Will Hughes Hair Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 In a game that wasn't easy on the eye, I often found myself watching Max Bird. Every attack went through him, he's got great composure, touch and distribution. I think he might just be my new favourite player. The question is, if he's this good after a dozen games at 19 does he have enough stardust to eclipse Craig Ramage's playing career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I think he was talking about Max Bird? Might have been Max Lowe, or Max Branning, or Mad Max. Hard to tell sometimes, mainly because it all comes out of his Gluteus Maximus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, he even stride forward and got to the touchline to put a cross in... showed how good he was and how slow the forwards are at the same time.

Ghost of Clough Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 1 hour ago, rammieib said: I want to see him pass the ball forward more. He’s taking the safe option too many times and going backwards when he could advance it. Were not helped by our attacking three here - Lawrence, Waghorn and Martin are static players who make slick football hard to do as they don’t move into space but Bird is just a little too safe for me. One great assist for Knighty otherwise I want to see him effect play more aka George Thorne. Hopefully as his development moves on and Rooney coaches/influences him this aspect will develop. Its stupidly premature to be saying things such as England at this point in time. He almost always passes to the most advanced player in space. It’s difficult to pass forwards when there’s a lack of movement in front of him. He should be trusted more. There are times when the GK or defence could play the ball to him, and 2 touches later the ball would be in the other half. Instead, they take the safe option and it stays in defence or with the GK. Despite being a DM, he’s often the most advanced midfielder driving the team forward - as evidenced by him driving in to the box and crossing late on today.

I'm just rather disappointed that two men who have been to every home match this season between them a) haven't noticed our number 41 before b) can't tell the difference between Max Bird and Max Lowe. It's not as if this is the first time Bird has played, is it? It's like the bloke who sat behind us in the North Stand who wanted to know why Fozzy wasn't playing about three weeks after he did his ACL right in front of us.

Its stupidly premature to be saying things such as England at this point in time. I think he needs to pass forward more too. But I also think that the system hinders playing through the lines. Our width intentionally comes from our full-backs so it’s regularly the pass that’s on. I’m not sure about Lawrence and Waghorn being static. It’s that they’re played narrowly.

I remember walking back from one game and my dear old Dad saying that he thought Charlie George had a good game. Charlie George wasn’t playing.

Pity he couldn’t play in that Semi Final at Hillsborough we might have won. Never forget that game as I got crushed on the Spion Kop and broke my wrist. Still cant forget the David Nish goal that didn’t stand. Bruce Rioch flattening anything that moved We owe Man U one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainyRam Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 There's an interview with Bird in the Football League paper today which is a good read. He came across very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Came out for the second half and they were all over us for a spell. Couldn't get out. Then Max nips in and steals one on the left in our half, sets an attack up and gets us moving. He's becoming inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
