SallyCinnamon Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thought he was good against Everton and again thought he played well today. I’ve been his biggest critic at times, but gave his all yet again today and did the basics superbly. One mistake in the first half where he slipped and they nearly profited, but apart from that a good performance in front of the back four. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I thought he was average for an hour and finished the last 30 well... Probably not surprising since that was when they pushed men on to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Did well. Could tell he had been told to follow Windass wherever he goes. Never let the lad have a kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I thought he was very good today. Allowed bannan to push higher up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I thought he covered a lot of ground then realised half of it was Ilungo, one of them needs to wear different boots 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thought he was a real man out there today. Monk played this one really well. He knew what Wigan are like and that we had to be physical, energetic and own midfield where we have been weak so went with a not very pretty but effective duo of Joey and Luongo to do the dirty work. This allowed Bannan to play in the final third (at last!) instead of sitting in front of the defence. It worked and for a lack of tempo in that first half, we shoud have been out of sight. Monk got this spot on today and Joey did all that was aksed of him and more. Well done, Joey Pelupessy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He’s a decent player to have in the squad. Not a bad option for the odd game and seems he’s well liked in the squad and not one to moan when not playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I thought he did that brilliant thing of not standing out but quietly and effectively going about his business which is often the sign of a good performance for a midfield anchor.

stevie snerklebox Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Joey was excellent. We didn't miss Hutchinson and Joey is far more mobile than Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesowl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 And yet some people shout irrationally for him to be subbed from the 1st minute. Agree thought he did OK. Steady enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Got to say, he played well today. Thought he did well in the holding role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Good to see him getting some credit. Its a squad game and we will need reliable, hard working players like him over the course of a season. Not the best player we've got, but he's always available and never hides, good on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetherivelinowl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 What struck me about the Hull match was that our midfield seemed to lack energy, especially in the second half. For all his failings he certainly has more energy and pace about him than Hutch. I agree he did a lot of good things - blocks, interceptions, tackles but also I think I remember at least 3 occasions where he dawdled on the ball and got caught out. If only his brain was as quick as his legs. Thankfully he wasn't so obviously negative with his passing today unlike in the Jos era where it seemed he wasn't allowed to pass forwards. I'm not convinced he's the answer but I thought the midfield had a better balance today giving Bannan a chance to get much further forward. Bannan could play for us the sort of role that Houlihane (spelling?) used to do so well for Norwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Pelupessy made me eat my words against Everton I thought he was excellent and actually contributed too many times I think he just hold a position as an 11 without actually impacting. Didn’t see the game today but it sounds like he’s followed it up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He had a great game. Was busy and very good positionally . Broke play up and kept it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
