petehinton Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 My MOTM today by far. Having McCrorie back is probably the safety net, and also competition for him to step up, he so greatly needed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I posted earlier that he was excellent in every part of the pitch today, he has become a very valuable member of the squad. We always seem to struggle with right backs, in comparison to left backs but he is becoming an exception. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRedRobin Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Incredibly happy for George Tanner, on the pitch for a chunk of the season has been hard for him but recently he has looked incredible and I really hope this continues for him. I think right now Atkinson will find it hard to come into the back 3 and will have to work very hard to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the poll contenders will be Tanner, Dickie, Knight, James and Max. One has to miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_bristol Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Really pleased for him when I think back to that WBA away game a couple of years back. Gives 100% every time. Hopefully more to come from him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltons Army Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Delighted for him - something very likeable about him Quiet , unassuming , zero ego , and gets his head down and gets on with it - has settled and improved bit by bit Good on him and an excellent piece of recruitment 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 George had another good game, but for me James is my MoM for his first half performance. And for his goal celebration, wtf was that ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 He has been one of our most reliable and consistent performers this year. As he’s unfashionable he won’t get mentioned, however, I’d have him in contention for our player of the season. Certainly young player (although Tommy will probably pick that up as he is the poster boy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton Fete Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 So much of what he does is unnoticed because it isn’t eye catching but he has developed massively this season for me His confidence moving forward is improving but defensively whether one on one, breaking up play or sometimes just knocking it out rather than over play in a dangerous position is outstanding so his decision making gets better month on month I remember his screamer of a shot against Sheff Utd a few years ago that hit the post so hopefully he’ll have a pop again soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Just to put it in context, Tanner cost around the same as a Tilson. Mental how good he's been for that price. 7 minutes ago, Davefevs said: I’m shocked, I tell thee, I’m shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until around 2 months ago, he was hesitant andnegative going forward. Since then, and certainly since McCrorie returned he has , without doubt been our most improved player. Well done that man.

You've answered your own question. Tanner so much better with McCrorie. He can get forward knowing the pass (forward) is on, or the space will open up with the run. Was particularly depressing seeing him trying to get forward with Weimann constantly drifting infield away from him, no pass, no space.

Would have loved him to have had the LJ money, I’m convinced he would have got us to the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was nice to see him take on his man, that gives his opposing defender something different to think about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Whilst I agree with the praise Tanner is getting for his overall performance, I do think he could've prevented their goal. It looked to me like he was poised to intercept the cross but for some reason pulls out. Perhaps he had a poor call from his teammates or a dodgy unsportsmanlike call to leave it from the Boro player who took the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 He's 24 with 100+ league appearances. His ambition has to be to play in the Premier League by the time he hits his prime. Will be interesting to see how he develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back of the Dolman Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Another solid performance from George tonight. Took stick earlier in the season for the passing backward which I thought at the time was harsh as I think his options were often limited. But tonight he was solid defensively but also made some driving runs forward and attacked more than normal. Didn’t do a bad job at left back either when he moved over. A really good guy to have in the squad I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was highly critical of Tanner and backward play (albeit noting that his options in front were often non-existent). Just wished then, that he would take it and run with it. This is now emerging as part of his game. Solid performance from a young man I am beginning to trust to do the right thing. Some credit to Vyner too....he often prompts and keeps him right!

dazza247 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 (edited) I love George Tanner. If I was the type to get a player's name on the back of the shirt, then he'd be in the reckoning. Wholehearted commitment, brilliant one on one defending, getting better going forwards and you can guarantee he's giving absolutely everything. Improving game by game, didn't cost much, no ego. The kind of player you want at your club when you want everyone to be giving their all for the badge. Forza George Tanner. Forza East Enders (might have had an ale or 6).
