He doesn’t even look like a league one player. Do I recall that Carlos asked him too slow his high intensity, non stop running and workrate down... after only 2 games (or did I dream that in a parallel universe, quantum physics stylee)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlInCardiff Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Never like slating our own players but don't know what's happened to him since he's joined Wednesday. I'd have loved him with us when he was younger but he just looks knackered/disinterested since he's been here.

Orlando_Trustful Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Another truly awful signing to add to the long list over the last three seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I thought Boyd looked tired last night He saw plenty of the ball, but had little positive effect He's played in all bar one of Jos's sides (12 of the last 13) and these coming after a lengthy injury lay-off I'd say it's catching up with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 He’s clearly passed his best. His legs which were his main attribute have gone. However he is better than Fox Poor signing and another one we will struggle to move on. I fear this is a long job for whoever takes it because there are several players who we won’t be able to move on and no money for new ones.

Lord Snooty Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Two serious shoulder operations. I'm glad I haven't had them. Your arms are a big part of your running technique aren't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 To be honest hasn't looked good at any point this season. Remember his debut, and was a little taken aback by how off the pace he looked in that game. He was poor last night, and another who looks like he is short of energy, creativity, and confidence.

Eightace Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Played 30 odd premier league games last year. When I've seen him he's looked a good player and he's got a good rep as a player in general. He's not the first player we've turned poor. Just something very wrong with the club.

Lord Snooty Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) His legs have gone? He covered more than double the distance of any other player on the park in the Owls - V- Villa match. How have his legs gone. He might have been tired last night. I suspect most people would be if they had done double the running of everyone else (in an alien role) and then had to play 1 v 2 against two Premier League players of not inconsiderable pace 3 days later. Good God. He hasn't been sensational by any means. But who the f*ck has this season? He's in there giving it his best. Maybe if we had signed a 'proper' fit for purpose left back , Boyd, who has played his career as a wide attacking midfield player wouldn't be stuck out there with a target on him.

OxonOwl Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yeah, tired was what he looked. No spark. He had no tricks or pace to beat a man and get a cross in so he just kept turning back. Looks like he should have been rested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidioso Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Baffled when we signed him, still am! He seems so lightweight in the tackle, and never looks confident to me. Loses possession/move breaks down far too often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I remember being almost ecstatic when he signed. I know that he was playing out of position last night, and as Lawrenson commented “ I wonder if he’d have signed if he knew that he would be playing left back “, but I am surprised how ineffective and slow he is .

May I offer an opinion with a touch of perspective? Could it be that these players with vast Premier League and top end Championship experience who came here and have massively underperformed have done so because of us as a club? There is certainly a number of them. Is it a pattern? Or were they all rubbish all the time really and we’ve been mugged off? I personally think playing them with injuries, not managing their fitness and wellbeing properly and playing them out of position and in a system they don’t excel in may have played a part. Just adding a little counter perspective to these hundreds of posts in multiple threads by all these people about how crap all our players are.

NeonLeon Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Don’t think his fitness is a massive issue because he’s up and down all game. Its just everything else. He’s so slow! Decision making is stunted and his technique is laboured. His end product aswell has had me genuinely questioning whether he is actually George Boyd!
