BCFC1512 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Been very poor last few games imo. Course for concern? Just a blip or in need of a rest do we think? Seems to of lost his swagger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDarwall Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Didn't think he was poor yesterday. Not easy to play in centre mid v Swansea. Think he won the ball back for our goal & also played Wells through. Not his best performance but not poor imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I thought he was decent enough yesterday. Another one, like Weimann, who didn't get much time off in the summer and for whom the break for the World Cup is probably coming at a good time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Young players inevitably are going to have dips in form. But overall I think Scott has been playing well (at home anyway, I don’t get to away games). He plays with huge maturity for his age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had flu in the week and also as @TDarwall rightly says, not easy playing against a side who seem to find it more important to keep the ball, than to create goal scoring opportunities for themselves. Scott spent most of his time in defensive mode but did initiate attacks when he was able to nick the ball from boring (but effective) Swansea. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Considering he was under the weather I thought he put a shift in. That shows tremendous character. Nige recognised that he needed a break which shows that the coaching staff are switched on. A refreshing change to a previous time when Pack & Brownhill were continually flogged for 90 minutes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 OP - don’t think he’s been very poor at all. Had some games where he’s not reached his above-the-bar standards, but he contributes in nigh on every match. Yesterday his contribution was predominantly w/o the ball. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i will say is his delivery from set pieces has been really poor. We shouldn’t have to be relying on a centre half in Naismith as the only player in the squad to be able to deliver a good set piece. It’s something Scott clearly needs to work on.. For a professional footballer to continually not beat the first man with corner kicks is criminal IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to the lad. I agree with others who say he did most of his best work without the ball yesterday but if he's got the will to get out there and do 90 minutes hard graft when he is feeling like shit then I can forgive the odd set piece hitting the first man tbh. Although there will be some loon on here who will claim it makes no difference and that he played like Pirlo at 5-a-side with his mates on four successive nights once when he had Dengue Fever. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megansdad Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 think he could probably do with a break and a rest. Has been excellent but does not seem to have quite the same spark currently. Set piece delivery also not as good as he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 You have to remember his age, inconsistency in performance is something we have to accept if we want to see these kids come through, Conway has been quieter too this month but seemed back on it yesterday. I think the months break will work in our favour with these lads in particular. I hope there isn't anything planned for the International Under squads during the break? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that we have King & Kadji, the former (34 yesterday) is very much a bit part player now, the latter has no experience to speak of. Think we can all deduce where this is going re HNM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Thought he was poor at Reading and not great v Millwall. The problem he has is that his displays have set the bar so high for himself & raised all our expectations. A decent performance from him gets considered sub standard but in reality he did ok. His performances previously were 8 or 9s out of 10 but he has had a few 6s recently. My biggest frustration is his delivery from set places which by and large have been disappointing when we know the quality he possesses . He’s the one midfielder who can go past an opponent & one of first names on team sheet but I wonder if the summer tournament and lack of a break is impacting him. November a good time to recharge for him. Edited October 30, 2022 by Shuffle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he injured or unwell ? Either way tend to agree we won't see him in a City shirt for much longer. Isn't he out of contract at the end of the season ?

Simon79 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Thought he did a good job for the team yesterday in the middle of the park, against a well drilled midfield. Only thing I would say, is that his set pieces could be better. He will have dips though, he’s young & he’s playing in the most difficult position on the park in my opinion, in the most competitive league in the world.

COYR Spot on, more than 50 league games at 19, versatile position wise, can tackle, can draw a foul, has vision, scores goals, not seen anyone (Gow included) better at his age at our club.

I think you`re right here otherwise I`m sure that he would have come on when Nahki and Antoine went off rather than bringing on two strikers. I believe the subs yesterday were based on who had it in them to get out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've scored a few from corners this season including the winner vs PNE taken by Scott. As long as Dasilva is kept away from them, they are pretty dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
