I.T.I Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 He's not the best at it & Liera needs to learn how to mark - 2 free headers from the penalty spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 If it wasn't for Kirkland we could have been down already. Yes Kirkland may be lacking in one or two things but overall he is class and certainly a contender for player of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Llera has done excellent on the whole this season. Shame he won't be kept on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'd like to think he'll get another year, but you're probably right Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'd like to think he'll get another year, but you're probably right Simon. Jones has played him because he had to after Taylor failed to step up to the mark, not because he wanted to. If he'd have had another realstic option, Llera wouldn't have been playing. Shame, because him and Reda are my favourite players due to their committment levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think DJ was forced to play Llera, but I also feel Llera 'made the place his own' by his overall improvement.....his passion alone puts him ahead of Taylor, not that I dont rate Taylor because I've never seen him play, but the team needed Lleras energy and his will to win. He might get a year extension as back up to a younger centre back coming in, but then we have Taylor.....so doubtful. Agree about Llera and Reda, their enthusiasm to push the team forwards can't be underestimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 As I mentioned in an earlier thread, Llera and Gardner don't make a good partnership. Sure they've both turned in some heroic performances but Llera particularly, often fails to pick up his man. As a pairing there isn't that understanding of who is dropping off or which man is picking up which. Maybe it's down to Llera having to play on the right side whilst being left footed. It's not ideal I know, but there are plenty of left footed partnerships that do look secure. All I know is that although we don't really concede many goals, mainly down to sacrificing attacking options, we do still concede a high percentage of headers in the six yard box. However I'm sure this is something DJ will deal with in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The get this relegation threat over and done with and then I am sure the coaching staff will be dealing with the issue you pin-point. If it can be sorted and we can look to secure the sevices of a more creative midfielder (maybe that's Corry/McCabe) then we can look forward with plenty of optimism next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Llera just loses concentration too much. I like the lad and his passion but if we want to develop as a team he has to be shown the door in May. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
