Big C Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I also thought he had a great first touch. Wont go overboard on him just yet but early signs are encouraging and hopefully he will get better with more game time and fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 He has come back aster a long injury, had to regain fitness because he had not had a proper pre-season, he is settling into a new country and a new and highly competitive brand of football! Give that it was his first start for a long time and against very robust and talented defenders - I thought he did pretty well considering. He has pace and desire - he will do well. If we do get a new (hopefully pacey) target man, he will do very well next season. If Wes Burns comes back next season, imagine the pace we will have in the team. The future is bright - the future is red and white! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I thought he had a good game. His first touch was very good, he's quick enough and he's also very direct. Alongside the right partner he'll be a real handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Listening on the Radio Gary Johnson was saying he was so frustrating, good running, hard working, good touch. BUT was always taking dangerous ball and approach play out of dangerous areas,does not appear to attack the right areas go's away from them. Like I said I wasn't there, for those that were would you agree or disagree with Johnson senior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe some people on this forum sometimes, the guys first touch was excellent and killed the ball dead and moved it away from defenders as well as finding team mates.

TA One of Lee Johnson's strengths is that we do not play with one exclusive formation , so though 4-2-3-1 is the core system we regularly change throughout matches. This season i have seen 4-1-4-1, 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-4-3 and the full kitchen sink. As the season progresses the players will get more practised with the flexability, and it could get good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked really intelligent, held the ball up well, wasn't scared to run at defenders & always knew were his teammates were. It seemed like his head was working faster than his feet but all things considering you can hardly blame him. He looked like a Wilbs type of player to me, good first touch in the right area & was always looking to lay it off if possible. His movement in behind Wilbs tonight was good, if he can supply Tammy in the final third they could be dangerous. A wilbs type player? Are you joking? He's a player that will run at defences, and we saw that yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we have been playing our best when playing 2 up top and playing a diamond late in games, but whether that system would work from the start is another thing. I would love to see Engvall up there with Tammy after that very promising home debut. Yeah that's the thing really , will it work from the start with two up top. Would we be weaker in midfield as well what with a lot of other sides playing three centrally. It's nice to have the options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That formation is only used when a team plays without a goalkeeper...so can only assume it refers to when ROD came up for the corners near the end.

JoeAman08 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think people are raving because he's 20 years old and showed flashes of what he can do after to playing for over a month on his home debut against a premier league side who played 3 very experienced centre halves. Can be some pretty negative people on here at times. I know some get carried away with praise but you could see the lad has championship talent. He'll run at defenders with the ball and press them without it. 60 minutes of Engvall will really wear some defenders out and will open things up later in games. That's what he can bring right now and that's more than what we've got. He's 20 and the rest of his game will come along. I don't expect him to be a top hold up player just yet just like Tammy isn't but he tries and he doesn't want to keep it, he wants to lay it off quickly. It looks like we've got another talent on our hands and if LJ is as good a coach as they say then these will all be good players for us for awhile.

stogursey red Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I was very impressed with him, he's big powerful, had a good turn of pace, can only see him getting better the more he plays, think he will be our main hold up/ target man next season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
