Ash Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 He was fairly poor tonight. Gave the ball away a lot and struggled to create much. Nice ball through for the goal which was his only real contribution of the game. What has surprised me about him is that he isn't as quick as he was made out to be when we signed him. Not sure if he's carrying a knock or not but he looks a little sluggish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've liked him a lot. Still an unknown quality in the PL for me, but he can only play what's in front of him, and he's been brill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not calling him shite or anything, just think that people need to be careful not to big him up too much as seems to be happening at the minute. It wasn't exactly a hard ball for him to make either, was it? He's done a decent job since he joined the club as he's added a lot more balance to the side but he hasn't really stood out that much for me, not as much as some people have made out anyway. For the praise he's getting I'd like to see him produce more than he has and on a consistent basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye I know, I'm just saying it says a lot for the lad that even on a bad night he still has enough to conjure one decent pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 He also slid Carroll in for the other main goalscoring chance last night. He loves the outside of his right boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 He's doing well this season but looking forward to next season and likely promotion I can't see him making the step up. Hope he does, his pace would be useful on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Honestly think he's one of the best signings we've made in a long time, just love watching him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Honestly think he's one of the best signings we've made in a long time, just love watching him play. Refreshing. Lots of energy, tries to attack, if something isn't work he'll try something else. Isn't afraid to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 He's doing well this season but looking forward to next season and likely promotion I can't see him making the step up. Hope he does, his pace would be useful on the counter. The only time he looked Prem quality was at Palace years ago. Failed at Spurs, Villa & Pompey since then... maybe it will be different if he carries on getting regular football with you but I doubt it personally.

He's going to be very good for us next year mark my words. He was brilliant in the prem for Palace and he was just a kid then. The Tottenham move was derailed by injury, which he struggled to regain his confidence and form from, while being loaned out to all and sundry. The guys natural talent is no less than the likes of Lennon and Dyer. I would even argue he delivers an end product more consistently than the two of them. I remember saying he was a better winger than Milner when he was available and eventually joined Villa. I thought we should have gone for him back then. I will ultimately be proved right next season.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Honestly think he's one of the best signings we've made in a long time, just love watching him play. He's anything but one-dimensional, which is what I ignorantly thought before we signed him. He can go outside his man or cut in, he can see a pass and he has a decent shot as well. Good signing, fingers crossed for him next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Enforcer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The important thing for Routledge next year is that he will be first choice and be in the team every week. He has every opportunity to prove what he can do next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm on the fence, he could do well next season or he could flop. He needs someone better behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
