LiquidAK Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Perfect for the "run at tired legs" role. He'd excel at it. Not surprising his form has taken a dive when he's basically had to play every second. Even a bit of rotation with Murphy as the season winds down will see him pick up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would've been a lot better if it wasn't for the Bruce years. He's limited but he's much more useful than a lot of people think. Especially in a pressing team.

However another downside for him is he has just turned 30, and age is less kind to wingers than any other position on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically he's far superior to Murphy, much better touch, speed of thought and movement. He just falls apart when he enters the final third of the pitch, but to be fair, Murphy's hardly any better.

Big Jow Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Murphy is better at hitting the post than the actual net and that’s fairly impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 his first touch from the bruno no-look pass was amazing. shame the keeper got out so fast to make the save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Plays as a sub very well, always slots in immediately and isn’t passive. I think we’ll sell him in the summer as he’s one of the few players we could sell, get a half decent fee for and not damage our first team but I’d have no issue with him staying to be first sub on the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He's definitely a useful tactical player, he's just not what you want regularly starting at home against 'beatable' opposition because of his flakiness in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I really like him as a sub against tired legs or seeing a game out. He's got a place in the squad unless we get an FFP-tastic offer imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Lovely bloke and always gives 100% but he's too limited for where we want to be. Bring in a class RW over the summer, keep Murphy as backup and get what we can for Miggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it also highlighted his biggest weakness. That pass was perfect for hitting first time with his right foot. The touch no matter how good gave the keeper time to close him down.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 This is not much of a stick to hit poor Miguel with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Eh? It's a pretty big stick. It's not a moral fault that he can't use his right foot more than twice a season, but it is a footballing fault. His one-footedness means he has to achieve the spectacular, as at Fulham, or he achieves nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I would rather sell murphy, bring someone new in, and have miggy as back up. He is better as an impact sub and also to press/harrass in the final stages of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 7 hours ago, Shays Given Tim Flowers said: I meant not scoring the goal of the season on Saturday. Yeah, exactly. He had to either score the goal of the season by hitting it first time with his left, or do nothing useful and let the goalkeeper collect it, which is what happened. With a right foot it would've changed up the options a lot - it would've been less amazing but much more effective. Looking at it again, you could argue that Gordon should've been more alert for a first time low cross, but then again he may have known there was zero chance of that happening without a time delay for the inevitable cutback.

Disco Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Already getting angry about Monday. Just hate him so fucking much. Why can’t he use a right foot like John Terry or Dennis Wise would do. Sickening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
