marcofisher Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Would not mind to see this player in a city shirt, at 19 was definitely one of the best players for the rovers team on the night and gave Maloney a good run around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Agree. I thought that Harrison played very well and offered a constant threat. One for the future, no doubt. While we're on the subject, JJO'T had a very good second half and surprisingly, Harrold (always makes me think of Steptoe) led their line well. When he was replaced by the lump, Brunt they looked collectively, less of a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobArnold10 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I though Harrison, Norburn and Parkes all played well for them. Parkes organised the back line well and made some good challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 His final ball was poor though. Seemed a very skilful player though. Then again with those 2 lumps up front it wasn't easy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Also is it just me or has Clarkson got a lot bigger? He had a mare and his dive in the second half was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Norburn was at the heart of much of what they did. JJOT didnt look very much like the player who had so much potential at Watford, iirc scored a goal vs us in a 3-2 effort. Harrison was tricky, to boot Shows it is all a game of opinions, I thought of O Toole was their best player, trying to stem the City attacks in the first half on his own almost. A driving force for the Sags but without the quality to unlock our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunnyfunt Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Looks a good prospect. He made a great connection with that shot Parish parried back into the box only for their midfielder to shank over. Showed good skills. Nutmeged Moloney and generally gave him a busy night.

Guest al the pirate Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Interesting what you say about Harrison, thought he was poor last night, but got better as the game went on. Will swop him for JET! Difference was the finishing I thought last night, two great goals from you and a superb atmosphere, sad about the children who turned up though.

Difference was the finishing I thought last night, two great goals from you and a superb atmosphere, sad about the children who turned up though. To be fair to him, he would beat our full back then look up to see Clarkson waddling from the half way line. I think if he had someone to match his pace, he wouldn't have to hold the ball up so much and might find a bit more space. Glad you enjoyed it still, it was indeed a cracking atmosphere from both sets of fans. But you're right, shame about the mongs for both sets of teams.

Guest DancinDannyD Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Their best player on the night! Couldn't understand the gas fan on Radio Brizzle after the gas saying he was poor and not the same player he was last year!! The thing is, he isn't! A lot of loose passes and misplaced tackles last night, he hasn't yet shown the form of the back end of last season. Showed in glimpses last night what he was doing consistently after Christmas last year and I think he'll make us some money in a couple of years time .Definitely one for the future if he keeps his attitude right.

Difference was the finishing I thought last night, two great goals from you and a superb atmosphere, sad about the children who turned up though. I don't want to be pedantic, but there was more difference than just finishing. The first half was very one-sided and it wouldn't have been an unfair reflection of play if we'd gone in at h/t 3-0 up. Rovers improved in the second half, but were hardly impressive or dominant. I thought Rovers played much more long ball than I was expecting from a John Ward side. Having said that it was interesting to have a gander at some of the Rovers boys and I thought Lockyer and Parkes both looked impressive. I assume Lockyer and Harrison are both local, in which case, rivalry aside, it's nice to see some local talent coming through in both teams.

bearded_red Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'm not sure I agree with people saying Harrison was anything special? Decent dribbler and was no doubt a threat, but no end product to speak of and I actually thought Moloney handled him pretty well. I thought their best player by quite some way was Parkes in the middle of the defence. Would be very surprised if he doesn't end up in the Championship within a couple of seasons.

Guest Centenary Gas Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I was just about to write something along the lines of this....not one of those players would get in out team imo. Mildenhall is a better keeper than Fielding based on what I've been reading on here. Catches crosses all day in his box and has no big weaknesses. Given central defense has been a problem for you, maybe Parkes. JJOT, Smith maybes, I don't know what your players are like in those positions. Parkes/Smith will be playing in the Championship within two years for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the Smith that was troubled by Bryan all game? I'd rather Moloney. Mildenhall isn't a bad keeper but I'd rather have a former under 21 England international, who was called up to the senior squad not too long ago. Harrison - you can have all the pace and trickery you like but without an end product you're pointless. JJOT went missing for large periods. He ran around a lot, his gypsy tail blowing in the wind, but nothing of any note. Pack and Reid all day. Parkes is probably the only one that could be useful to us. Brentford would be a good fit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_South_End Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Pack as he is better than what he produced last night. Agree with this, got caught in possession a couple of times last night and gave away some dangerous free kicks (including the one they scored from).

Taylor10 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Didn't think he was that great. Got into some very dangerous positions but decision making was poor. I have no doubt he will be a good player in time though. Parkes was strong and would certainly have him in our side. As for JJ the gypo O'Toole....the way they go on about him you would have thought he was Roy Keane. Absolutely useless gypo with a pathetic hair style. I was expecting more from him to be honest, but clearly playing at his level now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
