BCFCGav Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Brilliant today. Said before the game I’d have gone with a more defensive minded mid. I love being wrong! Excellent Andi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, there are probably players in the squad with more silky skills and consistent passing ability...however if you want a player who will run and run and press and press for 90 minutes then he is the man. Plus he can pop up with a moment of magic now and again. Can see why Dean picks him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Weimann is a great player. He provides the engine in the team. He 100% earned his goal that came from his dispossession of the Stoke defender. The utter knobs who come on here and start threads about him are exactly that. He’s the first player on the team sheet for the big games and quite right too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Interesting how some of those who were slating his inclusion have gone very quiet since full time. Still amazed people can't see his qualities, an absolute workhorse with decent ability as well. Admittedly not a starting centre midfielder when everyone is fit imo, but a class option to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 8 Games in CM 4 assists and a 1 goal. Not to bad, especially considering the energy and work he puts in on top of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 I like Weimann a lot, and think he's a good player. I was still disappointed to see him in the first 11 today though as I was looking forward to seeing Nagy or HNM in that position - that's not hating on him.

But he had a very good game today - didn't stop running or closing down, 100% effort as usual. But once we have a couple of midfielders fit, he can revert to playing up front imo. And to the OP, no one hates anyone, just opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big dosser Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 weimann was like a jack Russel today chased everything,around the 84 min when he chased 4 to five stoke players down was fantastic. take a bow son and keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a go at you per se, but too many are fixated on what they think a midfielder should be, rather than what the player picked is doing in the role Holden wants them to play. Holden, quite obviously doesn't want Andi to play the part / role of a "conventional" midfielder. When he plays someone else he might want them to play differently. Pre-game, most people suggesting our CM3 would get over-run...without paying any attention to the opposition CM3. Holden is keeping it simple. Its working (at the mo').

Look dreadful now though. 2 league games into a new season, they haven’t suddenly changed half their team. And if anything we had players missing through injury that would of other wise played for us & arguably made us even better. I think more credit should go to us rather than belittling us by now claiming Stoke are suddenly ‘Crap’! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to hear why you now feel Stoke aren't promotion candidates, 10 days after you felt they had a chance of going up though. Seasons aren't based on the first two games, hence why these 3 points will look very good by the end of the season imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all our midfielders are fit I would be surprised if he carries on in this role ? He was always on team sheet under. LJ tenure and DH will I suspect continue this.

Harry Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Weimann is an enigma, for me. There were 4 occasions in the first half today where, with an ounce of composure he could’ve threaded a through ball and created an easy chance. But he either overhit, under hit or didn’t even hit. But because he runs and runs and runs he gets more of these opportunities fall to him. His industry often creates his success. I just wish he had just the teeniest bit of composure when trying to thread a final ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More generally, some fans fixate on what players can't do rather than what they can. Fammy is another example. They always seem to want a whipping boy, even when things are going well. Quite why they expect players at our level to have a complete, all round game is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will make it difficult for teams when playing away as they did us but no spark bar Powell whose a 1 in 5 player. So what's changed for them from last week? That's exactly the same side you said could go up. Perhaps, we just made them look very average today, led by the excellent Weimann. Sometimes it works well to give us credit when we do well instead of blaming it on the oppositions lack of performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
