ready1873 3,885 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Verdict so far? I really like the guy. Slotted in well at LB early in the season v Greenock(?) and has continually performed well. Stuck in outside his natural comfort zone today and done well. I have no idea how highly Spurs rate the boy but I reckon he'd be a pretty good squad player for us in years coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he played quite decent today considering he was out of position in a complete new midfield 3. It was QOTS he played left back at, cause he won us a penalty when he got blocked in front of goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,836 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I would like us to sign him in the summer. The boy has the potential to play in the epl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRice1872 105 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think he looked more like a shark in midfield rather than a fish out of water today tbh IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio 1,199 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thought he did well today, considering. Maybe sat a little to deep at times. not his natural position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thought he was decent today.  Broke up a number of plays and reads the game well.  He's only 20 and playing out of his normal position  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechwood bear 559 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I also thought he was decent today. Couple of stray passes but pretty solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP FC 400 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Good player and no problem if he was to join us, but he was struggling in that position today. not his fault and I'm sure as he get more experience then he will be more comfortable.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Was very disciplined in his role, which we haven't had all year. Definitely aided to the clean sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamienM855 413 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 He stopped a couple of potentially dangerous falkirk attacks by using his pace to clear up loose balls. Far more defensively sound in that role than Halliday, but doesn't have anywhere near the same range of passing. He's a good option to have in that position for games where we need a bit more defensive solidity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a little deep when we were in possession but did just fine otherwise. That is good when we have full backs like ours though, Hallidays problem is some times he doesn't play deep enough. If he played deeper, it allows the centre backs to push out a bit behind the full backs, but when Halliday is a bit far up it leaves the centre halfs to cover the full defence. That awareness and positioning will come with game time though, never played there before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipan 580 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Prefer him to Wilson tbh, plays the ball out well and has a bit of a drive about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been true with respect to much of the season, however Andy has a appeared to be coming more used to the system and lying deeper in recent matches. He has appeared to be reading the game better etc. I think we still need a more natural CDM, certainly one who would play the position in a system that Mark Warburton likes it played, but Andy has been doing quite well there of late.

Aye he has been doing decent recently. Sergio Busquets would slot right into this team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,456 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Played really well today. Broke up play constantly and had one bad pass all game. Would be drilling it into him to stay here and sign on. Would be a fantastic addition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Good player for his age. Will have a good career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Won the majority of his battles in the midfield and headers.something we have lacked.i like him and hope he has a cracking career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Would definitely be happy if he signed up. Good player,  and obviously happy to play full back,  DM as well as his preferred CB.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Can see him going back to Spurs in the summer especially with Crooks coming in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,723 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 He did fine yesterday though it was clear at times the role wasn't natural to him. Only MW knows why our CH pairing isn't Ball and Kiernan. Maybe it is simply that he wants to develop the pairing of our own players rather than loanees. Whatever, it's be bemusing as again Wilson was a liability.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
