He probably doesn't have to adapt as much as players in other positions would - hopefully. A triangle with two central defenders sat behind him who can play the ball and him could be quite a game changing trio, and that would be exciting to watch ultimately. I believe he's been signed so we don't need to have three in the heart of defence. Could be a solid shout that. Think he will turn out to be a decent player for us to be fair, just needs time to bed in. Not sure he works as part of a central midfield 3 in the 3-5-2 that we have going on at the moment. Then again, maybe Jos is gearing us up to play the 2 defensive midfielders style he played back in germany when all players are fit. Joey and Hutch protecting the defence with attacking midfielders in front of them supporting the striker? Only one that knows right now though is Jos. I Dont know if we will be all that pretty to watch under Jos, but I do think he will make us very tough to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 He did ok. I’ve seen better debuts but I’ve also seen a lot worse. The encouraging thing is that you can see a player there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fine and by no means one of our worst players yesterday. Yes. Genuinely thought he was garbage. Many under hit balls back to Dawson, which put him under a fair amount of pressure to save Joey’s blushes. I’m not one to single a player out after his first game, but the question was asked, and I’m giving you how I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Good energy, but made a few sloppy mistakes. Needs to play more matches to get up to speed with the pace of the Championship game IMO. Didn't help that Loovens, who is becoming an increasing liability, sold him short and he picked up a yellow card in possibly preventing Reading from scoring.

I’m not one to single a player out after his first game, but the question was asked, and I’m giving you how I saw it. Bloke takes a yellow card 5 minutes into his debut to save a goal. Was busy and put a foot in (see 5 mins 10 in the extended highlights for an example of his sort of work) and I reckon he gave the ball away maybe 5 times in the 90 minutes, which would give him really good possession retention compared to everyone else on the pitch... and he was garbage? Good grief. Seriously, watch the game back and count how many times he gave the ball away. In reality it'll be very few, it was only because he when he gave the ball away the opposition got a chance it was highlighted. Which he shouldn't do but come on... it was his first time on a football pitch in England, he's known his teammates for 7 days and he's used to a slower tempo... but because he gave the ball away a couple of times he's "garbage"? He's "garbage" because a foreign footballer who has only just got to know teammate's names wasn't quite on the same wavelength as the rest of his squad? Talk about an overreaction ...FFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about an overreaction ...FFS I’ve never once stated that HE’S garbage. The question was about his performance. So I’ve commented on his performance. My first comment I stated that he will surely get better. In all honesty I have never seen him before, so Friday was the only impression that I have of him. I certainly won’t be making my mind up of him after only one game, however I really don’t think it was a strong performance at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod9 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Honestly can’t believe some of our fans. Young lad on his debut in a foreign country. Considering he was booked very early on, not really his fault, I though he did great. Was in Readings faces, constantly harassing to the point I was worried about him collecting another yellow. Breath of fresh air after the usual “stand of and let them have the ball” approach we have had all season. Also looked really enthusiastic, thought he’d won the cup celebrating our second goal. Sometimes I think our fans want players to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Not disimilar to Fred and Joost's debuts. Its a massive step up to what he's used. Yes he will need to get used to the new pace and being hit as soon as ball comes to him. I don't know what fans expect first time out but I thought he did ok. Only time will tell if he can adjust properly. Fred now seems to be doing a lot better so why can't Joey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll take a while before we can get a decent indication on how he’s going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grew into game but clearly afraid of a second yellow. Needs to settle and adjust to English game...time will tell. You're right but I reckon he showed enough for us to be confident he'll do well as he gets used to the pace of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
