gurujuan Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Do posters feel he can operate as a defensive midfielder, or do we see him operating further forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookowl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 According to a mate who's a QPR fan he rated him as a box to box midfielder but also said he'd suffered a lot from injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 One of the reasons I started this thread, and the Reach one, is because I was wondering if people saw them as integral pieces of the team, if fit of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do a bit of both in terms of defensive and attacking midfield play but I think it would be a bit of a waste to play him in a holding role, he has only scored twice this season but hasn't played that many games from the start, probably better suited to playing in a midfield 3.

Inspector Lestrade Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Not seen him have more than a decent game yet. Seems to disappear for long spells and doesn't take the game by the scruff of the neck. Was quite encouraged by the reports of him when we first signed him but not lived up to them. Needs to up his game and input for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewsburyowl58 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 He’s never been fully fit and settled with us as yet , he looks decent and should get a run in the team , if he can stay fit that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Fitness has obviously been an issue, but hopefully he can resolve those issues. He does seem to have the tools to be able to do a bit of everything That will be useful if the manager persists on playing 4-4-2 However, that then throws up question marks around Bannan. Pairing those two as our midfield engine room would leave us really vulnerable to counter attacks All right if we were on top, but not much good when we don’t have the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The little he has played for us he has looked a very decent player. Really hope he comes back in to the team ASAP, not only because I really rate him but also it should mean the awful Pessy isn’t starting for us.

Luongo didn't play in 2 of our 3 defeats over the festive period and hasn't featured since being incorrectly sent off in the Blackburn hammering. Then again, Odubajo is derided by many but the record with him in the team compared to when he hasn't played is also significantly different.

I’m sure there are other factors, but I take your point. If both are fit, would you say they should be starters? What concerns me is, if they play, and Fox and Fletcher re-sign, realistically there won’t be many change to the actual starting eleven next season. Probably only 2 positions available, a striker to play alongside and another wide player, if we stick with 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Looks like he’s one who can play in a midfield 2. Can do a bit of everything. Decent player. I don’t see him as a defensive midfielder in a 3 tho. We need to bring in a couple in central midfield in the summer given Lee, Joey and Hutch are likely to leave.

Holmowl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I think he looks really decent paying either role. Until this season his fitness had been excellent. Let’s hope his injury troubles are over cos we looked a better team when he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we are short on numbers in midfield, but if we only play with a 2, a couple of back up players should suffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who is powerful to give us another option. Edited May 27, 2020 by Bouncing Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
