ithuriel Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Once he is upto speed with this league i think he will do well, does he really have the right strike partner though?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseBreath Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Far too early to judge him obviously, but I did suspect he would be a bit of a flop. The difference between non-league and championship promotion form is gigantic. That people are describing him as hard working is a bit of a worry - is that all Pearson saw in him, just another easy to manage hard working yes man? The manager needs to get his priorities straight and soon, his job is to develop a team that will win games, not one that will give him the least headaches.

seenitall Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 If so, you must trust in the same manager that has subbed off Beckford at half time on countless occasions now. Why would Pearson keep Beckford on over Vardy if he felt the former was the better player? I reckon Vardy and Nuge will start Saturday. I fear for Beckford to be honest. I don't think the killer ball to play to his only real strength is gonna be coming often enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say he is a bit of a flop, I said I suspected he would be, as in before the season started I thought he wouldn't be good enough. Whether he is or not remains to be seen, but my suspicion that he will flop hasn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I honestly can't believe this thread, our only striker to score in a competitive game so far, someone who has looked decent to me in the games I have seen him, and now he's written off seemingly because of a couple of misses yesterday.

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 If he had, the people that don't want him playing would still find a reason for him to go. "He shaves his own hair! GET RID." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 To me at the moment he looks like the player a lot of our fans have been screaming for.... Works his nuts off.... and that seems to keep most here happy (unless it's Dyer we are speaking about) He looks like Mackail-Smith, and might get the odd goal through sheer hard work, but prolific at this level? Sorry to say I cant see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samstown92 Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Vardy looks okay, he makes a lot of runs and puts in a lot of effort but agree with what most are saying that he should be played as a wide man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Imo he is too nervous, keeps looking to pass when he should be thinking about shooting. Wasn't overly surprised to see him miss his only attempt of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brockmyster Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 You can see hes come from non-league due to struggling with physicality at times and also his first touch, however give him time im sure he will get use to the demands of the championship. He seems to find himself in good positions and i think it will only be a matter of time before he scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be a bit more worried if he was showing a lack of effort and people describing him as lazy. As for being a "Yes Man," what sort of players do we want then? Players to disrupt the harmony of the squad? Non-league to Championship is a leap but its not an impossible step to make or to succeed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-league to Championship is a leap but its not an impossible step to make or to succeed in. Harmony is less important than winning games. I don't care if we've got a few arrogant twirps in the squad as long as we're winning games. My biggest fear about Pearson has for a long time been about how he seems to sacrifice quality in favour of players who are easy to manage. Vardy might just turn out to be a prime example of that.

leicesterisme Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I like the look of what I've seen so far, last night he was very busy and involved in a lot of things we did well. His chance was a bit of a shocker to be fair, he had the whole goal to aim at and he headed straight into the keepers arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I still think he has the potential to come on well. He might be the type of striker where one goal results in more goals. I would like to see him wide left against Blackburn on Saturday (as I said earlier, in the 4-2-3-1 formation), because his work rate is good. He can take on players and make assists, like against Peterborough on Saturday. Plus, I've heard a few of his goals for Fleetwood came while he was in this position: Knockaert -- Marshall -- Vardy Nugent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Against Peterborough I thought he was snatching at shots, never looked like having the technique or composure to take his chances. I don't think that's necessarily an inherent lack of ability though, that could well be a bit of stage fright, especially given his ball control otherwise seemed sound.

MrSpaM Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Pearson must see somthing in him to start him ahead of Nuge, and lets be honest, hes got a better idea about our players technical ability than anybody on here has. Vardy will come good, the people who are moaning about him are the same people who claim our defence is terrible because we've conceeded twice in three games. Nobody was under the impression he'd be banging them in from the off when we signed him, the instant success brigade need to wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
