Lew-T Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Surprised nobody has mentioned JB tonight. Quite honestly the worst I've seen him, looked completely shot! I hope Golbourne is back in on Saturday because JB had a mare tonight, and that's being nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bryan could get away with the LWB role, however it appears not as an out and out left back. More then happy to see him back at LW as a 3 behind the striker though. Push Tomlin central and bring Odemwingie back on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Quite a few of our players were terrible tonight and Joe was one of the worst. Been a big learning curve for him and this season will do him good and he will put it down to experience . Sure next year he will be more consistent in his displays .

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I Reckon he made more mistakes in this one game than he has in the rest of his career in total. Still. he`ll bounce back, he`s the type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Was an absolute shocker. I think even he expected to be subbed. Hopefully an aberration. Much better performances in central midfield when Korey was out. KS was another one who didn't have a great game today either. As for Joe he is a bright young man & I am sure he will come back better next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the lad, He will get it right and when he does consistently in this league we will have a player on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Agree with other posts, had a shocker. Smith dosent look for either and it is the midfield where we lost it tonight. They were stronger in the tackle and won most of the second balls and pressed us all over the pitch. Poor performance tonight and LJ said if players cannot follow his instructions and meet the expectations of the club to move forward then they won't be around - interesting comment as we approach the end of the season.

BRISTOL86 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 He's not a left back. Our squad is threadbare and players are played out of position as a result. Doubt Flint would have his best game in central midfield.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 He did have one of those games. To be fair against Shef Wed I thought he had a great game at left back. Also remember a game vs Blackpool at the gate where Bryan had Ince wrapped up all night. Wondered if that made a difference to Bryan starting over Golbourne?

exAtyeoMax Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 It seemed every time Joe touched the ball it went the wrong way…it skimmed off his boot for a corner, skimmed of his head at some weird angle, nothing seemed to go right. He did seem out of sorts. Just seemed to be having a bad day. He'll be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Matthews were on instructions to stay central to stop ince and their very useful numbers 2 and 11 from cutting in. matthews as a genuine full back did a pretty good job. Joe found it difficult and this affected his confidence I think. Second half he was poor, but then so were freeman, Tomlin, smith and a couple of others. Only pack,Matthews and maybe kodjia were any good second half, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Poor last night, but when he dropped back to replace Goldbourne on Saturday he had a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl&Toby Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I put it down to his hair cut. I think it looked far too short on the sides. Probably a Samson and Delilah moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 He didn't have a good game, but as others have said he was asked to do a job that wasn't his first choice and against a quality opponent. Got to say this for him though, he doesn't hide away after the game. Always first to go to the SouthStand and Dolman to clap the fans. (Flint and Pack do this too, no matter what).

Wasn't it Skuse that was always bring told his best position was as a defender not a midfielder. Several others too who I can't think of now. Orr was a midfielder before he arrived and made a very solid go at dropping into defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite noticeable how many others distance themselves after a defeat, and sometimes a draw, but are there when we win. As for Kodjia, I didn't see this today but he must be giving Scott Murray a right headache. During the warm up at Brentford he kicked a ball which hit a young fan. He went over and seemed to be saying he would give the fan his shirt after the game. As soon as the final whistle blew I noticed him taking off his shirt and scanning the touch line for the fan, he found him/her and gave away his shirt. Credit to him for that, he does seem a genuinely nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe1992 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Agreed he had a bad game last night, but think he's been very decent at LB lately. Solid as a rock vs Sheff Weds - whoever it was he was marking was in his pocket the entire game. So good in the air and very strong considering his size. Worthy contender for Golbourne.

Offside Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 After a disappointing start I think Bryan has improved as the season has gone on - hopefully last night's mistakes don't knock his confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very interesting comment. He also said this club would be moving forward rapidly, which suggested to me there are several signings lined up.

Alex_BCFC Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 The confidence seemed to drain out on him and he ended up having a real nightmare. But I back him to return strongly and be a really useful player for us next season. Remember he only played a handful of games at this level before so its his first full season in this league. Was surprised at the amount of people getting on his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
