foxesfan69 Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 Did anyone else who went to the game think Stearman played really well? OK i know it's only Bury but he had an outstanding game, STEARMAN FOR ENGLAND!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossporterlc Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 i didn't see him last night but everytime i have seen him i have been impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 Yeh, he played a good game, I think he is destined for big things. He showed great skills on the ball and did brillaint to win the penalty. And when he gets caught out of play he has the pace and determination to chase back and win it. He puts in great solid tackles and i hope he stays with us for more years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-man Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 Yeah he played awesomely last night, he got caught out a few times on the ball or with passes behind him, but like Filbertway sauid, he chased back. He's skillfull and he will only get better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 May I be so bold as to say it was his best game ive seen him play in a Leicester City first team shirt. He was class last night. Well done Richard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hullfox Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 Right, time to piss on the bonfire a bit. How can he have played awesome but been caught on the ball a few times? I stated in another thread that I thought he played very well going forward but I think he needs to tighten up his defending. We were playing a poor opposition last night who were down to 10 men for most of the second half. Better teams would have exploited us more down the flanks. Chasing back is all well and good but he wouldn't have to do it if he didn't get caught on the ball or out of position. He has great potential, I hope that he realises it.

Thracian Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 Sounded like a cracking display on the radio. Not only crisp and effective in defence but found time to score a goal and to be involved for the penalty. It's a pleasant sort of headache for CL. Maybury is an excellent player but I'd still play Stearman right back. I may be proved wrong but Gilbert seems like the major weakness in defence (not considering the goalkeeper) and I am quite sure Maybury could fill that roll until the "emerging" Gilbert develops into a genuine first team candidate.

Taking that into consideration, he seems to be very competent on the flank. Great to hear that he has good attacking tendencies, which can't be expected of a centreback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 He and Maybury seem to be defenders who carry a goal threat, probably the only serious threat. As I've said, the more potential goals we have in non-striker positions the better. I'm aware that Stearman is a central defender but, as CL says, he's probably not quite strong enough for that responsibility. Playing Maybury left side instead of Gilbert would hopefully stop us being outflanked so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 24 August 2005 Share Posted 24 August 2005 I would like to see a back four of from right to left stearman johansson mccarthy/gerrbrand maybury I would say that is our strongest possible choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bald reynard Posted 25 August 2005 Share Posted 25 August 2005 I agree with all who've said Stearman is a great prospect and deserves his 1st team place - at Right Back. But I do have doubts about Maybury at Left Back. Whenever I've seen him play in that position, he's looked very shaky - and he's got no left foot at all. We've got a problem at Left back - Gilbert hasn't got the skills (yet ?). I haven't seen Sheehan - could he do it now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadandcheese Posted 25 August 2005 Share Posted 25 August 2005 I've always thought that Maybury has been caught out far too many times when playing on the left. e.g. West Ham last year. Gilbert may improve and settle in to the team after a few games. Failing that, is Sheehan still sniffing around the first team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if Sheehan's a sensible option?. He seems to have been in teams that have lost a bit heavily but that might have been coincidental.

Louise Posted 25 August 2005 Share Posted 25 August 2005 I've only seen Sheehan play once so I couldn't say whether he consistantly plays well, but when I saw him against Inter Milan I thought he was one of our best players. He's got a bit of pace and seems to like getting forward. I was hoping he'd be more involved in the start of the season but maybe Levein has gone off him a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
