Confirmation bias on both sides I suppose, who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Yep that was my one concern when we signed him. Same with Bruno actually. With Bruno it's maybe the one thing making him best in the world. For Botman it's a much bigger problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I moan about his lack of pace my son constantly references him being the fastest player in Europe one season. Think the tech must've been faulty.

Wilson is really underrated at doing this because he's not that tall. I bet he's strong as fuck and his lower center of gravity help him shunt bigger players around. So I'm not too worried Botman struggled a little. He was pretty good overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Made a lot of loose passes from the back. Needs to massively sort himself out next season. Also almost lost a foot race to Wilson, when he had a head start on him Edited May 17 by gbandit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also almost lost a foot race to Wilson, when he had a head start on him I feel sorry for him not having a ball playing keeper means he's constantly used as the passing out option. Schar is missed for the ping balls or driving midfield runs rather than playing out the back which led to some hairy comments at times where we came under pressure from their press. Hopefully a view to upgrade the keeper and possibly recruit a DM as an alternative to current system will help with the variety at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
