bcfctim Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 We could really do with an Adomah-type player in this side: someone who'll stay out wide, run at his man, stretch the defence and draw players over to him; to create space in the middle for the likes of Tomlin and Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few posts on various threads today saying that the wide players are following instructions when they come back inside. If that is right then we might see no change even if we had a player with the ability to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 He was alright today as well. Kept a bit more width and dribbled at players with varying degrees of success. Today's Luke Freeman is an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheddarReds Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Great strike and really happy for him, not always my first name on the team sheet but no doubt he always gives his best. Hope he can push on and get more from here. Well done Luke! COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 And I thought it was good player management to take him off so that he'd get his applause. Won't hurt his confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 He gave us good width today and stayed wide: mixed it up between cutting in, taking on his man, laying back but of course too many stepovers. Gave their lb a tough time and a richly deserved goal. Still think we are a better team with him than without and when judging him it'd be good for many to appreciate he's in a position which really does not suit a one footed player.

Alex_BCFC Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Before he scored though he was having a real 'Freeman' game. Not really delivering much quality into box etc. Then he hits a worldly in and has a great turn and run. Amazing. Will he kick on though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with the sentiment. i get so annoyed when players are labelled not good enough when they show a lack of form. The fact is it happens to all of us, it doesn't mean we are not good enough, just not good enough right now. Freeman is a good player. 442 will help us stay solid. Wilbo is a phenomenon for what he does at thirty something old to play target man....I can see good things happening now. A bloke called into radio brizz and said LJ needs to keep his nose out of Einstien and keep it simple...To right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree, he got several good crosses into the box before his goal, including a very dangerous one very early on. Not everything came off for him, but that's the same with every player. As I said before the game we've missed Luke recently. Will he kick on? Every chance, but much more likely if the fans are on his side and not so quick to moan when things don't go his way.

redfieldred Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I said during Birmingham game that based on his performances this season, we were missing him, and I was one of his fiercest critics last season. Odowda is hit and miss ( mostly miss) he was poor against qpr. Patterson is better in the middle. He is our best option for right wing. He was our best player today along with Matthews.

Fiale Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Within the first minutes he made a great run towards the box and I thought, ahh here we go. Then he went pretty much absent for most of the rest, a few crosses to nothing/no-one, a good header on target and the great strike to score. To be fair though, it was hardly a great a game, no one really shone that much. Not many chances or things to cheer about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I thought he looked injured and knackered!! Was holding his hip first half so did well to go as long as he did. Great strike. I defo think we are better with him than without though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Sorry to upset those who like Freeman, but he he should be dropped for the next match! He only scores one goal per season, so his season is over. Let's be honest, apart from a couple of minutes at the beginning and a couple of minutes in the second half, he was anonymous. He will never hit a shot like that again, so perhaps he should retire at his peak just like Nico Rosberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my words......"AT HIS BEST".........and the reason he is not a guaranteed started is because he is not always "AT HIS BEST" His consistency is erratic but when he's on fire, he is a very good player. In our promotion season, supporters of other clubs were always saying that he was our best player and was class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
