Flat Owl Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Never been the same since Bannan played a hospital ball to him and he cracked his knee 18 months ago He is as unfit as has been for a while now and he's just not up to that turn of speed or intensity...his timing and passing has suffered as a consequence and it maybe time for him to become cover for a new CB. Cultured player but this season and most of last has seen him become less and less effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 He’s been a very good player and captain for Wednesday and I’ve been one of his biggest fans, but he’s aged 5 years this season. He’s gone. He’s making rash decisions as his legs have gone. Should have got sent off at Ipswich as well. He’s becoming a liability. Its a a shame as I’ve got complete respect for him as a player and a man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_1 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 No need for any hostility towards him. He's had great spells for us. Sadly, it looks like he's lost the bit of pace he had. Time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ante's Bubbly Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 He was too slow 3-4 seasons back. Donaldson knew exactly what he was doing by sprinting to get the free kick when he thought Loovens was going for the ball. He even slowed down when he saw he was beating Loovens to the ball. Clever play by Donaldson but never a booking. No studs and no intent as Loovs tried to stop. It was a free kick, nothing else, but the ref was intent on booking any of the Wednesday players he could.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Out for 2 games now don’t forget , and with lees out for around 3 weeks still and joost a couple of weeks away? I believe we are down to fred and pudil at CB incomings due ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash76 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Looked like he thought about going to ground and then changed his mind remembering his first card. Not like the OP to start a negative thread though. What we should be saying is a solid base to build on is now spoilt by people calling our club captain a disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 A very good player at the wrong stage of his career. Thought he was excellent up to the sending off. Typically, pathetic comments about him being an idiot from our resident morons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's sad to see Loovens struggling this season, he's been one of our best players imho over the past 3 seasons. But he's 34 now and it might be time for him to think about a coaching role, I'm sure he'd be good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 been a great player and captain for us ,a steal for free with his experience he's come to the point where his pace has gone would be a excellent addiction for a lower championship or a league one team. he's done more good than bad for Wednesday and wish him the best when he leaves at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Anyone else think he talked himself into that second yellow? Just watched it back a second time (full coverage, highlights edits don’t really show it) and the ref is nowhere near his pocket until Glenn kicks off about it being a foul. Looks like he’s giving the ref a right negging. Edited January 13, 2018 by Mr. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was trying to tell him he didn't touch him and he dived. Which i think was the truth. But my first impression was he fouled him and it was a yellow.

That’s as may be; it was a foul, albeit accidental/poorly judged/whatever...point is I’m convinced the booking was for the reaction, not the foul. Doubly disappointing if so.

Handball_!! Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Been saying it for 2 years. He’s too slow thus picks up many bookings. Replace quicksharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an Essex Owl Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Has been great for us overall in his time here and does not deserve the abuse he is getting but football is a brutal game and this season by and large he has been a real liability. Reminds me of where Big Mig ended up in the second season after promotion. Went from being a top defender/legend in League one to dog's abuse by some in the Championship. It can happen quickly to centre backs. Loovens should be acknowledged and thanked for his time here but he needs replacing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
