tompo Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Quite a few people are saying that Savage missed a sitter. Can someone tell me when that was please? Only miss I can recall was in the first half when he put one over when perhaps he should have scored. However, as was judged by the linesman to have been offside and a free kick awarded then perhaps people are being a bit harsh.Overall I think he deserved his MOM today. No one played badly but no one really stood out. Brooker was - Brooker and Heywood, Carey and Orr had reasonable games but the goal shaded it for Savage.

Guest alex1089 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Brooker was absolutly fantastic and he deserved a goal along with MOTM imo, savage was quite good but was awfull in the first half but improved in the second half. The defence were as solid as a rock, proved with the goal being the biggest fluke ever against the best strikeforce in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by my opinion that he's not good enough for this level despite the effort and enthusiasm, I know plenty will disagree but this is a forum.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage was dreadful in the first half but did improve second half. Nowhere near good enough to win MOM IMO but because he scored he got the votes. Noble, Brooker and Heywood were much better for me. Despite his goal can anyone realistically see him being a force in this league? He just isn't good enough long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ron Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I thought Bradley Orr was the best I've seen him, instead of hoofing it up field all the time he put some nice, simple but clever balls in and held onto the ball more than usual, getting a cracking shot in early on. Aint a bad player at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freely admit he's a bit raw, but he's a young bloke just like Cotts and Skuse. In my opinion, he has an excellent first touch, can run with the ball and always manages to find a red shirt with his passes and lay offs. I certainly don't recall him mssing any "sitters". I do remember one snatched left foot volley, which he slightly miss-hit, but I don't call that a "sitter". I thought he was effective and demonstrate he has loads of potential. I remember Leroy Lita looking very raw once as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage has had a good run, but nows the time for a bit quality, you don't become a bad player overnight. Brooker needs someone to compliment his skills.

I remember Leroy Lita looking very raw once as well.He was 6 or 8 yards from goal, right in the centre with just the keeper to beat and the ball was sat up perfectly, that's a sitter in my book. He's not a young guy like Cotterill or Skuse, he has 4 or 5 years on them. He has a comparable amount of first team experience, but ask yourself why.Although he doesn't often give the ball away he doesn't do anything useful with it or put people through, and as for control I think it's extremely hit and miss. Superb touch to take a long ball one minute, and then a simple throw in bounces off him and runs 5 yards the next.I would love to be proved wrong but I guess we will see in time.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Having watched Savage several times now I still can't work him out.The blokes a complete enigma.One second he miscontrolls the simplest of passes and then he goes off on a run full of step-overs and gets in a great cross.Consistancy is the word I'm looking for - and Savage ain't got any.I'll put it down to his youth.......

I'm sure he would find something to moan about even if Bas scored a hat trick! :@. If he is so poor then why is GK playing him every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't rate him and once again I gave my honest opinion. Was great to see him score but he is nowhere near good enough long term. I don't know why GJ plays him everyweek and to be honest this is the first thing that GJ has done that I have not ageed with but there you go.
