redfieldred Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Given to Tammy. I was quite surprised as O'Neil seemed to be the stand out player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Tammy was boy of the match. O'Neil was man of the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Although I agree that O'Neil was the standout player (again!) when some scores one and makes one it's difficult not to give them MOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I personally don't count shots that the keeper saves as an assist but get your point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 MOM? The whole squad and LJ and JP. It's a team game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfieldred Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 lm not saying this about yesterday, but it seems a little unfair that a player can score a tap in and make one pass for a goal and win motm, while another player can run the midfield and get the team in attacking positions over and over again while neutralising a lot of the other teams attacking threat, and the be overlooked.

RedRock Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Flint was MoM, it must be hard sometimes being a defender and often overlooked for such accolades. Can't recall Flinty missing a header, can't recall Tammy winning one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall Flinty missing a header, can't recall Tammy winning one. Tammy's playing up top on his own, so winning headers/flick ons is futile. He's under instruction to hold the ball up, where possible. Similar to when Adebola fulfilled a similar role and was slated for not winning headers!

JoeAman08 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Most casual fans come for goals. You'll find bias for a lot of attacking players because they are the ones selling the tickets. Not many are coming down to see Gary O'Neil. He had a wonderful games and was probably our most influential player but most kids and non regulars will be talking about Tammy, Tomlin and Bryan. I've got no problem with this. We all for the most part agree who was terrific. Tammy had a really good game. Played up top on his own against two CBs that were playing premier league football last year. He held it up well at times, tried to get in behind a few times to keep them honest, scored and assisted.

Fiale Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thought the Tammy / Bryan goal was the best of the game.. watched it a few times now and think the pass, run and finish would have beaten defenders in most teams. Reid and Bryan both look to move the ball quickly or run at players causing them to trackback/panic and it's nice to see such confidence and direct play, I can only assume this is what the Academy is instilling in players.
