Rocking Red Cyril Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Struck me Scott had taken a big hit tackle from Brum player. Which he took treatment for bit before he went off. Was he taken off still suffering, possible injury or was it tactical switch ? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 He was getting a bit niggly and involved in things. I thought he was taken off to avoid getting a yellow or red card. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 And he didn’t have a particularly great game either. Willians coming on in his place had a real impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt he did ok today kept trying to make things happen going forward. Williams did add a more solid compact mode to the midfield when it was needed in the game. As I saw it anyway. A top team performance I was really not expecting before the game. Well done lads and NP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played very well today. What amazes me is our expectancy that the bloke will be head and shoulders above everyone else and people then say he didn’t play well. Sigh. Probably our best player since the 70s. 2 minutes ago, James54De said: Didn’t seem particularly happy at being taken off either. That’s good.

AshtonRobin21 Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 He was getting frustrated with the Ref (who gave him nothing all game), and gave some soft fouls for Brum. Good player management from Nige. Scott gets a lot of yellows, no need for a suspension. Plus Williams freshened things up at the right time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I don't mind players getting ratty at being substituted. If they were happy about it then that would concern me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willians coming on in his place had a real impact. Williams did okay, but the idea that he made a big improvement is wide of the mark. Scott's so much better than him. I'd expect to see James on the bench on Tuesday with Williams, Scott and Naismith starting. That probably explains the subs more than anything.

Thanks @Davefevs. Scott started the game well but became less and less effective as the first half continued, and having to compete with Bacuna, with there being far more threat down the right with Sykes and Tanner. And in the second half, Scott looked tired and at risk of getting yet another yellow card before he was subbed. So yes by his standards, not one of his best games, although at the risk of more brickbats I would also suggest that his form more generally has dipped a bit compared to earlier in the season. Not surprising in a young player, as his early season form was exceptional, but he is still a class act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he played three sloppy passes which probably stuck in people's minds. One was that low side foot cross which went straight to the keeper. Also a couple of through balls that he got wrong on the counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to be limping after one “challenge” about 5 minutes before he was subbed & definitely losing his cool a bit became he was clearly being singled out for treatment. Very logical substitution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 He certainly got the “treatment “ from Birmingham, but dear god I wish he would develop a killer ball. A few opportunities spurned that just needed a better pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hxj Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) He has played more minutes this season than anyone but Vyner, and four times as many as anyone within 5 years of his age. At 19 can't you just give him a break? Edited January 14, 2023 by Hxj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with his performance until coming off until he got agitated, where it became obvious to take him off to manage fitness and for man management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
