Silvio Dante Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 The only reason Matty James wasn’t MOM yesterday was because the defensive unit was excellent and took the praise. But he was equally integral to the win - won the ball, was always around the play, prompting. First half especially I think it was his best game for us and he was a genuine MOM contender. Then I open up Twitter and see this. Genuinely, does this man know which way the pitch is? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably thought we were playing in yellow yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J.Thribb Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Jesus. Matty put in his best performance since he’s been here. Protected the back four all game and did everything right-was my MotM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 We certainly miss Matty James when he’s not available which says it all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinMan's left peg Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 First half James was mom. Makes all the right decisions, calm, hard in the tackle. He was excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I can’t even listen to the podcast with him on it as it makes me so cross, and yes i know it’s immature and at 43 i should be able to let it go but he says things for effect. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDziek Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Embarrassing. James was outstanding yesterday and arguably it was his best game for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) He's one of those players, ala Skuse and Cisse, where you notice when he's not there. He's disciplined, knows the game well, cuts off passing lanes, and plays the simple passes - not as expansive as Naismith - but mentally mu h more switched on and less prone to errors, Every team needs that 7/10 man in midfield, in the Cotts side it was Korey - and we missed having one under LJ when Korey was out and Pack was sold. Fact of the matter is, if you have a deep lying midfielder in a three, and the opposition struggle to play through you and fail to score, but more importantly only have one shot on target? 8/10. Every time. Edited February 12, 2023 by Fuber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I listened to the podcast live for the first time today. He was far more realistic than he is on RB or other forums. No doubt the publicity hasn’t gone to his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Belter.

It’s the work that you don’t see that makes the difference, if you don’t notice James during the match then he’s having a good game. Reads it, sticks his foot in at the right places and just makes it tick. He’ll never be an in your face midfielder, we’ve got Williams and Scott for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say based on what the Bristol Post says, but I dont think it is that, he makes an evaluation of a players performance based on what he imagines they might be doing in a game.

The first 20 minutes pretty much consisted of them overhitting passe for Pukki and Sargent to run in behind, that's why the game bypassed him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
