Conjo Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't understand how he is going to gain any sharpness, get used to the league/tempo and gel with the team if he is not given game time. He absolutely should start the next 5-6 games or so, regardless of how he performs. We should be able to carry some players in this team and get results at the same time. If not, we shouldn't have signed him in the first place. Totally potty idea, he should be blooded with late bench cameos when games are already won. The goal this season is promotion not to experiment beyond what is necessary. Was just about to say this. Mental idea. Guess it's just a difference of philosophies. Applying your method, in my mind, just delays the process. This isn't some 16 year old academy player, so we shouldn't spend 6+ months easing him into things to see if he is up to it. He has a much higher skill ceiling than Dummett, so a couple of bad performances is worth it in my mind if he gets up to speed quicker for the sake of our long term results this season. It showed yesterday that we can get results even if he doesn't play particularly well, so why not persist with him for a few more games even if his performance level is inconsistent/poor?

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 When the other option at LB is Paul Dummett, I completely agree that this lad should be a given a run of games to see if he settles down. A dodgy debut doesn't outweigh the list of dreadful performances Dummett has put in over his time in the side and got worse rather than better.

It showed yesterday that we can get results even if he doesn't play particularly well, so why not persist with him for a few more games even if his performance level is inconsistent/poor? Because Newcastle United is a meritocracy not an old boys club and Dummett has been playing better than Lazaar? Dummett gets too much stick on here. Really frustrates me how much time we give to new signings on here while perpetually writing off our current XI. Within the last week I've seen posters on here suggest Diame is better than Sissoko, Ritchie is better than Townsend and now Lazaar should be starting ahead of Dummett after one game during which he was by all accounts awful against a second string Wolves side. I'm not saying we should write him off but going off last wednesday's game he doesn't sound ready yet and he needs to earn his place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Like his attitude, even though he's barely played, there's no whinging going on, he's just biding his time and adapting to the game here. Still think he'll be a good signing, looking forward to seeing more from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Glad this guy improved significantly on what was (by all accounts) an absolute horror show in his first appearance. Thought he entered the team philosophy with no qualms at all and got forward well too. Real shame that effort that cracked the bar didn't drop in.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Think that strike would have put my window out if it never caught the bar. I'm a Dummet fan tbh, but a fullback who can smash a ball is always lush to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the crap quality of image but never getting to it my arse. He's in a better position than Snodgrass just as the ball is about to be saved and as a defender you have to expect the worst. He is very much at fault along with Sels for that goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
