Mattoon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Struggled badly when he was out injured but that could be attributed to the fact it meant Colback played as much as missing out on a decent player. Has the right attributes for his position and could yet develop into a good PL player, then again he might not. I won't pretend to know either way but it's been good to have someone dislodge Colback for most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thought he was poor up until his goal. Yet he had the most touches, made the most passes and won the most tackles out of the 22 players on the pitch tonight. Did that all happen after his goal? Sensible people don't hide behind stats. I learned that when we beat Swansea 2-0 with 24% possession a few years ago. You think the likes of Brian Clough took notice of that rubbish? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stat's back up what I was watching, he had a good game and I didn't see anything from him that made me think playing in the championship was his level.

I thought he was poor 1st half and improved marginally 2nd half. Gained confidence after his goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 To pretend to be the voice of reason, doing the things Hayden does, when we're without the ball, often goes under the radar. Whilst easy to escape the naked eye, because said eyes are looking elsewhere, you need a player (s) like that in your midfield. If they can also get forward and score goals like at, then happy days.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Didn't see the game tonight but we've seen enough from him this season to suggest he could be a bit of a gem in years to come if he can stay fit and kick on, his attitude is spot on.

Incognito Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 To the naked eye it might have looked like he was having a bad game. To the naked and uneducated eye more like. Hayden virtually since day one here has excelled at doing the donkey work that many don't see. Even last night aside from a cracking strike for his goal, he hardly put a foot wrong. His passing was crisp, he was always available to receive and his last ditch tackle in the area to deny them was textbook perfect. This lad has the attitude and the tools to be what he wants in the game. He's not Arsenal like, as someone said last night but he does remind me of a poor man's Vieira. And he has plenty of time to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Some people going overboard regarding a good performance against a bottom half Championship club with nowt to play for!

He's still young so there's room to improve, unlike Colback for example, which is why I'd be happy to see him kept on as a squad player next season. Think we'll need better than him in our first XI though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 He needs to improve, hopefully we can work on him and make a player. He's got the attributes needed just needs to generally improve his game - in most areas if he is going to have an impact in the PL. Good hit for his goal even if it was with his swinger and he had absolutely no control over it (wouldn't expect him to accept that but it's quite clear from the way he it's it).

Aye, happy to see him in the squad for next season, and give him games here and there during a long season to continue his development and try and challenge for a 1st team spot. Don't want us to rely on him as a starter (most won't) and I'm not sure it'd be the best thing for him to play most games anyway as it very easily could go wrong for a young player with too much expectations from him too early.
