Tiresias Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It's funny isn't it, Tripps coming up, he's clearly basically club captain but no-one has the heart to take it off Lascelles. Don't disagree would be unnecessarily harsh on Lascelles, and the squad seem full of leaders who don't step on each others toes so what's the harm but still it's kinda clear he's the proper leader Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no doubt who’s leading this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He changed the entire mindset of this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to disagree, as that's definitely a part of his influence, but what I noticed was him encouraging players to get forward, with a kind of "yeah, don't worry" look on his face. I thin he put a lot of pressured minds at ease. Edited August 27, 2022 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave s Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Another thing I’ve noticed today is how Pope is looking to play or throw out immediately after collecting .. Dubs used to slow the game a lot and hang onto it. Pope puts us on a front foot much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Just now, dave s said: A bit of a steal though, considering t. rex was £25m a good few years ago Absolutely, but age and his contract situation were probably the main drivers. He’s improved the first XI and any signing that does that at the minute is a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 His long kicking of a moving ball is appalling. Gets no direction on it all too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s strange, because his long kicking of a stationary ball is actually pretty good. Probably shouldn’t dwell on his negatives though as he’s already proved a substantial upgrade.

Lush Vlad Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 So positive with commanding his box. Can always hear him from set pieces and the players seem to trust him when he comes for it. Spoke to his cousin on Saturday. Says he is loving it here so far. His Dad, so Nick’s Uncle. Has been to every game so far and is also loving it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
