Brick Tamland Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Very composed for his age, defensively I thought he did really well tonight, Forest struggled to get past him. Good athlete, good awareness and positionally astute. Loses a point for his corners though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cosanostra Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Did his job well. Shit at corners though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Jambo Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I thought he was excellent tonight and among my contenders for MotM. Bit surprised at some of the lower scores for him on the player ratings thread. I've not been totally convinced by him so far, especially going forward, but tonight he was absolutely solid defensively. Numerous times he was 1-on-1 with an attacker and stood them up. Also got stuck in and got a foot in to break up attacks. I also thought he got in a few decent attacking positions, including the shot at the end of the first half and a couple of times around the edge of the box in the second. Well done Alex.

milky_26 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 his best performance for us, my only criticism is take him off corners, they were not the best. kingsley or halliday would be better options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gashauskis9 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Cracking wee player, with a great engine. Good bit of scouting work on Joe’s part to get him up here. The lad’s going places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
number-16 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I assume we'll be lining him up for a pre-contract in January if he keeps this up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToqueJambo Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Very solid, composed and confident. Still think we need more attack-minded WB options to him and Smith but both did really well today. Good signing, but aren't Brighton supposed to be Hibs feeder club not ours? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gregzy2k7 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I thought he had a great game, Improving every week by the looks of it, another one that's looking a good signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigAlim Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think he'll do more going forward as he gains confidence, certainly looks capable Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russ1977 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Good player. His one on one defending is excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Homme Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think he's going to generally be solid and unspectacular. Much like his boss during his playing days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
