Son of Nob Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Man of the Match for me. Looks very assured, strong in the tackle and very comfortable with the ball Potentially a fantastic signing. Good work Taylor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Good to hear. His interviews suggest he's a very mature, bright guy and there must be something about him to captain his England age-group. Can only be promising.

Creg Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Already looks like he could slot into the team nicely in some of the "less important" games this year. Aside from conceding the penalty, seems composed and looks a good foil in partnership with Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3City Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I've got a good feeling about this boy! Shows how far we've come that he signed for us. Massive potential IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Jr. Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Glad to hear, since the only highlight I saw was of the penalty. Considering he also got the assist for the goal Sky forgot, O Dowda seemed to have a stonker of a game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acton Red Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hecould be playing next to John Stones in the England defence in a few years and LJ could be his manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I was massively impressed by him. Once Ekstrand gets up to speed we have real competition at centre-back and I'd not like to bet on the first choice pairing come the end of the season. I think Lucic might be first-choice 'keeper before long too. Fielding and ROD are decent but, based on tonight alone, Lucic has something of a cult hero in the making about him...

North London Red Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 He generally looked very assured and comfortable on the ball, but he did give away a penalty and also had a dodgy backpass that gave away an unnecessary corner in the first half, so I'm not sure about man of the match - Abraham, Lucic or Wilbraham all have a good case too (albeit Wilbraham did miss two excellent chances in the second half).

Coppello Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 At the end of the game he jumped into the crowd to hug who I can only assume were his parents. Seems like a great lad who is enjoying playing for the club at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't get away with it anywhere! He knew himself immediately that it was a penalty, that was plain from his reaction. I personally thought he looked decent, but to give away a penalty, as well as one or two other minor errors (such as the needless corner first half) I don't think he can be considered MOTM.

Fiale Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Our back for is almost there, still feel after all this time we need a decent mid/top championship level RB. Matthews is not ours, and Little whilst having a decent season cannot be our only / main choice if we want to seriously be pushing to be a serious top 6-10 champ side.

Robin1988 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think we're in danger of going too OTT here. Please don't confuse me as a doom and gloom merchant, I have a happy clapper membership and everything. But in the first half he was a bit of a mixed bag and at one point put out the ball under no pressure for a Fulham corner, and the penalty speaks for itself. If anything though it seemed to galvanise him and he was excellent after that - the highlight for me a little chipped through-ball (not a long ball either) down the left for Golbourne to run on to. The kind of pass you'd be impressed if someone like Marlon Pack made, let alone a centre-back. All in all, a decent enough debut but he's more Taylor Moore than Bobby Moore for now.

Probably quite a bit of over excitement in his first game I'd imagine. I'm looking forward to seeing him play and develop, for me this is exactly the sort of profile player we should be looking at.

Very much the point. He is a young lad who made a couple of mistakes all game, one of which could have been serious but wasn't. Other than that he had a very confident and composed debut and will get better and better whereas Flint should be hitting peak experience and ability. It was noticeable that Flint regularly passed the ball to him to play out of defence. MoM he wasn't, but exciting prospect for the future he is. I am getting very excited about the potential of our team and wonder what the heck the next couple of transfer windows will produce!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect LJ's Bobby Moore comment was in part to keep his spirits up and to stop him from dwelling on the penalty miss. The excitement for me isn't that I thought he was by any means perfect last night - as you say he made two big errors and also gave away a silly free kick on the edge of the box. It was just there were certain attributes - particularly how confident he looked on the ball, how well he recovered from the penalty and how assured he generally was that made me think there's a lot of potential there. Without doubt there are mistakes to iron out and he needs to learn and develop considerably - I wouldn't propose throwing him into the first team regularly quite yet for sure - but the raw ability and personality attributes stood out for me and really made me think he's someone who, if he keeps his feet on the ground, is willing to learn and avoids going the Grealish route, could go a long, long way in football.
