jonnyowl Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think he should have started last night. I would have also put Borner in midfield to try and free Bannan and FDB to go forward a bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't get in at centre half cause of his lack of pace so to say that is mind boggling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony being that though his favourite put-down is to accuse everyone else of being a Blade, in so far as his relentless hate of our fans goes, he's actually indistinguishable from most Blades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 He had odd moment yesterday. The bit to fashion soace in the corner was a glimpse of his ability, a good prospect and athlete, needs better quality on the ball to help him impact games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toooldforthis Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 He’d play best as a free role just off the striker. Stay along the 18yd line don’t wander too wide. Reach had a decent 1st half last night but I’d have swapped him early 2nd half for this guy just behind the strikers. If he sees his opportunity to put himself on the map he can step up and shine. If not, he’ll go nowhere like so many other young talents. It’s all in his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Chuffing hell he’s played just a handful of professional games and looked bright in the cup game, give the lad a break. Jesus christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he pissed off at not making it at Man City or a player that’s abit arrogant? Even his signing on photos he looked as miserable as sin. Hope he goes on to prove me wrong Got to agree with this. When he has the ball or challenging for it he looks really good but most of the time he looks like he can’t be arsed and doesn’t want to be out there. I was watching some of his off the ball work last night and he didn’t seem up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmb Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 19 year old - First professional season - Playing in one of the most competitive leagues - Playing in a team facing the difficult task of starting on -12 - Joined a team that has been rebuilt Yeah hard to see why he's not ripping the league a new arseh*le. The lad has clearly got potential, show a little patience. People wonder why we don't develop young talent? It might be down to our fans having ridiculous expectations and not allowing for time to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've obviously not seen all our games this season, he's impressed me in previous matches, last night was a bit of a tough call, perhaps should have started over Hunt.

Plenty of lazy players at Wednesday over the years both black and white. Lets not throw the race card in there !! Personally so far I dont think he looks lazy he just looks like a passenger. The game against QPR he was very quiet in the first half then started to get into his groove when he was taken off. He is 19 so he needs time.

Ellis Rimmer Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think it's too early to say he's lazy, seems more of an issue with whether he actually has the qualities of a championship player to me but it's too early to be having any strong opinions as of yet. He's a developmental player at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone judges people on their skin colour. The I’m offended on your behalf brigade . It’s stirring and comments like his that are the reason for racial trouble .

flash Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 In an ideal world he’d be loaned out to league 1 this season however as we know we’re particularly short in CM with back-ups so that won’t happen. He’s young, raw but you can see there’s a player in there so we need to be patient as people have said. Let’s not forget we played a really good team last night too - hopefully he’ll get more involved and therefore confident in the games against lesser teams.
