He can’t be anywhere near match fit , hence why he came off at half time. Fairly sure the half time sub was more linked to being ineffective.

Port Said Red Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Perhaps Morrell did a better job than some think, Grealish ran the game in the 2nd half without Joe to keep him in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Wales looked a lot worse when Moore went off, meant they had no focal point up front to aim at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got to remember it is only Wales .... our current midfield and the midfielders chosen on the bench would get into the welsh squad ... just because joe is in the Welsh starting 11 doesn’t guarantee him a place in our match day squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn’t seem a bit odd to you? We had basically no cm cover on the bench last week but O’Dowda made it over Morrell? Idk it doesn’t look like a great situation looking at all the odd little bits through this thread imo. No, we had Chris Brunt. The conspiracy theories are way off the mark.

He was playing some decent prem players and hasn't played in a while I just had reasonable high hopes following his very positive press he's received He didn’t have a good game tonight. Couldn’t get on the ball. He usually plays where Ampadu did tonight, at the base of the midfield. Even if they play more of a two, he’ll be the deeper one....Giggs’s safety net. Tonight he was playing more advanced, butting up against Winks and he rarely got on the ball. When he did it was neat and tidy, but Wales rarely penetrated the England midfield. Second half they got overrun - might’ve been different had Joe stayed on, might not have. No idea. No agendas from me....not his best tonight. In some respects playing against England is gonna be hard. Hopefully he will start again against Ireland on Sunday and have a better game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope he.gets another crack at it on Sunday and pushes on I'll say it again.. young with potential. Not having a dig, I'm sure he could be our next gem. Just didn't see anything great tonight.

Having read so much about him on here and his rave reviews from previous Wales games, I hoped for more Still young, lots of potential I'm sure The problem is apart from a few brief cameo appearances, nobody on here regularly watched him play. I found it mildly amusing how so many were experts on his performances and had him pencilled into for our starting line up after playing at LINCOLN.

Yes he was quite but he can't get on the ball if they won't give it to him, Dave. Much more of their possession went through Williams but that's not Joe's fault and they certainly didn't improve after he was subbed. Like you say, he was neat and tidy nor did he look out of place. A nice chipped pass into the area which created a chance for Moore, too. He'll do for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only go from what you hear and as far as I’m aware it was only good reports from his spell at Lincoln. Personally I would have expected Williams and Walsh to start if both fit going into the season but wouldn’t at all have been surprised if Morrell started in their absence, had he not got injured himself. Also worth pointing out that Bakinson spent last season playing at PLYMOUTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time Grealish did anything in the first half was when he went wider and further forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Harsh on Morrell he was just up against far better players. Grealish was superb last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
