TRL Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 1 hour ago, RedSA said: JD a far superior left back. I think Rowe has improved a lot in LB as he has learned his role but really lacks pace. Unfortunately it means he stands off his man for fear of getting beaten and results in us conceding a lot of crosses in from his side. All first half they were targeting his side as it was so easy to get a cross in and it was no surprise when the ball came in from there for the first goal. Fair play to him for standing in manfully but it’s a real shame we’re missing Jay for the next 4-5 months. Also because Dasilva would have linked up with the technical play of Kasey, Nagy and Massengo beautifully. Yup he would of (jay) if they weren't all I jured as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 I thought he had a right old battle with Marvin Johnson today, and they both gave as good as they got. Pretty much the same man for man across the pitch. There were some really good tussles to watch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen didn’t really cause him that uncomfortable an afternoon on Saturday. Good footballer and under rated by many when we brought him in but having seen him a few times now he’s a 100% player and gives his all as well as capable of scoring a few goals. Got to say I’ve been really impressed with him so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 If we had paid a small fee for him we would be over the bloody moon but a free transfer...................he's a decent player who looks like he's cost a few bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Very good signing, captain in Doncaster, a bit naughty, we need that. Played the ball to COD and running in to position, goal. He is needed in this young team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best signing for money easily. He's actually considered 4th best player in the Championship ratings, for performances after 5 games. Some achievement. Love the way he goes about his game.

Got a goal..but no more than a 7 for me. Eliasson, Weimann, Afobe, Hunt, quite a few better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Seems to have excellent tactical intelligence on top of his natural fitness, application and affability. He adjusts well when we change shape and although may be limited as a tackler his positional sense as a LB seems solid. I saw him in pre-season and had quiet high hopes. He now is showing that he's just the kind of senior player this side needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Bristol City’s James Milner. Sadly I missed yesterday’s game but I really like the look of him. It’s funny that the most underwhelming signings are often the best ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
