HirstWhoScoredIt Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) And some people have criticised this signing. Waste of a shirt apparently. No pace either apparently but he tore open their full back in the first 5 minutes. Proper winger who doesn't really on lightning pace alone. Just enough to get him by. Wallace was magnificent today and MOM.BUT why do you persist in saying he has pace? He is as slow as they come! He uses trickery to get half a yard and cross it in.

Guest owl from retford Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Been inconsistent for us but today he was world class a proper winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses trickery to get half a yard and cross it in. wingers dont need to be lightening quick if the ball is played accurately to them. They can beat their man with a little trickery and craft . its the delivery that counts , not how fast they can cover 100 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikers don't need to be quick either. Neither do centre halves. But then I wouldn't try and claim Nuhiu and Loivens had pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Wallace was magnificent today and MOM. BUT why do you persist in saying he has pace? He is as slow as they come! He uses trickery to get half a yard and cross it in. He's not quick in terms of Helan, Antonio, JJ. But he's not Sedgwick/Teale slow either. He's not much slower than Ben Marshall. Maybe just as quick. He's got 'regular' pace. He didn't just use trickery to get half a yard and cross it in today, though that is his party piece. On around 5 minutes he completely bamboozled James Husband in our own half, played the ball around him & sprinted the length of the pitch. He has enough pace to not be considered a slow winger.

Ronio Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 sounds like he was MoM today. Really pleased for him, just needs to get a run of games in the first 11, then we will see what he's made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 His delivery from set pieces was absolutely fantastic today. Can't fault it. My only (and it's very slight) criticism is he doesn't do enough from open play for my liking. But he was outstanding today, really great balls into the box. Just not bothered...

Do you mean when he was 5 yards ahead of Husband through his skill and then Husband caught him easily? I love Wallace but he is slow as they come. Their isn't a full back in the division he could outrun. Luckily he has other talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swafty Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 A mate of mine who is a Burnley fan says that he is inconsistent but very good on his day. Today was clearly his day. Love the variety in our squad. Our Warburton delivery man said he is poo poo and glad he has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Bannan and Lopez should have scored from his crosses in open play. Edited September 19, 2015 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 To be fair, Bannan and Lopez should have scored from his crosses in open play. Indeed. But I still think he needs to a little more. His defensive side is worryingly week and he seems to always have to cut back which can be a problem playing on the right. But his set piece delivery was the best I've seen in a Wednesday shirt in a good long while! Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNHARKES Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Best crossing display by a player i have seen for years. Outstanding won us the match today with his delivery This never since the waddler have I seen a display of pinpoint accuracy into the box!!

Bleeder Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Also worked hard when we didn't have the ball. Hope he keeps his place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday_Jack Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Can wait til his next off day...He will be the worse signing of the summer and should never plauer again!! Form is temporary class is permanent and Wallace as a foot and vision that is class. Players like him only need one chance to create something.

swfc-dan Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Glad to hear this as I really thought he'd be a big player for us, just been a bit worried he might have lost his pace as he's gotten older. Don't think he played much football last season, so hopefully was just getting the cobwebs out. Always had quality set-piece delivery and that will be really big for us this season.
