Donkeeebles Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I've just thought of a cracking nickname for Freeman The Recycling Bin No reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was good too, just not as destructive as Williams. A good pairing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I liked watching luke last season but this season he's so frustrating to watch. It was easier for him to pick the ball up in good positions and lay it off to willing runners last season. I don't think the formation has helped this season, but then again i don't think its helped anyone. A few games out the side or a change of system might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red84 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 The evidence was there last season against the better teams, he gets into great positions then seems to choose the wrong option or overplay it in the final 3rd. The big difference also this season is he's bulked up a bit, give reid a chance when he's been put in he looks a more natural AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rarely hits the target, generally blazes over the bar. He is yet to score at AG for us which in itself is amazing. Take his chance today at the start. Goes for a gap of a balls width at the near post instead of surely what they are taught of hitting it across the keeper. If nothing else the keeper may save a spill back out. I think we should focus on JKs shooting ability rather than freemans today. trully awful, couldn't hit a cows arse with a shovel today petsonally i thought today was not freemans worst display, not by a long way.

Am I right in thinking Wes is quicker than Kodjia? If so I cannot understand why he isn't brought as others tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes' appearance yesterday was purely to kill the clock and nothing else unfortunately. But we didnt get that bit right either ! as to why wes isnt playing more.... well, others on here should comment before i do and a lot of them have, you will get contrasting views although most are very supportive. Wes gets great encouragemnet from the fans everywhere he goes and that means a lot to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Without getting carried away, what Wes has shown for Wales u21s, is that he can play up-front. He might play it differently to Wilbs, but he can play back to goal, plus he can spin in behind. We need to know whether that ability is good enough for Championship football, and if given the chance realise that one 90 minutes shouldn't be make or break. But he does need a chance, or else he might've well go elsewhere. I think a few of us would've been worried about him playing wingback v Sheff Wed, but by all accounts he was one of our better players that day. I would give him a go up top with JK against West Brom next Saturday. As above I think it is a chance to see what he can do, but we also need to judge over a longer period whatever happens. If he can continue improving, he could save us a lot of £money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder to identify Pack's shortcomings. Can't disagree. No assists from our 'playmaker' says it all tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored a good header and had a few other chances which didn't come off for him, but certainly a promising performance. We all know that we are in need of several players to add to the squad, including a striker or two, but are not giving Wes the chance to show if he has something to offer. And he's already here! This manager sure seems stubborn. Could understand it if we were on the up and he didn't want to unsettle things. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Yes, forgotten that appearance - yes, decent performance, and towering header at the far post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
