Lish007 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I reckon Targett will want to cement his place. This is his first chance since Burn took his place to really claim it back. Show us what ya got Matty!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Just now, LiquidAK said: Targett's decline is so strange, he looked so steady when he was on loan. Confident he can get back to his best with a run in the side What decline ? He's never played man, Burn kept him out of the side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he'll get that or not I don't know - hopefully with the added games this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Yeah when we signed Targett permanently we probably weren’t expecting to get through the entire season without a significant defensive issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never seen him in a season, just cos someone doesn't start doesn't mean they have declined as a player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingArthur Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I don't get this reaction for Targett. Of course 18-year-old new signing will not start over him. Our problems are elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Think decline is maybe a bad choice of word but as @LiquidAK says it’s down to not getting much game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Targett is running at 100% then Burn shouldn't be starting ahead of him IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And worth saying it's only because he was so solid and so reliable that the drop-off when he has played has been noticeable. Confident he's still that player though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, I think Pope is better than Pickford but he gets picked for England every time, does that mean Pope's declined ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he got that 100% still ? Burn's played left back on merit as whenever Targett came back he was poor. Hopefully Targett puts up a fight for his place.

Tough test to come straight back into like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
