graeme_4 37,543 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Thought he was thrown about like an empty jersey for the first half, but then that assist in the second half was brilliant. Should only be used centrally IMO. theiconicman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old No7. 845 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 A few sloppy passes and touches in the 1st half. What I seen in the 2nd half he was starting to pull together a few combinations especially the play in the box around the 50/55 minute when i'm sure it was Dessers should have had a shot rather than try and play it back. Missed the pass for the 2nd goal and the actual goal I had to leave to catch a flight which is now delayed!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JograBear 1,082 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Awful first half. Improved second half but still not good enough. Hopefully he can get back to the form we know he can achieve. Rangers_no1 and BlueAvenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik2402 1,584 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 He was shocking first half. Was a moment in the first half when he got pushed off the ball again and he turned and was moaning at the referee despite the ball being 5 yards away from him. Improved in the second half and his assist for the second showed what he can do. MacBoyd and JograBear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arfield Salute 28 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Totally disagree with the opinion he was shocking or awful in the first half. There was room for improvement and he stayed on the ground for a little too long a couple of times, but he was constantly involved in a lot of our play. A few clumsy touches but he has technical ability and a footballing brain that most of the others in our current squad don’t have. We need to be trying to play to his strengths and get the most out of him. I also think our style of play in general does not help our creative players and strikers to flourish. Our midfielders and full backs could do a better job of getting the ball to the likes of Cantwell, Lawrence, McCausland etc., in dangerous areas. Too often I feel we look to go out wide away from the goal rather than trying to penetrate through the middle like we did for the second goal. Even when the wingers get it, very rarely are they attacking the full back and getting to the byline or driving into the box.

Popular Post Bakbear 3,586 Posted December 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2023 What I really love about Cantwell getting two assists today is that it suggest that the manager doesn’t let his ego cloud his judgement and is willing to listen and adapt That was a big concern I had from Thursday JCDBigBear, MacBoyd, Bad Robot and 11 others 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 10,012 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Did more in that in the time he was on the pitch, than what Lammers has done all season. Noticeably improved in the second half when he was much further up the pitch than the first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 55,345 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 He was too eager to get touches that he was straying into areas that a 10 shouldn't, that had no impact on the opposition. He improved on that as the game went on and got his rewards with goal contributions. That's his position, only a fool would move him from there for Lammers.

Played in his position and played well. He is our best creative player by a long way. Have to add that Butland had one outstanding save and I have to give him credit for it as it probably stopped a melt-down at that point in the game.

Bad Robot 21,513 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I thought he had a brilliant period in the 2nd half which was the Todd from last season.

Bad Robot 21,513 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 He needs to learn that his diving has consequences and that showed today when possibly the ref should have gave him a couple but he never got them. scottyscott1963 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayboleLoyal_atb 4,052 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Play him in the 10 it’s not rocket science. Also think it’s good management from Clement he could easily have dropped him and had a big media circus round about it but am hoping they’ve just had a talk and straighten everything out. Had the fear that Cantwell was going to be forced out the door which would be madness in our current financial situation.
