Redcliffe1990 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I thought Bryan played well in the middle against Forest, a relatively unfamiliar position for him however he looked comfortable and I've admired his ability to get stuck in coupled with his creative output for a while now. It showed a bit of Johnson's imagination and awareness also. Impressed, would like to see him do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it doesn't it's square pegs in round holes... Looking forward to seeing JB in CM however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Saw him play CM a few times as he was moving up through the academy/resies and thought then he looked very comfortable in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 he is reasonably two footed, which is such a bonus for any position, but will allow him to be much harder to mark in a CM role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Following the footsteps of a certain Brian Tinnion maybe! No, getting slightly ahead of myself. Sounds like LJ seems to think Bryan has all the attributes needed to succeed in that position. It's another club in the bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 He can run, pass, tackle, head a ball and has a decent finish on him. There is no reason why he couldn't be a very good central midfielder. He obviously lacked confidence at the start of the season but hopefully after a few decent performances he will be back to the player we know he can be.

Robbored Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Bryan is a very versatile all round footballer. He has all the skills to play at full back, wing back and central midfield. He will only improve and it'll be just a matter of time before he gets a PL contract. When that happens he'll impress everyone and be on the fringe of International honours. Remember he's still only a young lad. Add to his natural skills, his ability to see passes and know when to play them add up to an itellegent player. It's that "footballing intelligence" that separates the lower league players to those who play in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was due to the huge 'challenge' he received in the first game against Sheffield Wednesday - it took him several games to recover his confidence.

The Chaplain Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 A friend of mine was at Forest, who played with Joe for a few years coming up through the academy, when he was fulfilling that role. Told me it was the best game he'd seen him play for the first team and was the first time he had the sense he could really become the sort of player that everybody expected him to be when he was rising through the ranks.

chipdawg Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I can't be bothered to trawl back through all the utter shite I've posted in the interim, but I've suggested on more than one occasion over the last couple of seasons that JBs future could be in central midfield. I should get a medal or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think he's got the potential to go a long way in his football career. He's a class act already and barely out of his teens. Unfortunately it Bryan won't reach his full potential by staying at City. i expect him to be gone next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well he has decent pace, a good touch, great leap and not a bad finish on his day. So it's a case of utilising this lad the best we can. I still wonder why Cotts lost faith in him though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he was woeful 1st half of the season, he had lost every shred of confidence, glad it's back since cotts left (hmmm cough cough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
