Lush Vlad Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I thought he played really well in his anchor man/3rd centre back role. As I was saying in the Dummett thread. Games like that where we barely see the ball, really suit players like him and Dummett. Not yet good enough at this level to try and do too much with the ball at feet. I'm not sure either will ever get there. But solid players for a team like us at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 From what I saw yesterday he made vital interceptions and clearances in a role that obviously isn’t his role so he did well in that sense, but as a footballer he’s a bit of a nothing player really. He’s not a bad player, just no outstanding attributes to make him worth more than what he is as a regular. He will have a decent career in the Championship or lower level of the PL for someone, but we have to improve on him and most others (you don’t say...) eventually.

Guest Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 As with Dummett, it helped that there was no pressure on him to do anything footballing wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Think he's judged harshly bearing in mind its his first season at this level in a team that is collectively not good enough. Personally think he's done alright and will build on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think he's done alright and will build on it. Aye he's young and very raw, far too soon to write him off yet. He's 2 seasons in to his career. One full one in the Championship with us, half a one with Hull and half a one in the prem this season. He's doing well tbh, nothing spectacular but anyone expecting anything more than what he's shown is mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Maybe I'm expecting too much. Compared to Jenas for example who came in and bossed an away derby in his first start at 18 years old. I know his fee was probably the equivalent of £17m or something, but still. I don't see him being anything near that quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Think I classify as mental then. Or at least overly optimistic. He is along way off his best years as a holding midfielder. I can see him developing into club captain, even international standard. Or perhaps not, obvs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenas was an attacking midfielder until he was a few years in then decided to start passing backwards and sideways (an 18-20 year old Jenas was his peak for me) That type of player is always going to have a bigger impact, especially the way we played football back then. Jenas also had the luxury of playing in an incredible team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I can see him developing into a vital versatile squad player, and in this day and age of rotation and big squads, a player like Hayden is gold dust. If and it's a fairly big if, if he can progress as a footballer, he's got the right manager to guide him and he seems very willing to listen and learn. As a Newcastle fan it's nice to like a player for once, knowing he's not come here to use us as a stepping stone to get a move somewhere else.

Totally daft comparison, especially seeing as they play totally different roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 He's too slow in possession, gets dispossessed too easily, not the best passer beyond 10 yards...I just don't see him being anything other than a poor Premier League/Championship player.

Tiresias Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/05/newcastle-united-food-bank-football-poverty More from Hayden about the food bank.

thenige Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Can’t say I blame him. Somehow I feel the family reasons would be less pressing if he was first choice but wish him well at whichever Championship club takes him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 So that's another central midfielder we need. Good luck to him anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
