HLR Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 47 minutes ago, Phileas Fogg said: 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. The first picture actually is from Chesterfield away in 14/15, which was the last away game of the campaign. The other one is from first home game of 15/16. Just for balance...

Ones from the end of April, ones from early august. That, in my book, is over the course of one preseason. It's perfectly possible to add a fair amount of muscle over the course of three months.

Disagree with you both but I've got better things to do than debate a football player's physique on a Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you disagree with about HLR's post? He hasn't put any opinion to disagree with, just fact. The first photo is Chesterfield away, by which time we'd already won the title. The second was Brentford at home, the first game of the following season, in which Freeman got sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowleUtd City Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Taking everything into account, I thought it was a very good debut from Famara, he showed some lovely touches, strength, and looked very physical! He had a ball fizzed into him with their centre half right up his backside, and he took it on the half turn and left the CB for dead, he also took a high ball down dropping over his shoulder right on the touchline beautifully, he made most of his runs to the near post first half, and every cross got chipped to the far post, and in the second half Pisano hit a cross near post, and he'd drifted to the back post, given that he has only been here a week, give it a few games, and work on the training ground, and we'll have a top player on our hands!

KnowleUtd City Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Also I should say that, i'm fully aware that it's only Yeovil, but we played some sensational stuff yesterday at times. Great to see this young team coming together, if we can find that consistency that eluded us last season, hopefully we'll be in for a less stressful time.

At times yesterday I found myself applauding and saying "lovely football" as we knocked it about and formed some lovely patterns of play. My concerns about Pisano are best left to the other contentious thread, but it was great to see Patto looking like he's ready to pick up where he left off at the end of last season.

Glad it's not all doom and gloom for some. Thanks. 1 minute ago, Bicester Red said: poor scoring record! Why did we buy him I hope I am wrong? Who, Famara? 8 in 31 in French top league. Same scoring ratio here in 46 would be 12. Okay, we'd want a few more, but if he got 15/16 (that's 3 or 4 more than his French top League ratio....in a low scoring, defensive Angers side) that would be a decent return. The often quoted 1 in 2 benchmark, is not a benchmark, it's a high set bar that only the top strikers achieve in this country over a series of seasons. Of course there are exceptions. If you take out penalties from some strikers it brings that ratio down too. Lets also not forget that we should judge him on not just goals, but team contribution, assists etc. Who was our striker in the playoff season...name escapes me....9 goals wasn't it, from about 35 appearances?

"Freeman didn't bulk up" There is something about that bloke which wound me up whilst he was here, and even more so looking back now. Must be the long hair, gypo look, muggy cockney accent.

The fact he couldn't get assists from open play and he'd be out until the early hours of Sunday almost every week annoyed me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the end of last season showed that with the partnerships of Flint & Wright, and Pack & Smith in the spine of the team we can be a force, lots of promise from the young lads, Brownhill, Paterson, O'dowda, & Reid, coupled with the new right back & striker and we are starting to look pretty sensible! Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
