Scrumpy_247 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thought this lad deserves credit today, he came on with 30 mins left and played 2 or 3 quality cross field passes. I think he could soon quite easily replace Neil Kilkenny in the starting 11. I think he's exactly what we've missed in the last 2 seasons. What are everyone's thoughts?

I BELIEVE Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Creative at last!! The guy oozes class, will be a top player for us I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Showed a great range of passing. Should def start on Tuesday if fit enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpy_247 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I watched him on various occasions for Cheltenham and I genuinely believe the reason they have done well the last 2 years is due to his passes, he made average players look good!

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The way he sprayed passes around reminds me of Tinnion towards the end of his career, around the time of the Tinnion and Murray double act. At his age, Pack could be an incredible signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I thought he was excellent. What a statement of intent blazing that first crossfield ball, absolute pearler of a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I think people are going a bit OTT based on today's performance. He did look good and played some excellent passes, I'm not quite so sure he is the creative force people are saying though....he did remind me a bit of Hartley though. But what we needed was a Cisse or Kelly or dare I say it a Elliott. Bradford were having too much time on the ball and the middle 3, including pack, didn't close them down quick enough.....and pack should have. But on the whole he looks a good player.

bearded_red Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thought it was a superb little cameo and I certainly look forward to seeing more of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Showed a great range of passing. Should def start on Tuesday if fit enough. Think he will start on Tuesday along with several others that were on the bench today. Sure SOD will 'save' some of his key players for next Saturday and give himself the chance to find out more about the rest of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The great thing about him, Along with his vision and passing is his stature. He's a big lad and unlike Kilkenny wont get shoved off the ball, Also he will be effective in the air if need be and will be a lot more physical, Can't see players running through him like previous midfielders have let done! With a partnership of Wynter.... We may have something special blossoming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I can only agree with the consensus: He looks the real deal. Sort of creativity we've really missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiz Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Totally agree with the op. His eye for the pass was fantastic, think when he gets to know the players around him and gels he will set baldock free. He also did very well in defence at times. Really excited about him.

CheddarReds Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Looks like a good signing. We saw he has some quality today, good range of passing. Plus at 80 - 100k we could resell him for 10X that, good buisness, all part of the recruitment rethink. Looks the full package.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 He seems very assured given his age. Playing in league 2 has really done him some good. He didnt seem fazed by Bradford lumps giving him a knock. Just kept the ball and played great passes when able. That one where he played Cunningham through with the outside of his foot has got to be one of the best midfield passes since Tinman. Have we had such a passer since Brian Tinnion?

That pass like you say took me right back to Tinnion. Hope my expectancy of him will not be too great.

Do you think so ? Not as much as some comments on other players who on the whole were very pedestrian today. Its been along time since somebody in our colours looked totally in control on the ball.

WellRedPhil Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Played with his head up, appeared to have good vision and a good, accurate passing range. Hard to form an opinion on a player so early of course but definitely promising signs from another young player that with the right coaching will only get better.

Red Rag Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Didnt think he looked that good. Also at fault for the 2nd goal Agree with you fella and definitely at fault for the escon goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Creative at last!! The guy oozes class, will be a top player for us I think See. Told you so. Been trying to get City to sign this lad for 3 years!! Didnt think he looked that good. Also at fault for the 2nd goal Really??? Agree with you fella and definitely at fault for the escon goal. Really?? Would that be the second goal where Fontaine let his man get in front of him at the near post?? What did Pack have to do with that?

redsince1994 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 My first thought when he came on... How the **** has he been playing in leagues 2? Much better passing range than anyone else w've got plus quality in the tackle. Him and wyneter would be a hell of a young partnership in midfeid!

Brislingwood Red Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Didnt think he looked that good. Also at fault for the 2nd goal You sure? Nothing to do with Fontaine letting his man get across him at near post again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZoneJim Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 You sure? Nothing to do with Fontaine letting his man get across him at near post again?? Correct Fontaine at fault for 2nd goal. Be interesting how SOD plans to play if manages to get another striker in as to fit in Baldock & JET a midfielder will have to drop out unless play 3 at back. Could that be his long term plan? Saw that couple of times in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
