Didn't barge through them, dribbled, yet the commentator says goes back to him using his physicality and being an athletic player. What does that even mean? Did he mean his presence on the ball looks imposing so opposition players don't relish the prospect of getting in his way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JemmoJemoJemmo Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 He has pace, power, height, strength, technique, skill…… And let’s face it he’s been terrible. Last night he was very good and showed what he is capable of. However, he has to back that up and start doing it on a consistent basis. Otherwise he’ll go exactly the same way as two other players that had all the attributes but ultimately achieved nothing - Giles Coke and Craig Rocastle. At the moment he reminds me of them, has all the attributes, gives glimmers of what he’s capable of to get you excited but usually the match just passes him by.

The Dukeries Owl Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 What a game from a young lad short of match fitness to come in and dominate their midfield, they couldn't stop his surging runs or his sheer physical strength. The MOM award will have to go to BB who might be dragging us into the play offs through sheer will power but this lad's contribution last night shouldn't be underestimated.

Those runs from midfield offer a totally different problem for the opposites....compliments the two ',ball players' in there Good to have some variation towards the end of the season....bit of a plan B about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Fantastic last night. Can drift in and out of games too much but if he can get some consistency in his game then there’s a good player in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I thought he’d done ok when he’s played before this season. When he decides to go at the opposition you can’t see them stopping him - feel that he will score soon after a surging run through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
