dcfc the 1 4me Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I’m so pleased for him, once again had an excellent game, it’s all coming together and it’s joyous to watch. He’s had his critics but he’s proving them all wrong at the moment. Keep it up Bradley ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this midfield trio (Bryson, Mount and Jonno) is the one for the season. Energy Steady on fella! I know Frank is good but.....seriously?

He’s played that role before and was always a super effective screen but he’s taking it a step further now. He’s turning away from defenders, he’s playing it through the lines, he’s spraying it in behind! He’s running the show, his last two games have been the most complete performances since 13/14 George. They did used to call him The Norfolk Pirlo! Quality , that sums him up from his last 3 games ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanoakaram4life Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 He was fantastic last night. A real combative display. Hope he keeps it up. The lad wears his heart on his sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Don’t know if anyone’s noticed but BJ has slowed down his decision making which has made him less rash and look for the right ball he seems to not play his first instinctive pass all the time now and when in doubt take a touch slow it down and wait for options ....had a really good game tonight I thought ??

maxjam Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Echo the sentiments here... It wouldn't have bothered me if BJ had been sold in the summer but whether its been a word in his ear by Lampard or the movement ahead of him he's becoming one o four better players. He had an excellent, composed game last night - motm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Wilson was MOTM but Bradley ran him a close second - without wanting to be contrite, WIlson wouldn't have got a kick if Johnson hadn't done his bit first.

Alph Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Probably always been one of the first to criticise but whatever has made him play like he is right now needs to keep happening. Unrecognisable last night. And Bryson tbf. Been playing better in the deeper situations than he ever has. Never has he dictated from deep but he's looking much better at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgoodspeak Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Superb performance by BJ. However, he's always had this ability. When he first joined and in his first 5-10 matches or so, he was immense. Not only giving us some steel we'd previously lacked, but I remember then that he could make space for himself, moved the ball well and produced some superb defence-splitting passes. At the time I thought "This is what we've been missing." But, it all started to go wrong. I seem to remember him being injured, his form took a sudden nose-dive and he was getting merciless stick. Didn't he even get clapped off in one match? Disgusting stuff. He was never the same as he was in that first spell of his time at Derby, although he has popped up with some useful goals. He seems born again, obviously a confidence player. He's letting himself down with his shooting at the moment, but once he gets that back, I think he'll prove to be one of the best, and most complete, midfielders in this league.

ramsbottom Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 That tackle on Martial in the second half, leaving him crumpled in a heap ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFrankieL Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Can't remember who it was that said it but after the Rotherham match someone said they weren't worried about the midfield coz if there's one thing Lampard knows, it's the midfield. I remember being rather annoyed at that point with the midfield coordination and balance but that comment made a lot of sense and helped put my mind at ease. Have to say that in the three games following it, the midfield trio have been imperious and so complementary to each other. I'm loving the absolute authority with which the midfield is running the games and long may it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Well he's suddenly looking like a player isn't he? Not to take anything away from Bradders, but the new management team clearly are working some magic, there's been a big confidence boost, players are also starting to play without fear and they seem well drilled tactically too. you can see it across the squad. Lovely stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
