Supersiggi2 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Looks mentally and/or physically shot. Poor for their goal. Numerous other times yesterday where he did the basics very wrong and didn't seem to be bothered to work back to try and rectify his error. Mind you, can't be easy in a back 3 with Palmer and Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is better next to hutch, same way that loovens made Tom lees Would've said the same but with a few games under his belt Dunkkey has started to look more composed to me. I'm any case, Hutch is now, erm, a midfielder again... and erm, Johnson a central defender... apparently Just wish that Moore would set us up reasonably consistently putting square pegs in square holes and round pegs in round 'uns. All this tw atting about is making some decent players look useless. They must be pi ssed off themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 He’s had several different CH partners & several formations to deal with so I’m cutting him some slack. Must be difficult knowing you have a left winger playing CH next to you. He’s probably having to concentrate twice as hard because he’s probably expecting mistakes from his colleagues. That must be mentally taxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Iorfa looked good with Hutch next to him. Since then, he has been very poor. Do you know what, I’ve got a great idea; once Hutch is fit which should be next week, why don’t we go with a back 4 and play Hunt right back, Iorfa and hutch at centre halves and Palmer left back. I know it’s revolutionary but maybe this will work ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonowl Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Sorry no way should our settled back four contain a right footed left back!, nothing against Palmer but a settled back four has to be balanced.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunny1968 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 He was obviously carrying an injury yesterday. He has different partners every game. The manager needs to get his act together and play a settled team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdial Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Sounds like he’s look great alongside hutch but when we’ve messed about playing a 5 he’s look crap alongside midfielders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 At least he made a couple of forward runs yesterday, albeit a bit shaky, but its pointless saying "He is better alongside hutch" Cos thats simply never going to be an option for a lot of the season...Hutch is by far the better footballer, but so bloody injury prone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I still think he’s best suited to being a RB. Due to his height & pace he gets moved to CB but I thought he was brilliant at RB under Bruce. Reminds me a little of Reda Johnson in which he was always a shaky CB but a very good LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got the hype about him Yes agree he has been over hyped by a lot of fans. Good player on the whole though; powerful, fast and a good tackler. Not commanding in the air though for a CB.

He was decent yesterday and took the opportunity to break forward on a few occasions to get us going. Other games he's been below par based on his previous high standards but he's had lot of time out injured and isn't helped by so many changes at the back.

trev Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 His confidence is low that's all. He never has been a ball playing defender and he is being forced to do it. He can step out with the ball OK into space but anything more than an easy 20 yard pass and he's giving it away. Which is frankly astonishing for a professional footballer. But he is what he is. He needs a proper leader beside him who can pass a bit and who talks to him. Basically Hutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 17 hours ago, hirstyboywonder said: He then compounded his error by going to ground after BPF had made the save, with a non-existent injury, other than going down with embarrassment, resulting in the physio coming on so he had to go off, leaving us defending the corner with no central defenders. He just looks too casual at times. It can't be easy having to play alongside a right midfielder and a full-back in a back-3 but if anything that should make him more alert to danger. Watch it closely, it looks like he goes over on his ankle or summat. Definitely landed on his foot oddly. Having said that he's not the player he was. I hope he finds form again, at the moment he looks like a fish out of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He jogged back, showing no signs of discomfort, went down, got treatment and showed no more signs of discomfort during the game. He could certainly have helped defend the corner first then got treatment if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different CB partner every week. Asking him to play out from his own 6 yard box. The best defences always have a settled partnership no matter what league your in. Spot on!
