Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Whilst Tavernier and Halliday have understandably had a lot of praise since joining, this man shouldn't be forgotten about. Withdrawn with half an hour to go due to his importance to the team no doubt. Though he may have missed a few chances in previous games his endeavour, touch and ability to hold the ball up and bring others into the game is superb. There's been plenty of times already when he's used step overs and pace to take on defenders out wide and beaten them, not to mention his passing ability which is second to none in our team. The steal from Wigan for both players is growing week by week, and the importance of both players will not dwindle. A goal scoring machine I hope he will become, but his real importance lies outwit that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,610 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I like him works hard and does really well when he comes in from the right,was unlucky today with his shot that hit the bar. Noticed at the end of the game he had ice on his right calf maybe just precautionary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,788 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 People keep talking about the number of chances he has missed but he's still scored 3 goals in 4 games, it's not like he's still searching for his first goal for us and nothing is going for him.I don't think he's going to become a prolific scorer for us and he'll finish with somewhere between 15-18 goals but it's not a concern to me becuase his overall ability will almost act as a counterbalance to the fact that he probably won't score 20-25 goals.

Bobby Hume 13,073 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Good player, the goals will come though and as said above, perhaps not as many as we would expect, but his all round footballing skills make him one the opposition have to watch carefully, this in turn leaves space for others in our team to take advantage of this, so all in all he will be a valuable player for us.

Trooblue 1,973 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Huge difference having a front man who can control difficult balls, hold them up and then either run at pace at the opposition or make a decent pass. He's a class act. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWTC 2,247 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Superb player, reads the game well, makes clever runs, powerful, great touch. All the potential there to be a really good player for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinAndrews 80 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 He's a really classy player. Works hard and has quality on the ball. Seeing him in the flesh, you appreciate what he does even more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes to muck in and will probably create as many as he scores. 15-18 is good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixonRFC 1,333 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 He'll be the first name on the team sheet when we play the better teams in the Country in the Cups but I think his lack of goals against tge weaker sides will have us pulling our hair out, his energy and touch and balance is fantastic though.

allcinaye 336 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I like the big guy, even when he is caught in possession, which isn't often, he always attempts to makes amends by rushing back to regain possession again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Great footballer and gives everything he has, but he isn't a front man much prefer when he's out on the right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hit the nail on the head for me. We have our star guys like Tarvernier, Waghorn etc who the opposition will try to mark out of play but we've playing as such a cohesive unit, a TEAM, now that we're always dangerous. Long may it continue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
