Kanj Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 He looked good today. Some lovely crosses too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Had a good game today. Looking forward to seeing him further forward in the future though. He did his job defensively today but he wasn't exactly tested very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I fucking love this kid. At least one of his crosses deserved a goal and he worked tirelessly. I hope we try him at LW at some point when our plethora of LB options become available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Respectable game today, never tested defensively but that's not his thing anyway really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 He surprised me today, was very good and I loved his shoulder barge on gardner on the byeline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Think if you're a makeshift FB it's much easier to play in a more conventional back four. Weird wingback role is harder to get right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Much better today. Still not a fullback but there just might be a decent winger in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 alot less pressure today than some sides will allow him but fair play to him for covering in a role he obviously isnt suited to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Got completely done ball watching at one point in the first half. Aside from that, he was decent. Also thought Blob should've come off his line, at the same point, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 He's not a full back but got the job done there today when asked, well done to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FustinoSolano Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Did well today but couldn't have had an easier afternoon. Ultimately I don't think playing a few games at full back do him any harm, gives him a bit of insight into both left hand roles. Think he has huge potential but obviously needs to stay fit.

I'm impressed that he's been able to adapt well enough to do the left back role tbh. He's seriously gifted in more attacking positions. If he could only stay fit he's going to be one hell of a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 How quick is this lad? Couple of times he got caught out of position, but then turned on the turbos to get himself out of trouble. Hopefully he can stay fit, and get a run to build confidence. Obviously a young talent, but we normally ruin those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We need to tie him down to a contract ASAP imo, once/if he gets over the recurring injury stuff he's going to be a very good player indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Really hope we don't get funny ideas about him becoming a LB to save on sorting that role out in the future. He shouldn't even be a back up LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Really hope we don't get funny ideas about him becoming a LB to save on sorting that role out in the future. He shouldn't even be a back up LB. Money saving expert will have that down, Ashley will be loving it. When fit and firing he's the best winger at the club by a mile and should be starting ahead of Townsend on the left flank. Sissoko should be moved to the centre too, it still baffles me why McClaren think he's a winger. Pardew-like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very clumsy with the ball, where in the middle you have to be precise while under pressure. His passing rate is 76% with us, don't think it would be fun watching him miss 1 in 4 passes there. It's a real problem to know with what to do with him other than RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
