Cideriuplandlord Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 So no mention of Luke Freeman. Imagine he was dropped but surprised he didnt even make the bench . Ive been abroad all week so maybe I've missed an injury or something. Anyone fill me in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 He picked up injury against PNE midweek and was substituted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Would only get in the team at LM with Williams coming out. But I think we can all agree that Reid makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Seeing today's change in formation and fortunes and how good we looked as a team perhaps a refreshed Freeman coming back will improve the team further and give us more options (rather than suggest a team without him) COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Before anyone writes Freeman off - just wait and give him a chance in any new line up / formation under , perhaps a different brief Still think he's one of our 2/3 best players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a dead leg today. Don't write him off, he has been coming back to form of late....not up to last season's standards, but he has a lot of ability. We need depth / cover to keep us. We've all been missing about playing the same eleven and not resting. Players coming in will want to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yes definitely injured, and as others have said I'd like to see him tried in this formation. However sometime I think he tends to slow play down, keeping the ball and getting closed down and allow the opposition to regroup. Today we played with a bit of tempo, added quick passing instead of pondering and it worked well. Freeman can play like this but usually wants to be the hero and take everyone on by himself. Today it was very much a team performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Dave missed your question Yes JB was on left of a 4-3-3 which was a 4-5-1 at times and almost a 4-1-4-1 at points so yes - a good point about LF - this system would suit him better I'd suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyreds89 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Bobby Reid was ok today but he's not the answer decent footballer but no balls. I do like Bobby he just needs to be stronger and more committed at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Luke and Joe could be 2 good options out on the left, Luke in games where we look to attack, Joe when we look to be more defensive. Or even Freeman in the CAM role without having to track back as much similar to last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd play Freeman wide, today just reaffirmed what I thought. BR gets his head up a lot more than LF, Luke tends to run with the ball a lot. May suit playing wide of a 5 , trying to support JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Would love to see Freeman play wide left in the formation we played today with Bryan as left back. As well as Freeman done last season in league 1 playing at the front of a midfield three isn't his natural position. Felt Williams looked like a centre back playing left back today so Bryan and Freeman on the left would be more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfieldred Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't want to write him off, but he slows play down and isn't the best passer of the ball. His work rate is great and he is far better defensively than Reid, but is he necessary in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. I don't think so.

I don't want to deflect away from what was a great day and performance by all but I'm not sure Reid will be good enough at this level. Hope to be proved wrong on that of course.

I really think there is a lot more to come from freeman. He has ability for sure can see him wide left. Still think he's on an upward curve. And to be fair burns and reid have been written off on here as not championship standard many times. (I know one swallow) But at least when freeman is fit again he will know he's not first name on the team sheet. Just a hunch but can see freeman having a big say on our survival !!

ashton_fan Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Will improve for being rested for a few games. If he's played as a wide man that will suit him better, that's where he played before joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajam1212 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hopefully today will have lifted a huge wieght off the whole squad.The last few months they've all looked like they've had the wieght of the world on their shoulders. Why? apart from results I don't know maybe the behind the scenes tension was finding it's way into the dressing room. These players were far to good for league 1 last term so maybe cotts negativity was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
