Birley Owl 1867 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thought he played well at RB. Good turn of pace and excellent burst forward. Palmer was great again though you're right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United are obviously better at the system than we would be but I think them as a back 3 with Hutch in front would give us a good basis for stopping them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I thought he looked fantastic when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the sort of player I’d describe as having raw talent. He did really well when he came on but I can’t see him deposing Palmer (who was fvvcking excellent yet again by the way. Hes the sort of player id describe as someone who hasnt played any proper football for aaages. why make such statements on what he is based on less than an hour or 2 of footy for us? how Hooper will look after 2 sub games, compared to how he will look after 15 games is two totally diff' players. Iorfa is the same! let him get into the swing of it before you tell me what he can and cant do for us. it may carry more weight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa is a modern day full back. Strong, loads of pace and can attack and defend. Not only is he a right back, he’s also way better than Palmer (who is performing well himself at the moment).

shezzas left peg Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Well if you listen n to or read the interviews with the lad, he mentions seeing himself as a cb rather than a fullback and is where he wants to play personally. For my thinking if we can't sign Hector he's going to be used predominantly as a cb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 He's an absolute tank I'd let him play where he wants 1 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Palmer has been doing very well but when Iorfa came on I thought he added another dimension to our play today. He’s like an upgrade on Reda Johnson, he’s fast, powerful, looked solid defensively and can run at players. Going forward is quite like to see Palmer on the right of midfield with Iorfa at rightback. Also if you think back to when we were playing JJ and Antonio up front, for goal kicks we used to put Reda up front, paint Helan slotting back into left back just for the goal kick to give us more height and we could do this with Iorfa with Palmer covering at rightback just to give us another option in attack.

Joking apart , some similarities with Carlton although obviously not at the same level. Carlton could play centre half with his slippers on but it wasted his athletic ability. Similarly with Iorfa, why play him centre half when he gives the impression he could swashbuckle forward from fullback and create havoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewswfc Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I ain't joking. I'd give him a go int middle of the park..... ball winning and space closing legs.. . Palmer came to us from wba as mainly a CB who could play midfield and look what happened 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think though we will see him play mostly at right back, Palmer possibly moved further forward. Hope not. Palmer looked lost further forward; excellent today at the back.

Although Palmer was excellent at right back I thought he worked well with Iorfa on that right hand side too. He certainly didn’t look lost there.

RUMBELOWS91 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Who knows where he'll end up, but a team with Iorfa, Hector, Lees, Hutch, Fletcher and Joao in it is going to be a threat at set pieces if we can get the delivery right. Suddenly we have some athletes too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 he did ok when he came on …….I didn't see anything to suggest that he's a better centre back then lees though . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
