watkins1983 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Thought he created a fair bit tonight but not many chances to give final ball. Looks super slick, hopefully things click and he creates some good goal scoring opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would like to see him take players on more often. Can't fault him for effort and he seems to have a bit of skill. If he could get past his man, he would have the time and space for an end product. He's no slouch either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think he'll turn out to be a good signing. However, at the moment he is out of tune with the rest of the team. It will come though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulcityfan Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Seems strong and good quality early in the game, he will get better with more games I think. Seemed to tire at end and was shoved off the ball a lot by a physical Bolton side. I have a feeling he will click soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kept cutting inside and by doing that he headed into the Bolton midfield. As you say he's no slouch and could piss pass most defenders if he could learn to go both ways. That said, he's a young lad and he'll learn especially with the top coaching available at City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR at RB has been decent enough, not earth shattering but OK. We therefore have 2 CBs. One gets injured or BANNED, we have no one to play RB. Pisano will have little impact this season. We get a player on loan who (allegedly) we have to pay a fee for if he doesn't play. He is also no more than a decent wideman with little to no end product. So, again, why did we not signs RB???

Because it would put LJ's captain out of the team.

downendcity Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 11 minutes ago, Up The City! said: Clearly I'm in the minority here but I thought he was one of out better players today. I agree, He tried to inject some pace into our attacks rather than maintain the going nowhere passing we got into all too often. He's obviously new to the team and finding his feet and as a result I think he is slightly stifling his natural game, which is to take defenders on. On a few occasions I felt he could have taken a defender on but he made a simple pass instead ( perhaps he feels this is the way we play). One of the problems with games like this is that we get bogged down with passing. Bolton were more direct but seemed to be much more threatening than us. Kent has pace and when he put his foot down he was going past players and if he kept doing this it might have created more than we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was pretty poor last night and I don't think he's quite there with understanding how we play but he clearly has quality and is, in my opinion at least, working hard for tje team.

BTRFTG Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yeah, let's slag off a kid who lost possession a few too many times but who every time went looking for the ball, didn't hide, tried to link things, was positive and took chances. Why not slag off those who seem to do no wrong even though they're far from special and on too many occasions are rank average? Bryan from start to finish was, not for the first time, a total liability. Had that been Hodour the masses would be slaughtering him and ushering him out the club. Didgeridoo offered now't; Reid yet another run around without ever looking dangerous (and no the pen doesn't count as he'd turned his back and had no influence over the clumsy keeper going through the back of him.) We went offensive tonight and showed exactly what's been feared, take away the additional bodies in midfield and are we really that dominant in the high press? Those who called Pack our best player got it right. Smith did well when restored to where he should play. Brownhill and Patts look like players who are happy in numbers and somewhat exposed when asked to step up on their own. It's a work in progress and no point throwing the baby out with the bathwater but tonight's a night to take stock, forget the recent hype, and work out how we go back to basics. We've been punching above our weight and, fingers crossed, may just about throw enough leather to make the playoffs. It's no forgone conclusion.

I think LJ has a desire to play with wingers, yet we seem to be at our best when we don’t. We pass our way through teams, not run at them. Even O’Dowda, a winger, has become less of a winger (pre-injury) this season, and become more effective as a result. I hate it when we seem to play a stretched game. Tonight the game wasn’t as compact as I like, where we grind teams down. Derby was stretched. Cardiff will play to stretch us too. Not sure why that happened, other than 2 wingers, but Kent played alright, Paterson didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
