Poor goal, just glad it didn't cost us any points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Alligator Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 He's a good player. Understands what role he's expected to play within the team, applies himself professionally and the for most part is effective whilst on the pitch. Happy he's here. Incidentally, I'm beginning to think that Atkinson could become a very similar asset for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Haven’t looked at the stats but it seems like James has played a key role in a fair few of our goals scored so far. Either directly with the assist or having a key contribution to the passage of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw his performances when he first arrived (especially away from home,) they were marked by a, heads up, get forward quickly attitude every time he got the ball. The absolute anthesis of the possession, death by inches crab crap Johnson played as a player and incorrectly thought to be a solution as manager. He ruined Massengo by forcing him to play his system (sic), as he did many other players. Last night the crowd reaction told all as to what we've been missing under Johnson & his legacy. Quick attacking football. It's as though some had forgotten it even existed. FWIW I think LJ’s rigid tactics stifled HNM’s natural game. Not sure it ruined him per se….but your summary of his early games is spot on and is the kind of play we’ve started to see again under NP. Its good to see more of the “old” () Massengo under NP. Was going nowhere under Holden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played some decent stuff at times with some decent movement. Matty James stands out though for me . Thought he was outstanding . Absolute class before every game in the warm ups you see him talking to players etc etc Its just intelligence as a player and experience that brings the quality during games Alex Scott and pring also other young players will only benefit having him to play alongside, I'm honestly looking forward to when Pearson can sign more players not disappointed yet.

Thought he was absolutely fantastic last night. Going to be a really important part of the jigsaw going forwards. Would make him skipper personally as well.

Fontaineofallknowledge Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I love watching James-oozes quality and is clearly a good egg. Speaks really well and you can imagine he has a massive influence behind the scenes. he took a high ball out the air lovely last night-a touch that really looked like premier league quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ostrich Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Grimes is a great player at that level for sure but the Sky love in for him compared to Matty James was bullshit. The bloke is just class for the division, sad that he isn’t playing Premier League football. Could still be part of the squad at Leicester had he not had a catastrophe of injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays like this consistently moving forward, then this is the HNM at his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
