To be fair if he smashes it there over 3 months he may well get a higher loan for the rest of the season. He looks like he could be a gem in the future.
I really like him. We continually miss a big trick with him in that at Orient he was an inverted left winger and he really shone in that position, albeit a league down. We never put him down the left here so perhaps we never really get the best out of him?
You kind of want a narrow 3 playing behind Frey at the moment with
Madsen (right side) Dembele (middle) and Saito (left side) but that's unbalanced because Madsen isn't the quickest?
But what happens when chair returns? I agree that Dembele needs to play down the middle.
I like Anderson but when you have an ideal match play idea to play the ball quickly through the line so you have pace running at the opposition (not happening at the moment) then it isn't clear where either Madsen or Anderson sit, unless they play alongside one of Colback or Field as a much deeper playmaker?
Very impressed with Esse for them. Only 19 and one of their academy players. Very assured on the ball.
As for us we have bags of pace (for once) with Dembele, Saito and Smyth and we need to use that pace more directly. A fit Frey is also a hell of a lot quicker than he was but essentially if you have the kind of pace we have now you need to deploy it a lot more directly.
Yes, I agree I think Uysk is on a level of his own but Dobois in the mood he was in last night could cause him some troubles. I like AJ, he's always very good in interviews and does a lot of good things in the community.
Sometimes he gets into a ring, is really focussed, goes to work and dispatches what's in front of him, but then he also often comes out, like last night, and looks ragged and there for the taking. You don't know which AJ you are going to get. He's the boxing equivalent of QPR really!
Dubois has just absolutely destroyed AJ. Not sure what was up with AJ tonight? He didn't seem to have any confidence. Dubois completely pulverised him and is a very serious contender for anyone. Not sure where AJ goes from here but he just wasn't at it. Dubois is the real deal though.
I agree and think this is a team trying to gel together - and without it's best player. The fact that we aren't losing games and capable of getting back into games from a losing position is a step forward. I think Marti wants to see the team play with more freedom but at the moment they are still trying to find a rhythm. He is obviously seeing more of that on the training pitch than on match day at the moment but I take huge encouragement that the team is already hard to beat and doesn't really lose often. A good base to grow from. I also agree that the fans expectations are way too high. This season is about being a comfortable mis table team and pushing on from there if we can.
He's been excellent. Seems to have a style similar to Peter Schmeichel. He's extremely fast off his line and really spreads himself in that Schmeichel fashion. That save at the end was absolutely superb.
'It was noticeable our goal came from a more intuitive move with Cook passing forward, Dembele carrying the ball forward and Frey applying the finish, and all done at speed.'
I think Marti wants a lot more of that and he's trying to get the team to take the handbrake off. Normally it is the manager putting the handbrake on. Not in this case though.
Not a happy bunny. Too slow. Too few chances created.
Thankfully seeing what a lot of fans are and he ain't happy. A week to get them fired up again but at least we are hard to beat, which is important and the wins will come, especially with Dembele rolling his socks down to do his best Dave Thomas impression.
