leadman Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 not seen it mentioned, what a fantastic save from a very good free kick from maggs. thought he helped change the game today, not just his long throws but decent defending and some decent long balls up too flint.

He is looking far more settled and confident isn't he? Good thing too, because we need every hand to the pump right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing too, because we need every hand to the pump right now. I find his situation a bit strange. In his first season he was a regular until January when Wright arrived and then he fell out of favour. When he did subsequently get a game his form was a bit patchy. Now he’s getting better with every game. Perhaps, as you say, it’s all about confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 As daft as it sounds I think the chant helps him - has helped his confidence and feeling a part of it So Altogether ..........

wendyredredrobin Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 It does take time and a few games to get up to speed, especially when you are playing out of position but you can see his confidence growing. I like long throw ins, but his are extra long. He can take free kicks too. I think he is still better at CB than LB. Seems a bit slow on the turn at LB and needs to learn to show his winger which way he wants him to go rather than the other way round. I still rate his potential though as he is still very young. Time and experience will make him a great acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 The bloke seems a confidence player, and for me is a player who starts slowly sussing out his opponent and adapts his own game dependant on the opponent. I think he is very good it takes a good player to do that. On another point entirely I am not entirely sure mags or eliasson are fitting in with the rest of the squad. I could be completely barking up the wrong tree.. But look at the behind the scenes footage we see these two seem to be on the periphery of everything, hanging back and timid. I guess they could both be naturally shy rather than not fitting in, and of course it will take a whole for eliasson to feel part of the family. Onwards and upwards.

I thought this as well but then you look at the players at the core its Bryan, Reid, Flint, Pack, Smith, Fielding - All players that have shared lots of ups and downs in terms of shared experiances together. The other players wont have all the shared experiancs of these players but will build it over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxton casual Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 He looked really comfortable as part of a back 3. If we played that formation that would suit him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
