damianb1 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 A promising debut, very impressive distribution and he will improve. I think he could do with bulking up quite a bit as he looks a bit lightweight at this stage for the physicality of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA had a good game for his first. He's very much defence minded and not afraid to try a pass. He doesn't bring the ball out but looks to have the ability once his confidence grows. I noticed Westwood liked him. He seemed to have a decent rapport with a number of our players and wasn't afraid to go and have a word with Bannan about positioning. His maturity for someone on their debut was quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course its a new country, league and intensity of play - all have to be factored in I don't think Forest were capable of exploiting any gaps - they were a shambles Cannot really judge JVA in that game - tougher and sterner tests await - see how he copes then to get a better idea of his capability for this league Cheers mate, appreciated.

Whatahoot Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 2 hours ago, Lord Snooty said: Has to stay on his feet for the goal when Osborn advances to the box. He's a step away when he jumps in. Other than that. Looked very promising. Yep must agree with that. Looked composed and able to spot a forward pass. Well done to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesowl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Loovens = slow sideways pass, just about reaching the target. Van Aken = long ball or dribble or cutting pass through midfield. He going to be a MASSIVE player for us I have no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreyswfc Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He was very much at fault for their goal. Other than that he looked solid. Early days we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although tbf - Loovens over 100's of games has proved to be a defensive stalwart of high reliability Where JVA over 1 game has been shown to have made a bad defensive decision leading to a goal (though not entirely his fault) - but he can play a pass when not under any pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakefieldowl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Very good debut and he will learn from that today. Well done JVA I think he will be a real assert. I 'Joost' hope he understands how massively important the game against the pigs is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lets face it, the pace of the game and the slow, sideways passing that seems to irk our fans so much has Loovens at he heart. Thats not meant to be a dig at Loovens by the way, he is very good at what he does. But we need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthRustyOwl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I initially thought he was at fault for the goal, but I'm not so sure having seen replays. He would never have got there staying on his feet, so the only option he had was to dive in. For me Lees was more at fault as he had been drawn out and Van Aken had to come round to try and cover. Very impressive debut though whether he was at fault or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Impressed by this lad. Looks like another Lees/Loovens clone in the making with his composure and quality at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Also seems decent in the air and quick. Could be a real coup from a top flight Dutch team, shows the draw of England even the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Impressed me today. Only going to get better imo the more he gets use to the English game. Have high hopes for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Tibbs Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He'll be gutted he was at fault for the goal - but he wasn't alone. Lets hope he learns that sliding in around the box is a no-no. Clearly hits a good cross field ball, imagine, just imagine if we had a quick right winger to run on to them... (no disrespect RW). Looks taylor made to play alongside TL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
