You Do The Dziekanowski Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 You know you are supposed to put one of these or else someone might think you're ******* serious Sorry on my phone, Difficult trying to remember all the codes haha Thought the Stern John bit gave it away though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Looked good for me, quite often the ball just wouldn't fall to feet, inside the opposition box a couple of times he had a good touch to control the ball while in the air. Looking forward to seeing him play again, for the price looks like he could be good value on first looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I think he will come good once he settles. Don't forget the rest of them have had pre-season together including very important bonding/gelling time in Botswana. He's still getting to know people nd perhaps nervous on his home debut? Several times he played an intelligent ball forward only to find players like Williams reaching it so it went wide etc. No disrespect to Williams but he's a defender for a reason. Don't worry about Agard, he looked interested and willing to work for the team, that's not a bad thing is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza Revolution Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Agard did have a 1:1 and the keeper slipped but he failed to capitalise. It will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BcFcOneLove Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I thought Agard did ok today, he certainly didn't do anything wrong. His touch was good, he looked strong on the ball and clearly has pace to burn... it didn't seem to fall for him today but he still had a couple of chances and they will come more often than not. Don't see the point in comparing him with Baldock because he is gone now and Agard has his own qualities that in my opinion will come good!

Pickled Onion Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Lacking a little confidence by looks of it. As others have said probably still needs to blend with the team. First goal in and hopefully he'll be away. Needs us to get behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Bcfc Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Just like at Notts County he put in a real shift today, no one can fault his work rate. Is he better than Baldock? Probably not, let's not forget Brighton payed double for Baldock than what we payed for Agard. That doesn't mean he won't be an excellent addition for us though, he played well today and it won't be long until the goals come. As others have said he's getting into goalcoring areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderJar Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 There was one occasion in the second half when I felt the keeper was floundering and Agard could have lobbed the ball first time into an unguarded net. I put it down to nerves that he took an extra touch. I thought his hold up play was brilliant. He has an excellent first touch and was pulling balls under control excellently. Given time to settle he'll do well. He was popping up all over the front line, left , right and down the middle. Excellent movement from him I thought. I don't think he got a chance to really show his pace because a packed S****horpe defence didn't give him the space to. Similarly I thought they did a job on Mark Little who wasn't quite as effective as he is when given the freedom of the right wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumcharred Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Absolutely terrible! Leeds will be laughing that he turned them down and they got sharp instead! No attacking threat whatsoever! I think I'd rather have Stern John back..... how the hell do you get to that after 2 games some people aint got a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Like all new strikers the sooner he gets his first goal the better. When we were denied the penalty in the first minute that I would have expected him to take with JET on the bench, I thought at he time that would have been a brilliant opportunity for him. I thought his all round game was decent, his first touch was better than I expected and it was a 6/10 sort of performance from him. He played out wide a lot at a Rotherham and felt he needed to be nearer to the excellent Wilbraham more often yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Agard looks like a useful player, though I was a bit disappointed with the service to him. Often you could see Agard playing on the shoulder of the defender or beginning to make a run and the service didn't come. Think he will be good, big shoes to fill in terms of goalscoring but I'm hopeful this season we have more goals in us from other areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 One positive is his strength in holding the ball and having enough intelligence to pass it to a team mate if there is nothing on for himself. There were good signs and even of he doesn't score for a few games, at least the rest of the team are chipping in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe bryans right foot Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I will wait until November time to judge him as would have seen a lot more of him by thenHowever that first goal may do wonders for confidence we shall see.

gavlin Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 How S****horpe played yesterday is going to be the norm for the majority of teams playing at Ashton Gate this season. Agard and the City strike force will come up against six man defences and two blocks of four as teams shut up shop and play for a draw or trying to nick a win through a break away goal as nearly happened on 20mins yesterday. So the best performances you may see from Agard maybe away from home. One good point that I noted yesterday was he can shoot with both feet, but my feeling is he's going to be more prolific as a box poacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 If Agard was seen as good as Baldock, then surely the likes of Brighton would have signed him over Baldock? The lad will do fine for us I'm sure...he looks the part. Pressure is off as well, as we are now getting goals from all over the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 He did enough yesterday to suggest that he will be a success down here. Got into some very good positions but the final ball was just not there or was cut out. As with any prolific striker, once he gets one, many more will follow in quick succession. Very happy with his signing and cant say that I heard anyone around me mention Baldocks name once yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
