Shuffle Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I know it was a friendly but mom by a mile for me. Would be one of the first names on sheet for me but am I in the minority as yet again people are saying that he's not for them and always seems to have his critics. Not quick but he can play and wins his headers and were a better team with him in than out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Totally agree. Ran the show for us tonight. Dictated tempo, lead by example, always available and calm in possession. Seems to play less 'Hollywood passes' now but still managed some exquisite longer balls directly into a runner's stride path. Looked absolutely quality tonight. Excited to see him against better opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 A bit left field and not suggesting we suddenly play him there on Saturday but anyone see the potential for a very good centre back in Pack ? Decent in air , can tackle , and decent on the ball / distribution (Accept that going by tonight's reports we' may miss him in midfield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Probably get slated for this but he's a much better player under Johnson than he was before. Vastly underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I notice the most in his improvement. Is the time he creates for himself and his upper body strength has definitely improved. As u say always been a good player. But IMO he had stepped up quite s bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Marmite man isn't he! Some slate him. I like him but think we have better midfielders in Smith and Reid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agard Days Night Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Always been a big fan of Pack. Pleased to see he's getting more positive reviews. Should be one of the first names on the team sheet most Saturdays IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Agree @Shuffle, first name on team sheet for me these days. Just needs to be a bit more influential / the driving force. Bit like Bagpuss and the mice, when Pack plays well, City do. Would like to see him get a bit further forward during general play, as well attack the ball from set pieces. Him and Pisano could be threats whilst attention directed to Flint (cough!), Baker, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityred exile Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I like Marlon could not get tonight , however been to 4 of the friendlies and to be honest he put in 6/10 preformances in 2 of the games he had the captains arm band ahead of Korey !

One BCFC Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Pack has gone under the radar for a while now, he has formed into a good championship midfielder and all our best performances coincide with him and Smith in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Pack, and Frankie, have both suffered a bit from starting here in that dismal period back in L1 under SO'D. First impressions, and all that (especially Frankie, with that head-fit dash from his area that cost us a goal on his debuut v Bradford). That Flint was also a part and starter in that shambles shows how far he has come and in part why many of us will be sorry to see him go (it's the "journey," people, like on them tv shows). Some of our more, er, intellectually "challenged" supporters - having identified Pack as a **** and the whipping boy in 2014 - are struggling not to see him as a **** and the whipping boy in 2017 whenever anything goes wrong.

cidered abroad Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 He's good enough if we are content with lower mid table in Championship. This also applies to Flint and maybe a couple more. But if we want to seriously challenge at the top, I think we need more than they can offer us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
