Dave Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 He's good at getting into forward positions. Missing chances now, but it may come to him if he plays more often on loan or whatever. Aside from that I can't think of anything he's more than basically competent at. We needed Tiote in the side to carry him tonight, in games where we've played him alongside another youngster the midfield has looked way too lightweight and that's because of how little he offers IMO.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah a run of games out on loan would do him good in the Championship. Build up his decision making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thought he huffed and puffed a lot tonight and seemed to get himself into good areas. Don't think he was anywhere near as bad as he is being made out to be. Still think as a team we've outgrown him from when we first bought him. A loan spell in the Championship could do his confidence the world of good as he's still never had a regular run of games since that bad injury.

ATB Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 all he can hope for is to be the new Nolan and that is a player I really don´t like. Well maybe if you are a team fighting to stay in the division (which I don´t hope we have to do again). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Not writing him off yet, thought he was OK tonight, done the dirty side of the game well and worked his socks off but with more composure could have grabbed a couple of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 At least he gets in the positions, that can't really be coached. His finishing and technique can be improved over time but having the knack of getting into good positions for knockdowns and such is just one of those things.

midds Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Still not seen anything in him to suggest he's even playing in the right league. Just offers very, very little in the way of creating and/or scoring chances. He's a passenger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loan spell in the Championship could do his confidence the world of good as he's still never had a regular run of games since that bad injury. I haven't seen anything from him that makes me think he's suddenly going to become a decent player for us. He's got no tricks about him, he doesn't look strong in a challenge, he hasn't got a change of pace and doesn't seem able to carry the ball. I've kept quiet about him because of his injury but this is his third season here and he's yet to make me think he'll ever be capable of doing a good job for our first team. Even though he was injured for most of his first season, he's had over a season to show something and he hasn't. I would much rather have seen a player like Bigirimana start instead of him because at least he shows potential, Gosling doesn't. I can't remember us ever having dominated a midfield when Gosling has been part of it and the comments about him being like Nolan without the goals is a good one.

Guest BooBoo Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 He was brought in for cynical reasons IMO. We thought we were buying an upcoming star on a loophole freebie, who would improve with us and be a valuable asset. As it stands, his market value is probably about 500K.. In a funny way, it serves the club right that he's flopped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Think he did more then Vuckic whom shown to be shit every oportunity at this level. Marveaux hasn't really shone either, but he keeps drawing to that AM spot from his winger position. Gosling got that mentality to allways be in the box for knockdowns/headers, he got a decent shot on him aswell. I for one defo think there is some potential worthwhile developing.

Gosling has already played more first team games for us than Vuckic, we're playing in Europe next week because Vuckic won a game for us with a goal, has Gosling ever won or even changed a game for us? I can't remember him doing so. Marveaux has had some games for us, even if they weren't this season, at least he's shown he's got something about him and could come good. He's still getting used to playing in England and he's still getting over a fairly serious injury and operation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 He manages to get himself in great positions, much like Kevin Nolan BUT also like him games seems to pass him by when he is playing in midfield Think a loan where he can get a good run of games will do him good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The stuff that he does is so simple and safe that you can forget he's even playing in the game. He does very little wrong, but he's never going to be a 'game changer'. Just 'Player 11' basically, if you're desperate for a CM to come on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 He hit the post against Atromitos and should have scored early on last night with the volley so he's still the biggest goal threat in our B-team midfield. Put him behind Ameobi and we might have a chance at winning a cup game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
