Tanner

[formerly known as ivan]

How did he get on today? Obviously a win start was great but how did he perform individually?

Hoping there were good signs of being the quality right back we have been missing since Ayling left.

[Ecko]

Poor, but plenty of time to improve.

[pl00peh91]

For what it’s worth my Fotmob app says he did well, although I wasn’t there personally!

Disagree. I thought he played very well. Impressive, solid performance. 

[Jimbo76]

Out of his depth in the first half as QPR targeted our right side.

Better second.

Distribution and crossing poor but defensively did ok.

But we didn't buy a finished product. Definite potential.

Thought he was a big improvement on our other 2 right backs, and will get even better the more games he plays.

[redsince1994]

One great last ditch challenge.

Thought he was ok against some pretty tough opposition (was seriously surprised how good QPR were).

Didn't offer much going forwards though.

And I'm not sure that's a compliment? 

There's definitely a player there, but like Nige said, he's one for the future.

Good enough to keep his place in my view.

Will be discussing his debut in tonight's FBC Live Podcast @ 6.00 PM:

[Varrei]

Struggled to stop the crosses coming in from his side and also overhit a few crosses and had one opportunity one on one with the defender that he just stumbled over the ball. But his link up play in the middle third was good, and grew into the game. Alot of potential there but nervous on his debut as you would expect. Showed enough to give me hope there is alot more to come from him, and a good sign the Pearson has given him a chance already

No its not , but for a young lad making his championship debut, I thought he did OK, but don't think at anytime he looked out of place, very steady debut with plenty of room for improvement.

Disagree. Thought he had a decent game, and was a definite improvement on Vyner/Simpson.

Agree, he will be a decent player for sure. 

I think i may have been a tad harsh in the original post. It's easy to forget that he's played a game two divisions higher than what he's used to. 

[Gazred]

From a harsh Championship standard point of view, it was average.

As a young lad making his debut at this level for us, it was a decent platform to build on. Good signs there.

[Rossi the Robin]

QPR are a very good side nowadays, he will have much easier days. Well done on his debut

No disrespect but that’s not difficult. I hope NP perseveres with him and gives him a run of games

That also says weinmann was better than Bentley so wouldn’t take much notice 

[Coppello]

As I was arriving at the ground today and hadn’t read the team sheet, I saw Matt Parsons coming out to chat to Tanner’s family. He asked them (and there was about 10 of them) how they were feeling and they said ‘nervous’ but you could tell they were all buzzing. They were all beaming from ear to ear  

Onto his performance, I think he was a bit scared to make a mistake and it was a very risk averse performance and didn’t really push on too much. He had a couple of nice touches and made a fantastic last ditch tackle towards the end of the game to keep it 1-1. There’s no doubt a lot more to come from him but it was a steady debut for a player who wasn’t expecting to play just yet.

When are they coming then

Thought he was very steady on his debut. Better improvement on Vyner and Simpson in my eyes.

He and his family must be immensely proud tonight. Fair play to him not a easy debut to make 

[Selred]

Steady. Can improve at both sides of his game but he's young and will. No glaring errors.

I wouldn't say out of his depth, more, horribly exposed by our terrible shape without the ball.  With the ball, pretty tidy, got a bit of pace.

I don't think he really did much if any wrong.  Not his lack of ability that left them with overload after overload.

Good, promising debut imho.

[Coxy27]

Was at the game;

Defensively, he had a tough game down his side, especially first half. They were doubling up down that side and he wasn't getting a great deal of support. As a result we really struggled to stop crosses coming in. I wouldn't put it down to his own failings though at all. He was in the right positions, tracked his man (or sometimes men!) quite well. He made no errors, I'd say.

Going forwards he was certainly less prominent than say, Dasilva second half, but we were under the cosh quite a bit and he was working hard defensively so I don't really think it was the right game for him to show that side of his game. The few crosses I do recall, were over-hit unfortunately. One in the first half he did very well to beat his man, but the cross was poor.

More to come from him, perfectly solid, yet unspectacular, start.

[JoeAman08]

Do you lot watch the football or do you just see cross from right side and assume Tanner didn’t stop the cross? They had a man advantage on the side almost every time. CMs didn’t come across to help. If Tanner charges out to cut out crosses another man runs in behind to the byline. 
 

He wasn’t perfect but he put in a fine display against a good side. Nice to have someone who can contribute on both sides of the pitch. Should be retaining his place off his performance.

He was getting murdered in the first half due to a lack of cover, often found himself facing two or three. Grew in confidence after the half time change, needs to remember to do the simple things.

Seems to be a constant problem . Why was he getting overloaded on. Who wasn’t tracking back ?

Some great and valuable context here. Glad to hear he was decent and will surely push on.
