminate it from his game...he’s done it too much eg Cardiff home and away and Man City at home to name but three.... Agreed he holds on to the ball longer than what’s needed. He always looks to keep the ball on the deck where possible, drags strikers out of position by holding on to it giving more time and space to Smith/Pack. The errors we saw against Man City and Cardiff seem to have stopped. He’s not letting the ball go out under pressure, he’s putting challenges in if he keeps his spot in the team I’m confident he’d be a championship standard defender come May.

Needs a bit more muscle and, more importantly, aggression. He got bundled into our net off the ball by a Wednesday forward and said/did nothing about it. You'd never see anyone trying that on with baker or flint. Mags is definitely improving, but that aggression is a vital asset he needs to add to become a solid championship centre back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly something thats been worked on because he didnt used to be but his distribution is much better than say 1/2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Maggers did well Saturday and also did well against Fulham. I couldn't help but laugh though when he pile-drove that cross field ball out of play near the end on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't your parents teach you any manners? As someone else mentioned, I must have been watching a different game. But, the game I was watching Maggers was bringing the ball out defence and getting involved with some pretty intricate passes with Pack/Smith. Whilst its true Flint has improved his distribution, I have never seen him do this to the extent of Maggers on Saturday. HUH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe what this does show is that possibly LJ has told him to play simpler as a lot of the passes are sideways or backwards and very short. Also the passes given away are longer which tells its own story. Thought he was average Saturday. Did what was expected against a team that didn’t test him, too many getting carried away because he didn’t **** up for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did what I would hope a ball playing centre back would do distribute the ball successfully and simply retaining possession versus inviting pressure onto the team from lost possession e.g. numerous members of the team over recent weeks. I believe the improvement was due to being at CB, and the improvement across the team was in the teams selection and shape which encourages to feet rather than longer. Regarding your he didn't **** up for once. How many errors defensive errors has he made leading to goals this season in the league? Yes passes given away are longer. A norm. However another player whose passing accuracy improved significantly Saturday was Fielding due to dropping the ball short into the option of Magnússon showing for it.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Do you change the back four after a good performance though? For me Mags starts tomorrow regardless of Bailey's fitness and if we defend well again, he starts again against Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie literally rolls it to baker and flint exactly the same and has done all season. Magnússon played 5/10 yard passes all game to flint or Bryan and sometimes pack when he dropped in. Anybody who’s played a bit of football can do that. He is still the weak link in our team and performing to a standard the same as everyone else on Saturday doesn’t mean he has become a good player for us yet. Have to agree to disagree on him. If baker is fit Magnússon doesn’t play simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though i expect both play if Baker is still out as pisano might be rested. LJ was full of praise post match for Hörður's performance on Saturday which suggests that Wright will be on the bench. at Deepdale. Personally I hope LJ shares my view of not changing a winning team.

If baker is fit Magnússon doesn’t play simple There have been games where Frankie Fielding recently has not been rolling it out or playing it to feet consistently. A obvious example was Cardiff. Magnussons passes are not 5/10 yards, and that is a fact. That map confirmed it. And neither were they played (spanked!!) into channels as you stated. Magnussons passing ability at centre back is an asset. Note not RB. You have not answered the question regarding defensive error leading to goals?

Lew-T Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I wouldn’t change the back four too much from Saturday if possible. If Pisano is struggling then Wright has to come in but I would leave Mags at CB. You can see his confidence is growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
