Stubbsy1993 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Another fantastic game for this man today, fast becoming our most important player. So confident on the ball, can spot a pass and can take on a man with real ease. Great that City are able to attract this calibur of player despite League One status, definitely a player for the league above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatcham red Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thought he was brilliant today, Beside his obvious talent on the ball, he also works hard off it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Super player. Shows some people you can have both natural talent and workrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 First time I've seen him and definitely stood out today with his energy, pace and skill. He was very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap flinger Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 His feet were so quick today, I think we are still to see the best of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Very true. Only just behind Kane in the MOTM shout. Flinty (apart from one missed clearance) and Cunningham had good games today. Luke A made a few clangers but was not bad overall and again offered an attacking threat. Bryan and Little had their moments. Corey was pretty good. Really, you can only fault the forwards today. What I like about Freeman is his vision. He's thinking ahead, like a good chess player. Sometimes though the rest of the team need to keep up with his thought process! If we had more like him, promotion would be nailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Definintely a key guy for us, as others have highlighted his work rate and energy off and on the ball are brilliant. Think he keeps us ticking over really well so something is always happening, the fact we are playing him out of position makes it all the more impressive how quickly he has adapted to the central role. Hopefully we can get promoted this season or I fear a lot of interest in the summer for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbsy1993 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Feels like we have got him at a snip of the price that he could be worth come May. In a way its a positive that he doesn't contribute more goals than he does, because if he was he would have the vultures surrounding in January that's for sure based on performances in recent months.

I BELIEVE Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 One of the most technically gifted players we've had in a long time, a proper number 10 and someone we have been missing for years. Fast becoming a fans' favourite this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Best player at the club for a long time. Reminds me of Paul Hartley too - always looking for the right pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Yes totally agree, also Korey Smith deserves a mention. Some great work in midfield by both of them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Freeman and Flint (who was a rock at the back again today) have been the standout players of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyolly Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Each of the new players signed at the start of the season have improved us, hence where we are in the table. Ayling and Smith have been great but I agree that Freeman seems to be having the biggest impact. And totally agree that Flint is like a new player compared to last season.

joe bryans right foot Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think in the future Freeman will be playing at least at championship level hopefully with City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think we need automatic promotion to keep hold of him, maybe winning the play offs judging on how fast he is developing. As many as you have said his current form is Championship level which means we need to match that if he has drive which it would seem be does.

RedRock Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 An absolute diamond. Would be gutted if he were to leave. After years of being 'spineless' we are now developing a real core of quality players. Not only that, but having seen droves of players come in and, at best, stagnate most of the current squad are 'continuously improving'. Bravo. Well done SL/JL, Cotts and the back room staff, plus the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Its no coincidence that opposition managers are targeting him, witness Edwards following him around yesterday. I thought he had a fantastic game as well as Flint as a prevuous poster mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandare 1966 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 So exciting when he get,s the ball just love are football when we hit teams on the brake we are really good have so many players now that can set up attacks freeman , Luke Ayling , Corey smith , little, Bryant ,and one cane as well . Just loving the football this season yes we will loose the odd game but not many and many teams will fear us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Got to say that Bryant's body movement is top class. He just glides around the pitch without any obvious effort and leaps like a salmon! One of the finest natural athletes I've seen. Amazing sight.

Against Stoke either on Boxing Day or New Years Day '95, if I remember rightly. 'Twas a screamer. Don't remember the shooting incident later on in the game though...

redfred Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Luke Freeman has to be one of the best midfielders I've seen in nigh on 30 years watching City. Incredibly talented with great movement, feet, can spot a pass and he can put a tackle in as well. He does remind me a bit of Nick Carle though.

The Nick Carle that done lots of step overs, played with his hair then gave the ball away. He was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
