TRon Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 2 hours ago, Pilko said: My nan is faster than this cunt. Glad we gave him that new contract. He got totally burned for pace at one point, but not sure if that was just because the lad had the run on him. He was never lightning fast but I could have sworn he could get the strides in when he needed to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bad I thought it was Burn. More to do with what was going on in his head than legs. Don't think micky van der legs would recover from all that.

Lush Vlad Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) The way we defend and leave defenders covering a lot of space, man to man, one v one etc. Really does not suit him now. He turns like the Costa Concordia since all the injuries. Edited April 25 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got too tight to his man and lost the challenge but Burn had let his man go and Sven was trying to catch him, only saved by Thiaws challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 He was fine. Made some good blocks and interceptions. Is good on the ball. His lack of pace is a worry though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he first came he was rapid, but now I’m sure even Burn would take him over 100m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Yesterday it was clear how slow he's gotten, even Dan Burn looks rapid in comparison. I really like Botman and hopefully he can stay fit and have a good pre-season to regain that sharpness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I think he's still a class player and if we can keep fit will prove his worth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilcline Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Fairly inoffensive yesterday, save for one embarrassing moment during a corner set up where they had 2 spare players and he had to ask Tindall who to mark. Back in my day you just used to shout "I've got 2" and get the lad doing nothing to mark up goal side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Ran past him in Jesmond Dene earlier while he was walking nhis dog and he gave me a little wave when I said "Hi Sven" Hope he doesn't read my comments on here how replaceable I think he is. Love you Sven x (still reckon I'd beat him in a 5k) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
