I can see why he might have set that as a target if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 That's excellent news about DaSilva! I hesitate about rushing players back after a lengthy layoff though- but it's a tough balancing act when we are in the race for the top 6. Kalas- wow that's longer than thought!

mozo Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Rowe has been Milneresque covering left back, but DaSilva is a player that we need in the side. This would be great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Kala's; wasn't it great to see Taylor Moore play so well when he came on? We've got options for places and more to come back.

I had a brief chat with him at h-t, but I didn’t ask re injury. The main commentator, Toby, told me the other week that sometimes the players can get a bit fed of being asked about their injuries all the time....so I refrained from asking. So good to hear.

We are in a good place when all are fit. Think Baker has reminded a few how solid he can be. There was one bit today (not long after Grant’s goal and us going 3-1 up) where Grant dragged Williams short and then spun him, but Baker anticipated, covered in behind him and headed away. He passed it pretty well today too. And let’s not forget Wright, he came in last week v Forest and was really solid. Yes, he got exposed v Brom, but it’s not like he was the only one.

Mihai Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 We have Baker now, and Moore looks decent. As long as we keep fit Dasilva, Baker and Kalas we won`t concede that much as before. The problem for us is the conceding even if we do not have a good striker. Imagine...8 goals less than now and we could be 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, they're possibly not fit for purpose. I just hope they'll be good enough for back up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes spot on... add in Wright always committing unnecessary silly fouls that either waste our FKs into opposition box, or gift the opposition free crossing/shooting chances around our box, and it's clear Kalas & Williams should be first choice CB pairing with Moore 1st reserve.

Yeah, I sometimes think in terms of 'what would the opposition assessment be?' Clearly they'd identify both Wright and Baker as having key weaknesses: prone to giving away fouls, and likely to lose possession. You'd ask your tricky players to have a go at them, and you'd allow them to play the ball out from the back, knowing you'll often win it back.

It's a good sign for the club that players like Webster and Kalas have raised the bar in what we expect from our players. We're asking them to have Premier League ability, which is harsh on Wright, who has a Premier League attitude, but not the rest. Now that Williams has extolled that high level of composure, and Moore has been a revelation in all departments of his game, all the others have to keep up with the evolution. My intuition is that Wright and Baker won't manage that but it's always possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
