Thoughts on Aribo?

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,856]

Playing as a winger/wideman.

I still thought his final pass was wasteful on a few occasions but his skills and quick feet meant he was a constant threat until he tired towards the end. He’s certainly more effective when he’s given freedom to play further up the park than he is when he plays deeper in a midfield three.

Do you think we should keep using him out there rather than in a central position where it’s harder to get away with drifting in and out games or is it just a stop gap until Jones is fit or we sign somebody else in January?

Thought he was excellent in the first half then just had loads of shite high balls launched his direction second half and couldn’t get into the game 

Puts himself about far more than people give him credit for as well 

[bluenoz 30,915]

I thought he was outstanding tonight. Not only skill wise but ran himself into the ground. His best game perhaps.

[Escobar 13,676]

Pish.

[SRAO 127]

He suits the position more. He had a few nice flicks that if he had the confidence to shoot could have done something.

Aribo has a lot of potential and his decision making will mature over time , having him out wide means he has more time to develop. He is one that we will see 4 years from now dominating backlines. Just gotta be patient,

[J_RFC87 761]

He's be a nightmare to play against at 5 a side 

Great feet, but still not sure what his best position is 

[BlueThunder 8,454]

You Bugger, I just made a thread.... 🤣

[ForeverAndEver 71,566]

Brilliant first half, not so good in the second

[G.E.C. 18,804]

Needs to work on his right foot 

[Bristol loyal 6,248]

Looked much better playing on the right, would give him a few games there and see if the more he plays in that position the better his final ball gets.

[AGC123 1,190]

Jones has still to come into it. But as he’s our player keep firing him in. I can fully get behind bedding Aribo in. But that’s stamps the reason why ojo gets a hard time. Not our player not our responsibility.

He has it, just needs to believe in himself a bit more

Agreed, let him settle in that position and he can only improve.

[tannerall 25,935]

Jury still out. Think there's a player in there, but not sure about his physical robustness and awareness. 

Keeper till end of season, and we'll see if he can improve his lack of toughness and focus by then. 

[RS4_wul 4,123]

Not sure where he should play as unlike most on here I can admit I'm not a tactical genius 

What I do know is that the boy has bags of talent, he's so quick with his feet in and around the box and I believe he will be a huge player for us some time very soon.

[ChampionsAgain 1,373]

Thought he was class tonight, I think he would work well just behind the striker.

[Laudrupsleftfoot 10,944]

Hasn't he said he sees his best position as a box to box midfielder? He'll do a job for us further forward or where he played tonight but in the longer term I'd imagine centre midfield is where he wants to play. 

[LochendBilly 8,413]

Great player but far from the finished article, he can sure kill the ball!

[BlueKnight87 17,302]

Played well tonight and seen some good stuff. 

But I still fell he is better playing through the midfield than the right wing.

Just behind the striker in an advanced midfield role is were I think we'll see him at his best. 

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510]

Never a winger.

[Cedrick 8,048]

Undoubtedly talented , won’t fancy Sunday though so what’s the point , hopefully that will come like Barisic 

[STEPPS BOY 74,032]

Think he’s going to be a success at us but at moment a Square peg in a round hole.

 

[slimjim1690 4,534]

Can't see him as a winger even though he was excellent in the 1st half tonight, in saying that he is consistently inconsistent so maybe he would make it as a winger

[Prso's headband 35,511]

Could’ve had at least 5 shots at goal and chose to play the pass everytime. 

If you want to play on the wing, left footed have a fucking dig son. 

My absolute pet hate of any player is not having a dig man, worst case scenario you miss big deal. 

Shot on target, keeper fumble, in off the post, rebound etc anything can happen. 

[Broxi 11,504]

You could tell he's not a winger, looked a little bit scared to run past players one on one but I thought he had a great first half overall. Needs to find his confidence to take shots on though because we know he's capable.
