Bourne End Red Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Havent seen him play yet and just wondered if he looks a decent player or not. I remember there was a bit of controversy on here when he arrived due to aberdeen fans opinions etc. Whats he like ? good championship player or jury still out ? Is he all pace or does he have some defending ability as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He seems ok. Certainly no world beater - but seems a steady enough player on his showings so far. Occassionally get caught positionally but has the pace to recover, so hopefully won't get caught out to often. Not sure what his best position might turn out to be for us once Del assembles the team that he wants, but certainly his versatility is a handy attribute to have.

Riaz Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 From what I've seen so far, I like him. Only criticism of him so far is he is too quick to shoot from 30 yards out.... But very quick and lively.... could be a very good player for us. Much better than the full backs we've been used to, since orr left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Scotty Murray Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think he looks a good signing. Now with him and Skuse at full backs we have two mobile players who can get up and down with a bit of pace which you have to have if you are playing 4-5-1. They both do make the odd mistake but I think that with these two supporting Albert and Bolaise next season we could have some of the best attacking wide players in the league (if Skuse can sort out his mental blocks he gets when in the final 3rd!)

Totally agree with this. If albert had a full back running beyond him making decoy runs - it will create more space for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He has started OK for me. I think he will get better and be a useful addition. IMO it's a good signing as he is versatile and certainly the best full back we have at the club, whether he plays on the right or left. Probably not the best defensively but certainly looks as though he has all the attributes needed to be a success for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fka dagest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I thought he was excellent on Saturday. Didn't put a foot wrong. Difficult to beat, good passer, competitive, pacey, overlaps well. If Delboy's other signings come up this standard I'll be a happy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Loyal Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Prob the thing Im most happy with at the moment...Skuse behind Albert and Foster behind Yannick...he is constantly talking to Yannick which I think is good for the young lad. Pace down the wings and full backs is good to see! Foster himself looks lively and pacey, as said in previous posts...does get caught out but has pace to recover. Can see him scoring a screamer at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Seems a decent signing so far. Glad I didn't pay any attention to the bitter aberdeen fans. Very quick and likes to overlap the winger offering another option in attack. Crossing seems ok and likes to shoot, which isn't a bad thing. I've been more impressed with him at left back, he isn't just a right footed full back. Appears comfortable with his left foot. Dare I say it, he could even replace McAllister at left back. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the frampton balti Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 ya think?? Reckon he could end up in the middle... Personally i prefer skuse at right back and i reckon our left back is waiting in the wings besides mcgivern may yet improve. As for a quick moving hard tackling midfielder whos not afraid to shoot........Foster???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He certainly does't look out of his depth in the Championship and from what I've seen of him looks a decent signing. Obviously his pace is an asset but his defending has looked solid enough. Not convinced yet about his vision and pass selections but maybe I'n being a tad harsh. Early days.

JammyOne Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He has pace and a good foot on him too. I had doubts with him coming from Aberdeen but so far I think he's looked to be one of our best players. He seems able to mark his winger and at the same time come forward in attack.

Disagree, Wilson went wandering meaning Fonts and Foster had to each move up and Bolasie should probably have tracked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree there mate, Wilson went out of position and then got turned far far to easily for the first goal and we were all disjointed! As a unit though we shouldn't have got dragged over.

BITW Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He's done Ok so far. Looks good going forward but is a bit suspect defending IMO. I may be a bit harsh in saying he was out of position for Leeds 1st on Saturday, but for the 2nd he was beaten far too easily for me. Decent start all round though.

I may be a bit harsh in saying he was out of position for Leeds 1st on Saturday, but for the 2nd he was beaten far too easily for me. Decent start all round though.

REBS14 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 First game he had 3 or 4 cracks at goal from distance which is what we have been lacking,he certainly has pace and can get forward, looks as though he has been in the team a while and appears comfortable, although leeds first goal was scored from a position foster should have been covering he was trying to cover some bad postioning by wilson so all in all i would rate him yes definatley - a good start from what appears to be a regular for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWRed Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Early days but he does seem promising. What caught my eye at Reading when comparing him to McGivern wasn't just his pace but his speed of distribution. He passed it confidently and quickly meaning they didn't have time to reorganise.

Port Said Red Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 He is a bit one paced......................................... luckily that one pace is "zoom" I did think initially that he was out of position for the 1st goal Saturday, but I realised after seeing the highlights, that it was a knock on effect, Skuse caught forward, Wilson covering, fonts drawn over and so on...... I don't think you can complain about him trying to cover there when he had done it successfully a couple of times against Donny. I am impressed so far, got a good head on him and isn't shy to have his say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
