The uproar will be mental should he move on, which goes to show that what you do on social media is every bit as important as what you do on the pitch these days! If he moves on the only dissapointed will be that we spent a fair bit on him, and I doubt we'd get much back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We said that about Tomlin moving on and it seems we did ok there. Ashton has his faults but he's proving himself a decent negotiator. Can't see that we'd have lost a fortune on him if he does move on, but given that he's had a half tonight it seems he's still in the matchday plans.

But from all reports on here Baker is suspended so he can't play - can't see Golbourne over Magnússon but can def see a back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agard Days Night Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hard to see Magnússon as first choice at CB or LB with the squad as it is. Think he's behind Flint, Wright and Baker for CB spots and Bryan looks set to start at LB. It's a squad game though so maybe there is game time for him here. I would like to see him stay and develop at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hegeler is the better ball playing defender of the two on that showing. Magnússon looked poor tonight in that regard. Very wasteful in possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Liked the look of Pisano. Looked aggressive attacking, if he can be sound at the back i think we've done ok. Liked his positioning for that free kick where he muscled his way to get a header on goal. Looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't tested tonight though, not sure if he'd look quite as good playing stronger opposition. Definitely worth trying him out there as he could be a very good ball playing defender.

TinMan's left peg Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I like Hörður but he was pretty bad when he came on tonight, gave the ball away a few times. Obviously hard to read much into a friendly game but it wasn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 So want him to be a success but no where near a starter for me. Great at interacting with fans, so popular but bench at best for me but hope he comes good. Really sloppy tonight with distribution as was Flint.

JoeAman08 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Mags was poor tonight with the ball. Hegeler looked the much more advanced footballer tonight. Good news is with Wright and Baker and their aggressiveness the backups will get minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a huge Hordour fan but thought he looked very rusty tonight, which was surprising as he had International football in the summer. We weren't really tested by Twente so neither him or Flint had much to do but they both looked like their minds were elsewhere. Afterwards Mags said it was good to play but he felt tired, maybe mentally as much as physically. i was very surprised how good Hedgler was as a CB, and Pisano was outstanding I thought, a huge upgrade from Little.

WSMRobin Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 For me, a cb's first job is to stop the ball going in the back of our net. Too much emphasis is put on the modern day ball playing cb, much like guardiola's obsession with a ball playing gk. How many times last season did we see HM bring the ball out of defence and provide an assist or defence splitting pass? Players of that nature are so rare which is why van dijk is so highly sought after. Within the current squad, I would have HM 4th choice cb behind Flint, Baker and Wright ( in that order) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 In my opinion from last night's showing Hegeler is no CB, if Flint is gone i'd of thought it will be Wright and Magnússon starting v Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Just one thing - if we ship out Scott Golbourne and then get a `can`t refuse` bid for Joe on August 31st (or he gets injured v Villa) who plays at LB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown very little for me and if you saw him the other night you would understand why he isnt starting tonight. He really isnt that good. Them you have to question why he wasn't scouted properly and why we spent £2m on a player deemed 'really isn't that good' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes. Assuming Flint leaves he's our 4th choice centre half at the moment I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agard Days Night Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Would you throw Lloyd Kelly if the situation unfolded the way @Red Right Hand suggested? Can't see the other CB's playing LB which really just leaves Kelly if we rule out Magnússon (or if he leaves too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I wouldn't read last nights game in to anything for me I would start Mags over Hegeler any day of the week. If we do see Flint go I think Wright and Magnússon would be a great CB pairing for the Barnsley match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a straight choice between Kelly and Magnússon I`d have to say I`d prefer Mags just so`s young Kelly doesn`t get thrown in at the deep end and perhaps has his confidence shot to pieces.
