Robbored Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hows Road runner getting on then?Fans favorite yet? just wondering how Ivan is getting on down south, been a while since i last asked..He must be one of the quickest players that I've ever seen in a City shirt. Despite his lightening pace he doesn't deliver much in terms of goals or quality crosses (yet)Still the fans like him and he already has his own song....

Dollymarie Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Just needs to work a teeny bit (and this is purely down to his pace) on not getting caught offside so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Lad Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Stop being offside and he would be brill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonreds Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 i think he,s more of a wide player but is being asked to play down the middle at mo. he looks good but i think the best is to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 We won't see the best of him, IMHO, until he plays right wing.Playing as a striker needs a different skillset, not just blistering pace.........cue an IS hat trick today!!Considering he missed the first four games through suspension I'm glad he hasn't been booked yet!

From the last minute of the west brom game, when we saw him roaming down the right and almost winning us the game, that look like his natural game.With McIndoe probably out of today's game, we may well see sproule on the right with byfield upfront...

I don't think that leaves us too attacking, especially as we haven't witnessed sproule in his favoured posision, he may well have an excellent work rate too.Either way, good times though huh??

Alex_BCFC Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Someone needs to sit him down and teach him the offside rule...But move him to the wing and I think he will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
