formerly known as ivan Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thought he was outstanding today in a position he is not known for. Didnt catch who was man of the match but if it wasn't Kane he couldn't have been far off. Not sure of Chelsea have plans for him. Highly doubt it as he is young and English. Based on today he looked like a possible long term replacement for Elliott. Would be good to see him have a run of games in midfield to see if he can perform well consistently.

aa_bcfc Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Would be great if we could keep him for the rest of the season. Doubt that he would be required by Chelsea so will probably be allowed to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 He was indeed MOTM and well deserved. I was very impressed with him today, only saw a brief sub appearance previously. Would be very pleased if we could keep him here for longer, or relieve Chelsea of him. Very classy and confident player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Motm was Kane, and I would agree, I'd keep playing Kane as next choice CM or even push Freeman forward a bit and stick him in with Elliott and Smith. Can't say I've seen much of him but thought he was excellent today, could be worth a cheeky bid to try and sign him permenantly in Jan or at least loan him till the end of the season?

Strawberry2157. Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Get the same feeling about Kane that I did about Elliott last season... will be gutted if we can't keep him. Think he fits in perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I BELIEVE Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Our midfield 3 were superb today, Kane was excellent and looks far too good for this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Good to hear all this; the lad being only 21 bodes well too. Useful to have an 'unexpected' new midfielder, especially with the injury to Elliot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 He was superb, seeing as he's played all his career at right back he didn't look at all out of place in central midfield. Well worth trying to keep for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbsy1993 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Fantastic energy in the centre of midfield today, nipped at players and look confident on the ball; a proper loan signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 yep another great run and cross from Little. Sorry, I didn't realise "open goals" included those where the keeper was in goal.

Cider Queen Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 He was really good. Fair play to Cotterill for moving into centre mid. Certainly looked like a young version of our Wade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Sorry, I didn't realise "open goals" included those where the keeper was in goal. Terrible miss, granted, but hardly an open goal Well he could see a gaping net in front of him, and the keeper somewhere off to his right. To allow some leeway to Smith, the cross was whipped in very hard and it ballooned upwards because of the speed it was travelling. No excuse for his first miss though. It's one of the most shocking I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 On a par with Wilbraham against PNE ? Rounded the keeper then ballooned it into the Atyeo. TBH, I think it was worse because of the time he had to control the ball, turn and he could have taken several steps without being in any danger. It was an inexplicable decision to blaze into the side-netting. Rush of blood to the head job. Watch it on YouTube when it's up.... and weep!

Red-Robbo Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 My point was that Wilbraham didn't get a lot of stick even though his shocking miss contributed to us losing. Smith had a shocker and missed a couple of sitters - but he scored and we won yet he's getting a shed load of stick. I think Wilbs always contributes lots even when not scoring. Smith scored, but looked unfit and was very, very slow. I'm glad he scored, but my point is I don't think he looks like he's the answer to our missing striker problem. When he looked unimpressive on earlier outings, I was the first to bring up the point about Wade Elliott's premature slating. But, as has been said, he's been here a little while now, and I don't think he's going to be the guy we want to take our season on. I'm by no means downbeat after getting three points and avoiding a potential banana skin, though C. See my Luke Freeman thread contribution for a summary of where I thought we ARE getting it right. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Was very impressed today as he was brought in as a right back. Not quite as technically gifted as Elliott but much quicker and brighter. Him and Korey are excellent all round players who are quick and not afraid to get stuck in.

Stubbsy1993 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Define 'a proper loan signing' like Tony Dinning? One who contributes well to the team, puts in 100% and adds a bit of quality when called upon. Lets hope we never have a Tony Dinning situation again with any loan player who goes on to sign permanently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think Todd would be a very good addition to the squad and we haven't really seem him play in his natural position yet. He looks a quality midfield player which is strange because he doesn't appear to have played there before, I wonder how Chelsea feel about him playing there? Perhaps he's just never had a chance with the embarrassment of riches they have in that area. As well as he played though, I do feel we missed Wade's "game management skills" yesterday, the experience that he and Wilbraham bring to the game is so useful at the end of these type of games.
