RaspberryRed Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Firstly Big props for getting his City goal today. A goal created from his vision to lay the ball out to Taylor who put in a great cross and the rest was all about his desire to burst into the box and find space for the finish He's only played 37 games in the Championship (9 as sub) and from memory I can't remember him having a bad game. Only used sporadically and couldn't get near the first team before xmas after looking good in the early part of the season. He has been instrumental in the 'Trustworthy' set of players that have produced the goods to insure our survival. For all LJ's and the Clubs failings this season to pick him up on a Free at the age of 21 with bucket loads of improvement it looks a cracking bit of business WE ARE STAYING UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 A great signing, and can play a number of positions. Will be a big player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But used in a forward midfield role and given the space too play aggressively he's been superb. Well done, Josh. Championship class more than confirmed.

Engvall's Splinter Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Think he's bang average to be on honest. Yet I'd happily take a bang average league position going forward, so may be I need to lower my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not super pleasing on the eye very often but he's very reliable. That doesn't mean he's average though. Reliablity is key for the league imo. He won't mess up and will always make the right play. Also, as stated, he's just 21. He will keep getting better and I'm sure he'll have a few more goals next season which we'll need more of from our midfield post Tammy Abraham(who many need to stop comparing our other youth to!).

IMO he been superb for us.. All action midfielder who breaks up play superbly, gets back when required and has been unlucky not to score more for us.. Its no coincidence he's been one of the mainstays a successful team over the last 5 games.. Please explain why you don't rate him? I'm intrigued?

Currently doesn't score enough goals or rarely offers a killer pass or assist. Isnt either a defensive or creative presence. Often hides when we're in possession. Busy yes yet doesn't take the game by the scruff of the neck enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yeah have noted the Bryan slayers have gone quiet, him and Josh all about energy and commitment . Great for Josh to get his first goal will only help him. And Taylors cross was great another one who just needs a goal. Be great if it comes against Brum next week!

Amazing how 2 fans see things so differently as I think that's really harsh on a young lad in a team that's been scrapping for league survival.

Davefevs Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Think Josh has improved and will add more to his game. Had an encouraging spell earlier this year in the centre, but felt he tired in games. Playing wider probably gives him more breathers and he looks strong at the end. Promising future. He can take a wicked free kick, just don't think we've seen that from him yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need you Josh. Just as an after thought, does anybody else think that it's possibly been Tammys presence in the squad that has lifted our younger players to their present level. He's certainly set an example that age isn't a barrier if you are prepared to work hard enough & of course have the skills Tammy has. Just a thought .

At Preston he never looked like a creative type who could pick a clever pass and unlock a defence, but arriving late into the box he can get a few goals as he's got a good shot on him for sure.

Hampshire reds Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think Josh is a class act. Only 21 a premier league player in the very near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't be relied on to get behind the ball in the centre when out of possession. Saw this v Cardiff Fulham and reading. He stood too far off his man, probably due to tiredness. luckily we have smith and pack now to do this and this frees josh up on the wing. Always looks to help out his full back and looks dangerous going forward. Like him a lot on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
