Red Army 75 Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Since his return to the side I have been impressed with him and it’s probably been his best spell at the club IMO. It seems he has bought into NP ways. I would have no problem with him starting left back for us next season 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Red Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 He's a good technical footballer who uses the ball well but i still worry about him defensively. I thought he played well tonight but i wouldn't be surprised if Nige prefers Pring in that left back role moving forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRedRobin Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I would prefer Pring to start Left Back but I don't have a problem with Dasilva starting right back. When Tanner get's back I don't mind Tanner-Pring-Dasilva rotating around. Dasilva was fabulous today as was pring. It is going to be hard for Tanner to get his place back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Pring is much better defensively, quicker and stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P'head Red Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I thought dasilva did well for the majority of the night, shame about his hospital ball to Massengo before their breakaway goal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 why oh why does every pass to Dasilva go to his right foot so his movement has to be back towards our goal. Why can't Klose pass it on to his left foot in front of him (opposition player permitting) to allow him to move onto the ball on his favoured foot!?

GrahamC Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 We have had a history of decent left backs with comparatively few decent right back (Bradley Orr being an exception) so typical that we currently have 2 better left backs than anyone at RB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the same and did he play the dodgy ball to Massengo leading up to their winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Generally one of JD's better games. I like how tenaciously he can battle for the ball and sometimes even outjump much taller opponents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'm glad. Always been good technically, has come in for some unfair flak- seemed to battle back when speculation that he might have been off the bus- and remember he's 23, time on his side and he has had two medium-long term injuries in the last 2 and a half years, especially 2019/20 where he missed half a season. Whether he starts LB is a different debate but a nice problem to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of players whose right leg was only for standing on .... Brian Drysdale, Terry Cooper, Alan Walsh, Brian Tinnion. Didn't they say of Liam Brady - if you've got a left foot like he has, who needs a right foot to kick with. Funny how right foot only players never seem to stick in the mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of a big deal if he wants to progress his career. Not hugely unusual for a player playing his first season at this level (not having played hardly at all the level below either) to not complete too many 90s. Plenty of more experienced players are quite often the candidate to be subbed off. For info, all Pring’s 90s came from starts at LB and LCB3…his games where he got subbed off were LWB or LM. O’Dowda (LWB and LW) regularly subbed off too. High intensity position by default. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the time it would take for a pro footballer to transfer the ball from his right foot to his left foot would be about a tenth of a second ... nothing to see here ...
