If he plays well why wouldn’t you want him to stay? I think his bridge is burnt. Also I am far from convinced he has irradiated mistakes from his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His problem is Joe Bryan, since he played with a person in front of him that doesn’t wander off people are now seeing him for the player he is.

hantsred Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 played very well and dominated any aerial threat. two points... I noticed he took the safe option when being closed down today none of the trying to see it out and then getting robbed. Obviously learning from past mistakes and second point - to all the criticism of him making mistakes I ask you - what defender doesn't? He made one minor error selling Pack short today and some are picking on it - give the guy a break!! He is young and showing signs of adapting so leave alone and come to a consensus end of the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxidog Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Show me a player who doesn't make a mistake every game. He was solid today, as he was in the second half at Burton last week. The level of criticism from some on here is completely over the top - other players who make mistakes don't get the same level of scrutiny and abuse. Last week when called on at Burton he was very good, whereas Korey couldn't string a pass together - but of course this wasn't highlighted. I commend his commitment and attitude. He's a very important part of our squad, considering he's the one who's picked/dropped depending on who else is injured or suspended. A lot of players would sulk and not give their all when treated like that - not Hörður. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the point I'm making at all. As I said the other day, this forum was pretty much in unanimous agreement that Derrick Williams wasn't up to scratch and were happy to get rid, but he's more solid at both centre back and left back than Magnússon. People like to use the "Magnússon is still learning" line, but Williams is the same age and didn't cost us £3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 When considering Hörður, we’d all do well to remember how shit Flinty was at the start. Hörður is young. Decision making can be taught. It’s a tough learning curve, but we’ll see good things from him in the future I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 16 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: still I thought today summed Mags up. He was solid, looked a decent championship CB and played well. Then on about 70 minutes he made a rick, passed the ball short and would have left them clear but Pack had to make a tackle which he barely got to. Thats him in a nutshell - he can look great for 89 minutes, but has a mistake in him every game. It has to be mental, and on that basis, it has to be something he can solve. For me, he’s 4th at CB and 2nd at LB. On that basis there’s no way I’d sell him as he’s plenty good enough as a squad player, but I’ll never be 100% confident with him starting until he sorts the above out. I can give you another way of looking at it. Magnússon and Bailey Wright made less mistakes than all - They gave the ball away less. As a general picture that is what Magnússon provides at CB (V LB). More retention of the football for a team that is based on building through the thirds (?). There have been matches this season particularly when City move away from passing to feet error has led to a team struggling to make four or five consecutive passes e.g. Cardiff away. Passing team? If the intent is to be a fluid passing team, playing through the thirds error has to be an accepted part of the teams play, but value has to be placed upon those who help that team build through those thirds v being solid, get rid because that leads to even more mistake and error.

It looked like his knee went the wrong way. Let's hope it doesn't bugger up his World cup hopes. I will admit, I had forgotten all about Jens Hegeler so was wondering who we had left at CH, would Eros play there and put Josh to RB? On came the forgotten big German, I guess we're gonna need him now. I watched on a stream yesterday. Looked like Jens was very assured? Is that the consensus? 6’4” and cultured on the ball. Very useful player to have around at this stage of this season. 13 hours ago, Aaron-Bcfc said: And he's Icelandic, milks clapping the fans and is funny on social media.

Weird. Almost unanimous. I think there’s a player in there. At 25 he’s probably no worse than Flint was at the same age and playing a higher level. The comparison shouldn’t be with Flint though. Totally different types of CB. He will be coming into his prime, can play CB or LB. He had some very good games in the pre-Xmas run. Yep, made mistakes too. Needs to iron out undoubtedly, but I’d keep him in our squad. If Baker or Flint were to go in the summer?????? 3 hours ago, Aaron-Bcfc said: That's not the point I'm making at all.

A LCB who’d improved massively since making his debut under SOD and a guy who defended for his life. Got better on the ball too. Another CB moving into his prime years. Accept he might not be a top 6 CB, but over the next 3/4 seasons can see him being very dependable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I believe Maggy's weakness is his over reliance on his left peg . It makes him look awkward when he receives certain balls as he needs time to get them under control. For what it's worth I rate the lad and his qualities outweigh his deficiencies. He also seems to have learnt from Bakes and Wright how to lean into a forward to win his headers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not have started the 14/15 season has Osborne not got injured! All history though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
