Hack-Abusi Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Newcastle and Norwich fans gave us a taster of what he was like .. flattered to deceive, poor end product .. Not happening for him right now. Gone right off the boil and yeah I won't be surprised seeing Reach start games in there with Luongo brought in to midfield .. Would give us a much more stronger option when we are defending and pressing in our own half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worksop Wednesday Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 not read through this thread but said before weekend elsewhere he will prove to be a 'showboater', maybe what comes of a £10 million Prem player is a bit light weight and wont or cant do the hard yards like Harris seen to do on occasion, BUT he may well give us something extra on occasion that may prove decisive, eg goal, assist, trick, so not writing him off just accept what he is FF, Reach and others often been criticised for work rate etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 23 hours ago, swfc-dan said: Can't imagine Monk was impressed and we were much better when he was replaced. Reach and Harris to play wide going forward with 2 strikers, and keep him as an impact sub. Problem is, he's a willing runner, he's direct and can carry the ball forward. Adam Reach is also a willing runner. Working hard off the ball, this is why Huddersfield will struggle all season, off the ball they are garbage. My point is, if you replace Murphy with Winnall from the start, you lose alot of pace, Winnall won't drop back and help Bannan like Reach either. So I think Monk is spot on, persist with Murphy, he may come good. Winnall off the bench, as an impact sub, to change the dynamic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 You know a cross is bad when you're sat there thinking: "I would be embarrassed by that." Woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarNigel Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I think going forward we have to have both Harris & Reach as our wingers. Right now Murphy just isn’t doing it & im sick of seeing Reach being wasted through the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I hope the selection of Murphy and playing Reach in the middle was Bullen inspired input and suspect Garry will have seen the light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only poor performer in an otherwise sold display. he has been garbage for past 6 games after scoring with his 1st touch its been all downhill since. that's why he is with us and not playing premier league football with Newcastle ,the lad clearly has the talent ,you don't go to the Etihad and score the goal he did if your not very talented but he needs to buck his ideas up or his next loan move might be the one where his Newcastle pal Aarons has gone the mighty Wycombe .

He needs to put a shift in, he can be forgiven for lacking ability but not effort which was evident on a few occasions when he should have chased the ball backwards towards his own goal instead of just pretending to. He needs to be made aware that there is no hiding place and the only thing he has to do is put 100% in. I'm absolutely certain that GM will have pointed that out to him.

steelerian Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 This thread really annoys me and makes me very very sad in equal measure. If Murphy has all the talent, but neither the motivation or application to make that talent work, then he has no business being in professional football and earning the obscene amounts of money that he quite obviously does as an 8-figure footballer. Disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgraceful. What a ridiculous overreaction to a few middling performances. Maybe he's just not quite as good a footballer as some on here seem to think? Maybe playing regularly in a settled side will bring the best out of him? Okay, he's not set the world on fire during his first half-dozen games for us, but to say he has no business being in professional football and to call him disgraceful is going way over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I think he'd be most useful to us as an impact sub running at a tiring defence.. it's an 18 man game these days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 On 15/09/2019 at 16:52, Beholder said: Has to be one of Murphy or Harris not both in my opinion. And right now, Harris is doin the biz, Murphy not so much. I'd said this prior to nando's ban. Needs to be Harris & reach out wide for me especially in the 4-4-2, as both will track back and help there fullback out. If we go 4-1-2-2-1 /4-3-3 as Bullen had been playing Murphy & Nando. Harris & Murphy are too similar in style and pace, so I'd much prefer to mix it up by playing one of them with someone that offers something different on the opposite wing.

Rogers Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Let’s see how he plays in the next 5-10 games. Remember some dreaming of us signing Aaron’s and he’s now at Wycombe. Hopefully he can turn things around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
