Dr.Spaceman Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Decent, this lad. Does the basics with minimal fuss and is twice the player any of our other left backs are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Quality on the other side to compliment Trippier's quality on the right (albeit a bit lower, but still). Starting to understand the reasoning behind being so forthright in strengthening both full back positions now. Will do wonders for our balance. Great defensive performance tonight and very confident on the ball as well. Level headed passer and under rated crosser. Stick Bruno in the middle and all of a sudden you have the ability to pass with quality across the pitch and build attacks from anywhere. Clever.

Rich Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I’m ashamed I called him bang average. What a debut. Almost as good as his first interview on the official site and “Getting To Know” video. Looked effortless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 He was brilliant. Huge shame he can't play next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDog Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 To educate me, why can't he play against Villa? Cannot play against parent team while on loan I guess? That kinda sucks, he was solid as hell today (yesterday for you lot)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 No coincidence at his solidity at LB meant that ASM didn't have to worry about tracking back as much and was freed to put in a brilliant performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMLeazesender Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Looked as if he'd been in the team all his life.....solid and sensible....a quietly, confident, brilliant debut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Very solid. Probably gives ASM a better platform for him to do his sorcery. Even chipped in with a good cross. Shame it went to the smallest man in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Trippier getting all the plaudits today, and rightly so, but it's great to see so many people saying how good this lad was. I thought he was class last night and he'll be a huge miss on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Can immediately see the logic in bringing him in to protect that left flank from the lack of cover ASM offers. I thought his distribution in the first half was off at times but overall a very solid debut and, you'd imagine, that LB slot is nailed on to be his after the Villa game is out of the way.

Lotus Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Very good defensive positioning. Keeps that up I guess it may give Trippier a bit more license to bomb forward. He’s not great going forward but at least he’s very good at his primary job. Very happy to have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 He’ll be a miss but thankfully Manquillo seems to be playing well at the moment so as long as Trippier is playing we should be ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydos Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I’m shocked how much I really really like Matt Targett the full back. It’s like admitting your favourite flavour ice cream is vanilla. It’s dull as funk and unimaginative, but it’s the simplicity and reliability of it. You know what you’re going to get. It pairs well with sauce, sprinkles and other toppings. Fits well with hot brownies, sticky toffee pudding, crumbles, basically all heated desserts. It enables you to appreciate the flair stuff around it. Matt Targett is vanilla ice cream.

McCormick Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I said this when we signed him but I think he’s underrated offensively as well, has a decent cross on him and is a solid passer. I think people overlook that because he excels defensively; massive upgrade on anything we had in that position. Wouldn’t be averse at all to signing him permanently.

I must have been watching a different first half. To me he looked very assured in possession, mostly playing in the forwards low and hard, but when he couldn't simply opting for the low risk sideway pass. I didn't see any aimless hoofing or sloppy loss of possession. Nothing spectacular, but very solid and assured. Defensively it was much the same except for one moment where he let Coleman just skip by and cross while he stood stationary expecting ASM (ha!) to deal with it.
