Tank_owl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Basically played in his best position and hey presto did really well - what a surprise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It is pretty obvious watching Boyd get round the pitch today that he is at his fittest since he signed. His game is all about running and in past appearances he was always off the pace. He has always been a great pro at his other clubs and I don’t think his improvement today is anything sinister at all. Just finally fit and a coach who has faith in him.

Like having a new signing. Summed up in one moment just before he came off when he sprinted 50 odd yards back - never got near ball or player but it was enough to put pressure on the defender who misplaced his pass into touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Even when played out of position a player of Boyd's pedigree should still be able to run without looking like they are wearing lead boots and pass the ball 10 yards. Something he has failed to do in the last 18 months. Theres really no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Never thought I’d see a thread praising Boyd, let alone in a Wednesday shirt again Been a critic but he’s stepped up last few games. Westwood, Hutch, Boyd - on earth was Jos doing? Must have been more than football as no one can be that stupid Guess you need players like Boyd in this league - someone who gets up and down and has a footballing brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew he was out of position then, so why only now is it an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy87shef Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Another player I was very happy with today. Mainly when I’ve seen him for us he’s looked a yard off the pace, held on to the ball to long and didn’t seem to do the basics right. Granted he was not played in the right position and was coming back from injury. Was great today. Hopefully we can continue to get this level of performance.

i used to be sc_owl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Excellent game from Boyd, but I felt he should have come off for Winnall a good ten minutes before the change was made. As others have said; Jos royally fornicated us with his management. If he’d gone ten games ago we would be so much higher up the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more about Jos than it is about Boyd. One more twist of the knife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Think back to CC and Boyd openly spoke about the lack of fitness at the club to what he was used to. This did not help his game which is mostly about running hard work and commitment. Under Jos we thought things would improve but they got worse by playing crazy formations and square pegs in round holes. This is the first time he looks more like the Burnley player we all knew. He's fit, hungry for it and being played in a position where he should have been all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodwickOwl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Some of his touches and vision today was great, linked up well with different players all over the pitch. Looked like the Burnley player he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
