Rich Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just now, ManDoon said: I don’t recall it but wasn’t their a period where did that to a few players Just checked, he got hooked at half time “While the new boys didn’t impress, it was one longer-serving player who had a particularly awful game – Matt Targett. The left-back certainly wasn’t helped by Ashley Young seemingly allergic to doing his defensive duties and tracking back, but Watford’s Ismaila Sarr took him to the cleaners with his combination of pace and trickery. As per Sofascore, the English ace lost all five duels in which he was involved and made no tackles or interceptions whatsoever. He also lost the ball on eight separate occasions and couldn’t find his passing radar either, completing just 79% of his passes. Such were his struggles that Smith actually decided to take him off at half-time and spare his blushes, but some journalists didn’t spare the 25-year-old in their assessments of the match. The Birmingham Mail’s Ashley Preece claimed that Targett was “all over the shop” as Emmanuel Dennis opened the scoring for the home side, with the left-back’s nemesis on the day Sarr playing a big part for the goal. Writing on Twitter, The Athletic’s Gregg Evans said: “Feeling a little bit for Matt Targett here. 14 mins in and Sarr is causing him all sorts of problems. Hard to watch. #WatfordFC #AVFC.” Hopefully he was just a bit rusty back then… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 5m I'd much rather have him than Nketiah. He is a changed player and works like an ox for the team now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the first time in years it's worth watching from our perspective. Agreed. I for one am looking forward to all the bollocks, pure excitement and nonsence with nuggets of truth/hope to keep you glued. Makes a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Might’ve had COVID or something prior? Got dropped for Young at LB against us the following week, but had clearly got back into things before Digne came. If Rafa rated him, he’s probably decent.

HWTL Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I suppose even if Target is fairly similar to what we have then it's a good deal, God knows how long Dummet stays fit and although Lewis has had decent games I'm not convinced and good to have options.

Lush Vlad Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Targett is the most uninspiring signing of the window, for me. Assuming he comes, he just seems like he might be a slight upgrade on the 3 options we already have there. Not great going forward by all accounts, so not even a different type of player. It doesn’t seem a position of need, really. But if we still got another attacking player in tomorrow. Then I suppose it doesn’t matter. Not like it’s either or.

khay Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Might not be a big name we wanted but a upgrade even if not a huge one on what we have at left back and one that we might manage to do in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) From what Ive seen of Matt Targett, especially last year, he's a better performing left back than any of our current crop have produced for us. Though I'd prefer Norwich 19/20 Lewis. Edited January 30, 2022 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t be able to cut it in the Premier League in my opinion. Even David would probably need a year or so over here to start having a decent impact, and I think he’ll become good in time.

We had Grealish out for about six months with 'a bruised kidney'. That wasn't even a fucking injury before that. I'm surprised Coutinho hasn't done his ACL yet.
