Dastardly and Muttley Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Deserves his own thread tonight. Watched on the red button tonight, as an exile in Maidenhead. Webster was head and shoulders above everything on the pitch, won every battle and had some brilliantly timed tackles and interceptions as well. Quality young player who is only going to get better. With him, Max, Lloyd and Zak we have a quality set of young defenders (and keeper) coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Classy....all he needs to do is add goals to his game and he will be nearly as good as Flinty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I ******* love him. For someone that young he carries/passes the ball ridiculously well, and reads the game so well too. Will be worth huge money in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Was saying tonight that he’s shown some real class in the last few games. Defensively give me him over Flint any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC OF SWEDEN Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 MOM He is a much better defender than Flint! Of course we miss Flint in our corners and freekicks but not in our own penalty area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 He really was that good. Great for Kalas in his first game back, hardly touched the ball just let Webster get on with it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman_Red Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Definitely worth all the praise he's getting in this thread. In a game full of mediocre performances he really stood out. Reads the game really well, hence why he seemed to be in the right place at the right time all night. I'm very confident in our centre backs at the moment. Especially with Kelly to slot in if needed. 5th best defence in the league currently too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnCider Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 My MoM too. When Hunt seemed AWOL in the first half Webster calmly dealt with most situations. Classy performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I havent seen tonight's game yet - wife decided to book tickets to see Bohemian Rhapsody at the last minute - she forgot about the match!! Being in Essex it was only going to be red button for me anyway. What I have seen of Webster, and going by what others have said in reports, he seems a very good defender, with the potential to get better. The reason we were able to get him, and get him for what we paid, was because of his injury record. If he can stay injury free, then I think we have a bargain on our hands. He can read the game, bring the ball out, and looks fairly solid - so far. Sounds like another solid performance from him tonight. Look forward to watching the game later.

Dullmoan Tone Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 When he first came I didn't think he was that quick, but tonight he looked pacy. Loved the way he is starting to bring it out of defence as well as his cross field passes (just not too often please - Pack fell into this trap).

Redstoke Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 My 8 year old lad has number 4 Webster printed on his city shirt. Someone said to me earlier "blimey mate he must be the only person in the ground with Webster on his shirt!!" am thinking quite a few more no 4 Webster shirts will be printed if he keeps this up!! Looked quality tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Glad this thread has appeared. Head and shoulders above everything on the pitch tonight. A calm, composed, intelligent display. He’s been solid for most of the season and is really getting better and better. Our defence is much more solid with him in it than Flint ( since some are comparing).

Good at shorter passing on the ground. His long passing is atrocious and gets way too much air under it. Webster’s long passes are more driven and thus more successful.

Reckon it comes off about 3-4 out of 10. His vision, his short to medium passing outstanding at times. So yea you can quote me as saying he can’t pass but let us just set the record straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aden Flint v Swindon in that 3-0 game in the title winning season puts everything in the shade since Louis Carey at Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen Flint play as well as Webster did tonight, but different types of CB, even though imho Webster is even starting to win all his headers too. The closest Flint performance for me was away v Brighton where we won 1-0....but that was a ‘block it, head it, get something in the way of it” type performance. I don’t remember anything spectacular from Flint v Swindon, but memorable for the interview afterwards. Opinions though. Didnt see Carey v Forest.

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Simply superb tonight and MOM by a country mile. He never looks flustered or in trouble and, as others have said, reads the game better than any City defender I`ve seen in a long time. I bet Ipswich wish they still had him.

Few overreactions in this thread I think. Webster’s growing on me after what I thought was a slow start but we’ll see how he develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
