victorturner Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Boyd at least has a sense of purpose in his play unlike the other prominent midfielder on display tonight. He is laborious, he does look unfit and has no pace, I agree. But he is playing with some very average players and coming back after a long lay off, I do not think he is the worst on display not deserving such rubbishing.

Pastor Kidneys Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Even though playing out of position he's dreadful. Not alone though as we have Jones and Buttercup rivalling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twolaptops Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Watched the highlights back v Villa................Boyd was responsible for THREE of Villa's goals.....lack of challenge led to conceding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl1987 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 24 minutes ago, Mr. Tom said: He's a grafter and that's to his credit, but he doesn't seem to read the game well at all. Anything that isn't played comfortably into his path seems to bypass him completely. This exactly. He cannot read the game defensively at all. If it doesnt land at his head or foot he cannot recover. Slow to put in a challenge. Fair play hes out of postion but afraid he another one perhaps past his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley used to use him as their main long ball out of defence on the counter. He can chase them all day long. Our total lack of pace means we seem to try to move forward in quick short triangles most of the time, and he often looks like he's playing piggy in the middle. And losing badly.

He doesn’t even look like a league one player. Was obvious from the pre season rangers game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko87 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 He's not good, I thought he was supposed to be a nippy winger in his Peterborough & Burnley days? We must hold the record for having the slowest wingers and Strikers in the football league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassy knoll Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Think we can all agree he’s been poor,but we are sticking him in a position where you need pace and a position he can’t play,boyd,fox,pudil can’t play wingback/fullback, and while Reach has probably been our best player this season and played mostly well in his new position,I do think we should switch boyd and reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcjack27 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 He’s a number 10 being asked to play at wing back, most players would just flat refuse to do that so fair play to him for trying and putting a shift in. Lacks pace for the position for sure but he can run all day. Would like to see him centrally because no doubt he’s a talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Went from being a pretty much ever present in the Premiership to looking a shocking player in the space of a season. We seem to have that knack of doing that to players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been a number 10 for a long time, rarely played that position for Burnley. Yes he has been out injured a long time but once players are match-fit to play and are playing regularly then it doesn't take them that long to get back into it and it's not as if general fitness has been an issue for him before. He looks lacking in confidence and slow to act or react with or without the ball. He looked decent in the first half on Saturday when we were on the front foot but poor second half and again tonight when asked to defend. The position he is playing is probably the main issue but I can't see him being that effective anywhere else. Our options left-back or left wing-back are very limited though even with a fully fit squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash60s Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 we know 2 things for sure about George Boyd:- 1. He'll never be a left back and 2. He needs a good haircut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peake Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Baffles me how him and Jones have multiple promotions and a vast amount of Premier League appearances between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
