Holloway Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Wears the no 10 and he'll become an excellent one sooner rather than later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Technically such a good player, the way he shifts the ball and attacks tight pockets of space is brilliant. He was our main outlet tonight, constantly occupying their defenders with good movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
powellnufc Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Excellent again. Targett will allow him to travel inside more, but hope that doesn’t limit him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Absolutely electric. Don't even blame him for the goal, it should be expected that when attacking you'll often lose the ball in the opposition half - we got caught out by a brilliant counter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Our best today. Wish he'd mixed up to some wider movements more but he was looking sharp driving inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Feels odd to write, but I thought he was both MOTM and also culpable for the goal that cost us the game. He’s been fantastic this season, and doesn’t look out of place at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh to blame him for the goal Thought he was pulled back initially but he carries on and it's a fantastic tackle by Schlotterbeck They still had a bit to do and there was a lack of urgency from a few players Attacking players will get tackled and lose the ball when trying to take players on, it's part and parcel Overall I thought he was our best player and has been our best this season, he caused them all sorts of problems and should really have gotten an assist if Wilson took his chance The one aspect of his game he could really work on is his finishing, it's clearly not natural to him but with the chance he got he needs to know low and going for the far corner is the best choice to make Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akin to playing a dangerous square ball. Gordon is young though - he’ll learn from it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Wouldn't swap him for any LW in the league. Fantastic player. So positive, full of running and wants to create stuff all the time. His movement is brilliant for a 22 year old. Absolute gem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I'm still shaking my head in disbelief. When a few where doubting the signing, I was saying to give him time but if I'm completely honest, I understood why people didn't see it. He looked sluggish, like he couldn't finish, like he wasn't working as hard as he could.... What a fucking transformation. He's absolutely class. 22 years old right? And he was our best player yesterday by some distance, in the CL. Worth every penny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I think on one or two occasions he tried to do too much, he nearly lost the ball earlier trying to dribble across the pitch and was lucky to get a free kick, tried it again and that led to the goal. It sure if he was trying too hard as there were good options for passes too. Shame as otherwise he was outstanding again. Xx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 He's not much of a dribbler, but the way he times his acceleration while knocking the ball past players is sublime. Nobody are able to get to the ball, so it's either a foul or he gets past them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
