Last 2 games he has done a job and he is the future for that position. Needs to be backed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 games he has done a job and he is the future for that position. Needs to be backed. I don’t expect him to be perfect - or any player - but he was poor in the first game. Certainly below the performance I’d expect at this level. Recency bias is so strong at the moment due to that outstanding save against Stoke. For me he hasn’t done enough to claim the number one shirt. Edited October 24, 2019 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Rider Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 3 hours ago, Stokey said: His weakness imo is he is prone to just switching off at key moments every now and then. Worse than that is the fact he is totally uncomfortable with the ball at his feet and can’t wait to get rid of it. We need a good measured passer behind Harris to deliver passes that will give him the time and space to open teams up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 A couple of steady games and you all think fox is good enough. I'm sticking to my view that he is not championship standard. I am however delighted he has improved. If he gets a new contract in the summer I'd be shocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two reasons He kicked it towards Fletcher early on but he wasn’t winning many. As Harris ain’t going to win many Reach is the only other option. Also it’s a common tactic to clear the ball wide rather than centrally. Lose a header in the centre and there is a good chance it is coming straight back at you. Lose a header out wide , there is a good chance it will go out of play and you end up with an attacking throw in . Of course we aren’t very good at throw ins but at least we are in their half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s improved to a 7 out of 10 player and been pretty consistent if not brilliant. I remember Lewis Buxton being lambasted for years before turning into one of our best servants.

McRightSide Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Fletcher should just start a little wider, he could even swap with Reach when we have a goal kick...it’s not uncommon for a forward to pair up with a fullback Weird that we rely on Reach...

Of course we aren’t very good at throw ins but at least we are in their half By that logic, winning a header out wide is more likely to go out for a throw in to the opposition than it is if we win one in the centre. Tbh it comes down to who wins the second balls rather than the initial header as it’s pretty difficult to accurately pick out a man with a flick on when the ball has been in the air for 50 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hooper Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 21 hours ago, Stokey said: His weakness imo is he is prone to just switching off at key moments every now and then. I'd say his weakness is his footballing ability. (That does sound alot more harsh than i wanted it to) What i mean by this is, he's a steady lower end championship/high end league 1 player. He will try and give his all every game, but he won't ever take a man on or go on a mazey attacking run, because he doesn't have it in his locker. If he plays well, he can have a steady game and put a few good tackles in. That's just his level. No point in booing him for it, it's not his fault, he definitely gives it his all.

Keepers like other players make mistakes. In terms of consistency this season Dawson has been steadier than Westwood. Aside from positioning for the Cardiff free kick not sure Dawson has done too much wrong. Westwood has cost us a few points more than Cammy has this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
