Adam Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 That corner when it came back out to him and he killed it dead with a filthy casual touch. Ridiculous player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 His fitness levels are unreal. Always in a good position. Tremendous signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I always worry that it sounds very 'jobs for the boys'ish but I hope we can find a role for him post-playing days. His confidence in joining this club truly was the catalyst for this turnaround as far as on-pitch goes. Such an immense character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a case of jobs for the boys, he seems like he would excel in a role after playing, he's got the intelligence, experience and leadership to help players develop, even when unable to play he ensured he was there for the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trouble with statements like that, there's actually loads of great buys down the years. David Kelly for about 250k in 91ish would certainly quality How much did Killer cost? ?

Coffee_Johnny Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Thing about Tripps that strikes me is he is like 100% on the competitiveness continuum, but close to 0% on the aggressive continuum: never seems to get riled. Rare and rather wonderful combo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Did so much work down our right cutting out attacks and setting us free. Not sure why he was on Kane on corners though. Especially after the first one, he was still on him. Would have thought Botman would have been ideal to be on Kane for set pieces Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to see a wide view of the buildup, feel like Kane must have lost his original marker somehow, can't imagine our gamelan was to have Trips on him.

Kid Icarus Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Apologies to Habib Beye, Steve Watson, Barry Venison, Warren Barton, Matt Debuchy, and Daryl Janmaat, but you've all been surpassed by a right back who's only played for us 18 times.

The way he marshals the team is outstanding. It's great also when there are players complaining about decisions, he steps in, tells them to move away and the obvious respect they have for him, they all follow his instructions without a word. The utter respect the other players have for him is so obvious. I'm convinced he will be here beyond his playing days in a coaching position.

Kanj Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Respect levels for Trips for nearly ALL people who play with him or against him is immense. Haven’t seen someone so well respected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 he's not the greatest defender but his organising, leading, motivating and his right foot in the oppositions half are irresplacable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't bad to be honest when defending down the right flank. Got beat off the dribble once but otherwise was pretty solid. I totally agree with your other points.
