Great to see him looking properly fit seems motivated to get himself into a position to be a nailed on starter. He might become the player we all thought he would after THAT goal at Leeds. You’re living in dreamland. He can’t cross or finish, and scored one goal against Leeds three years ago (off his shin) We should be doing so, so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A winger on loan who can run and cross, with genuine ability. something we have had years to do instead of spaffing it on rubbish like David Jones and Jacob Butterfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no I thought he was appalling at Brentford. honestly answer: has as he been worth the 7 figures paid for him? has he played enough games? have the three years been a success? And he has not been injured for the majority of the 3 years either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no I thought he was appalling at Brentford. Agree. And he finds himself in good company for that game honestly answer: has as he been worth the 7 figures paid for him? No. has he played enough games? Depends if you think he should be in the team... have the three years been a success? Undoubtedly no. And he has not been injured for the majority of the 3 years either. Hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of points for effort and teamwork, few for anything else. Absolutely bang on. Loads of enthusiasm and energy. No end product . Goes to ground too easy for me.

Inspector Lestrade Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 He's working back too much not been allowed to play his game, needs to contrate on his natural game, put the effort upfront, not in defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuttyTeabags Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Would love to see front 4 of Matias Joao. FF Fletch Be frightening for most teams to play against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 He clearly has the bit between his teeth under Jos! Needs one of resident photo-shoppers to conjure something suitable up here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 19 hours ago, Hack-Abusi said: Consistency is key now for players like him, Palmer, Thornily, Penney etc ... need games and need to grab opportunity when they can and perform I think you make the key point. It looks like reputations count for nothing with Jos. FF, Westwood and Hutchinson have learned the downside of this. Penney, Dawson, Matias and Preston have made it work for them. Fletcher, Hooper, Boyd, Jones, Lee, Abdi.....all start with a clean slate with Jos. Work their nuts off when given a chance - they will prosper. Give less than their best - they will see more of the bench than they are used to. Its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I am very satisfied. In preseason he was looking to his own form. To his challenge, in the last few weeks he makes a lot of progression. He is the player who always had the speed. Looks to spaces behind the defence. Looks to the spaces between the central defence and full backs. He’s working very hard in the transition back to defend .He’s making a lot of progression. He has (with) hard work (made himself) an option for the first XI . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 He scored against Sunderland this season didn't he? Good pressure on the defender, cool finish. Lots of good signs from the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe a few Bee Gees songs pre match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
