grifty Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Defensively superb, one the ball not great today, 3 or 4 very poor passes could have got us in trouble. Still a clean sheet and only 2 real chances created by Watford with what could be perceived as our 2nd string centre backs isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyner is currently well ahead of him on form, outstanding again. Vyner's last ditch tackle on Quina on 16 minutes and a superb block to repel Sarr's stinging shot 60 seconds later really stood out.

watkins1983 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Can’t praise TM enough tonight. We need to realise how good our defence is, ZV is another level for me, be surprised if someone doesn’t come in for him next years. But for me tonight, without Kalas the boys were absolutely superb.

1960maaan Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Very raw back 3, Vyner looks to be improving, Rowe is never a CB and Taylor Moore has suffered from, and gained from the injuries. He has been the one to play on his wrong side, playing LCB when no one else seems to want it. I think he could do with a run in his favoured position, but agree with above, some very good mixed with some very bad. But he did make some important blocks. I think he'll get steadier with minutes.

But also covered really well at some points fixing others errors with some great anticipation. The central centre half is definitely his best position IMO. You see the player he could be, and also why he shouldn't be in our first team based on tonight's performance. I saw it the same too. Did was really good stuff, but got caught on a couple of occasions where his awareness / concentration let’s him down. Even that low ball into the box late on which comes to him on the bounce gets “scloofed” behind for a corner....it’s little things like that. I enjoyed the thumping header on Deeney, but a few minutes before he got caught 2/3 yards off and fouled him. Great result in context of the last couple of weeks, but if we harbour play off ambitions we have to critique performances likes Taylor’s tonight. He did a decent job, and I hope it boosts his confidence. I thought Rowe was dodgy first half (rusty?) but came back well after Sarr skinned him early the second half.

watkins1983 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I thought Rowe was excellent tonight, you might expect a 40million player to teach him a lesson?

All I would say about Rowe is he clearly isn’t a CB, had never played there in his entire career & wouldn’t be doing so now if Baker & Mawson were fit. Far easier for a natural CB like Moore to play on the left of a 3 than a bloke to play completely out of position. That said, his attitude & availability record (unlike certain others) are outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 He is pretty sound most of the times but he does make really poor mistakes at times. If he can cut those out he will play at a higher level than the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 People saying Rowe looked dodgy but we must remember he's played most of his career in midfield, we're lucky to have someone who can fill in for emergencies. He knows his limitations and generally tries to keep it simple, thought he put in a professional performance and he rarely lets the side down.

Funnily enough all the defence bar poss Rowe made big errors tonight but all played pretty well apart from that. I like Rowe but I’m pretty sure he made multiple glaring errors last night. The dodgy cross ball throw in in the first half. Too eager to challenge on a number of occasions and getting turned. Left flat footed for a ball over the top leaving Pedro free to run down and goal and a last ditch sliding block from Moore was needed second half. The turn back and cross-box pass that caused chaos and put us under massive pressure in the box too second half. He had a better second than first but thought he was the weakest of the 3 IMO last night. To be fair though, not really his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right but it does raise significant alarm bells that Mariappa wasn't fit enough (and it was better to playing Rowe out of position). Especially as we signed him for such a short period - not playing him makes no sense when Kalas, Baker and Mawson are all injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutton Caveman Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I was really glad to see that Deaney did not rattle him when he came on If he can just eliminate the 2-3 silly mistakes per game he could be the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thought TM did well last night, particularly as 1st start since the error against brough, which is bound to knock you confidence a little. Seems to be a core of OTIB who want him as the latest villain and get over excited by any mistake so they can rush to post and slag off, high lighting any errors whilst ignoring some of the covering and other good bits, but never rushing to post when its Vyner or jay making a similar mistake. I wish we had a lot more players like him at our club, remember this is a young lad who took a pay cut so he could continue at the club, the same person who also knocked on LJ's door and asked to be captain, I am sure if we stand by him we will have a great player in the future.

BTRFTG Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Only once did he nearly cost us, easily made up for by one outstanding sliding tackle when they were through on goal. Otherwise he was excellent against top notch opposition. Loved it when Deeney came on and first challenge he let him have one free of charge. We don't need to be finding scapegoats in a very accomplished team performance but if you must do so look no further than JD who gifts the ball with abandon and though usually that's high up the park, did so last night in and around our box.

I am really impressed with Vyner too - he has been getting better and better the last month. When you consider we sold Lloyd Kelly for 13M - we could be sat on another 30M quid of players in the near future if they keep progressing.

Funny you should mention Lloyd Watched him a few times recently and you can still see some class , ability and more potential , but still prone to the odd error and being caught not switched on defensively and thought If he was £13 million what value do you put on Zak Lloyd probably has more potential but he’s not way ahead of Zak I also watched Matt Clarke at Derby last night and a couple of times this season , who we were linked with at one point - went to Brighton for ??Million Numerous errors and looks very ordinary at best atm - and I wouldn’t swop TM or Zak for him right now Our fans would be going banzai if TM or Zak we’re performing like that On the subject of Derby, how the hell does Andre Wisdom continue to earn a living at this level ?

His value was inflated by the fact he was an England 21 no doubt, but we did great business. There was almost a concensus on Otib for goodness sake ! I saw LK play left back the other game - he was bombing up that wing. Did you see his cross for their goal?
