Ashley Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 How many CLEAN SHEETS is that with him now at left back.
VLC86 Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 No idea but he did look better than Konch has in recent weeks
DennisNedry Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 I've never liked him playing there before but today he was assured and solid. BUT Ipswich were utter shite and never really attacked with any real purpose, pace or movement. Let's see how he does in the next few games.
asasas Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Looks very solid and poses a real attacking threat as well, if he keeps it up I wouldn't be surprised if he kept konch out the team
Ashley Posted 22 February 2014 Author Posted 22 February 2014 3-0 win today. 3-0 away at Watford 1-0 home to Watford (Play-Off) Anyone think of anymore?
TJB-fox Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Would play him for the upcoming home games-Charlton, Blackpool, Yeovil etc purely because he offers something different going forward that Konch cant. However, id probably play Miquel at Barnsley because of their aerial power with Proschwitz and O'Grady. In fact id be tempted to do what we did at Millwall and play four centre backs at the back (Liam, Wes, Was, Ignasi) then bring Hammond, King and Taylor-Fletcher in. Worked wonders at Millwall so could be a possibility, what with Barnsleys long ball game
cc_star Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 A full back is a key attacking player, even more so in the Prem where a good FB is basically a winger If we go up, we're surely not going to be able to play 2 up top often, or even at all. This means we won't have 2 in the middle most likely over-ran so there's no place for 2 wingers & it's this that makes attacking, pacey fullbacks critical. Keep playing Schlupp, keep him learning & then weigh up situation in summer
kingfox Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Can't believe people actually get nervous with him at left-back. I admit I don't go to away games, but everytime he has played at home at left-back, he has always impressed me. He puts in very comfortable performances, and he is a great attacking threat purely because of his pace, something which Konchesky lacks. He played Kasper into trouble a couple of times today, but apart from that he was decent again.
lgfualol Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 If he plays this well for the next two games, Konch is gonna have a tough time getting back in.
DennisNedry Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 I've never questioned that he can be dangerous going forward, but he is usually also dodgy defensively. Today he was good, but as I said above Ipswich were dreadful so he wasn't really tested at all. Better teams will target him, especially in the air.
FrankieADZ Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 cant fault him whenever he's played at LB imo....there was that one iffy back pass in the 2nd half but even then....he looks....well a natural at LB. Sorry Jeff.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 He was close to motm for me today, excellent performance, just edged out by JV's outstanding performance! COYB
Dickov22 Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 The management see him as a left back. I honestly think if he accepts this fact and works hard, he will make the position his own. Was great today
Ashley Posted 22 February 2014 Author Posted 22 February 2014 Are you not in N1 anymore Ashley? Turned up late today mate I was there!
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Konchesky's been one of our most dependable performers this season. I'd have him straight back in when he's back.
Narborough_fox Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 3-0 win today. 3-0 away at Watford 1-0 home to Watford (Play-Off) Anyone think of anymore? Both last year... 6-0 Ipswich. 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday (A). Came on after 40 minutes in the 0-0 draw against Bolton last year as well.
Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 I wouldn't hesitate in saying that he put in the best left-back performance of the season today. Very comfortable on the ball and always perfectly positioned when defending. I think he gave the ball away once in the whole game. Very pleased for him and if he has a good run while Konch is away then I can't see why Konch should get his place back automatically.
Lukey Boi Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 In a nutshell: MUCH BETTER THAN KONCHESKY Konchesky's been one of our most dependable performers this season. I'd have him straight back in when he's back. What hope has humanity got
Deucalion Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 He was close to motm for me today, excellent performance, just edged out by JV's outstanding performance! COYB Never been a huge fan of Schlupp before today, but totally agree with the above. If it wasn't for the heroics of Vardy, Schlupp would've been MoM.
teblin Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 I can't really recall a game when he played really well as a striker. But there has been quite a few a a left back. His best position in my opinion. Nige and Sven seem to think so too.
Narborough_fox Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 The only fault I had with him today was that he looked absolutely knackered after 75 minutes, but with game time that fitness will definitely improve.
fleckneymike Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Considering he came in cold, to a position which is not his, he played very well indeed.
