But that is part of the problem....works the wing, gets up and down, seems to have a great attitude BUT compare his actual attacking impact to his opposite number. How often does it look like he's done his man only to turn back inside. When I first saw him I thought WTF, but he's really grown on me. But if he is one of the teams better players on a regular basis - we're in trouble!(03-10-2015, 15:38)Anderson on the wing Wrote: Albion summed up by Mclean who has actually been one of our better players the last few games.....tries hard, tracks back, works works works but sooooooooo limited in actual ability.
I think we must have watching a different player today Anderson, along with Yacob the best two players in out team for me today. Poor Rondon tried hard but gave the ball away far to often, but difficult for him to have an attacking presence in our 18 yard box.
Atrocious performance with a distinct lack of desire, quality, ambition and heart again today, along with some of the strangest setup and substitutions.
Brunty for all his hard work was ripped two new ones today by Zaha.
Even in the bad old days I could usually find something to justify our position with other supporters, now I just can not defend this. Bad when a Dingle in the pub brings me a pint over and genuinely say's "never mind things can only get better".
That sums it up pretty well, but in his defence he is better going forward than backwards and when he does get to go forward there is no one ahead of him meaning he has to turn back, which as you rightly point out is not his best direction of travel. Not to mention he is predominantly left footed if my memory serves me correctly, which does not help.
TP has to learn that if you never attack you, never score.
