Dastardly and Muttley Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Isn’t it a strange feeling to have lost a £7mill player (and captain) but not really miss him in the games since he’s gone? Really wish him the best at Burnley and hope he does a good job in the Prem, but it’s good to see that we can absorb his departure and hopefully move forward.

bengalcub Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Disagree miss his energy in the middle of the park actually think it could be our downfall , chasing wells and losing brownhill in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henriksen looks like a very good replacement tho Really impressed with Markus Henriksen tonight. Saw him grow in confidence and after 15-20 mins, between him and Korey, they sussed out Rooney and Bird pulling short into pockets and closed them much better, culminating in forcing Derby to go back to Hamer, making him kick long. As a result we started picking up the second ball and imposed ourselves on the rest of first half. He eventually tired....unsurprisingly....and final 20 we hung on (although had chances to score on break). As I remembered from Hull, he has a bit of everything. I liked that he didn’t just play it safe tonight. He was the player breaking into the channel, winning the corner just before half-time from which we went 2-0 up. Very impressive debut. Reminds me a bit of Schneiderling in his Southampton days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of Schneiderling in his Southampton days. He was also incredibly disciplined. Our previous Number 8 would go chasing the ball and leave gaps behind him. Henriksen kept his shape and kept things tight. The one main thing we’ve missed since Pack’s departure, someone who can just sit in a shape, stay disciplined, don’t panic and protect the CB’s. Particularly when Korey went off, Henriksen stayed very well shaped. Was a delight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s OOC in Summer Would thi as a free he’d have a fair few offers , probably from around Europe , but if he enjoys his time here .... a possibility I guess.

bcfc01 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 An upgrade on Brownhill imo. A very good signing for us. Takes a bit of pressure off Massengo and Nagy who are undoubtedly very talented players but not yet used to the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the type of player we’ve needed for a while The timing of some of his challenges for someone who hasn’t had a competitive game for months was very impressive Really liked him Canny too with a couple of professional tugs and fouls.

Hampshire Red Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Don't expect Josh to see many minutes at Turf Moor so if we lose Smith or any other midfielders, could we get him back on loan for the final push?

Erm, I thought our midfield was simply awful against Brum. Slow, confused, full of fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I don't think we will miss Brownhill, and Henriksen look class last night. But he hasn't been here long, and it normally takes a few weeks for our ability removal coaching to take full effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
