Bris Vegas Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Similar to Lewis McGugan in that he he's a decent athlete, but lack of mobility and football brain means the Championship will be his limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Agree.When people were saying Thorne, Hughes, Hendrick and Bryson make the best midfield in the Championship I agree.as a combination they do. Thorne, Hughes and either of the other 2 cover each others weaknesses. But I don't think individually 2 of them are irreplaceable. Think Thorne and Hughes make up most of the requirements for this "best midfield in the Championship." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Great goal It was indeed, shame it took him till the 85th minute to make a contribution. Unless you're counting him being weak as a kitten for the 2nd goal, or needlessly wrestling a player to ground for their 3rd, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen Will dictate from the deeper role he can do it and control the play I know he can leaving Jeff to drive forward which he does best. We have the players to win these playoffs I know we have .

Rev Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yes, once we were desparately chasing a game we had no reason to be 2 goals down in, he moved forward and saved a point with a telling contribution. His finish gained us a point, not his performance once moved forward, if you get the distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Will is more suited to a deeper role than Jeff as it stands with George not quite fit yet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Ram Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Both Jeff and Bryson are better off being 30 yards up the pitch than where they've spent most of their time this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Stood behind him in Nono8 once. If you painted his back silver, he wouldn't look out of place in the Impenetrable Forest, Uganda. That's my biggest gripe about him. A man of his size, strength and athleticism, should be knocking aside all in his way. He gets out muscled and knocked off the ball a lot for a man of his size. I imagine that can only be a balance issue because he is a serious unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of being knocked off the ball it's about core and leg strength not about upper body strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakram Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not sure why Hendrick was used as a CDM as he is quite a poor tackler, dallies when the ball is bouncing around him and rarely wins it off an opponent, much better when he is further forward and can get in scoring positions.
