With you on that. As a young player he is still learning so any of us wanting to define his best position now, are being a bit “previous” He looked a little lost in the first game or two but since then has looked very dynamic and useful. As a position it suits him from a youthful energy perspective and he does have the chance to bomb forward with the ball at his feet (something he is pretty good at. At his age you simply cant say he is a CM or he is a No 10. He’s had good games in those positions but he’s had lacklustre performances too. His wing back tally is pretty much the same. Give the boy time but above all he’s a footballer and it’s great to have him in the squad. DavesaRam, Magicman, angieram and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malty Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Personally I don’t think he’s quick enough to be a wing back. I prefer him as a number 10. although I have been very impressed with him at full back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKANorwichExile Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Massive probs to Sibbo, he's taken the boss' telling off on the chin and is working his nads off at fullback. He made 2 exceptional covering tackles in the second half tonight, with the CB's beaten, and looks completely at home. The real test is when he meets a competent winger, but well done regardless! ck- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 TBH I thought he looked out of sorts in the first half, but defended solidly and played much better once Hourihane had got out of his way.

Jimbo Ram Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 It’s an enigma that Sibbo is still seen as an enigma ? CBRammette and Carl Sagan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is even more of an enigma is for someone who can't tackle, is not the greatest at heading the ball can make a decent job at left back in league 1. I wonder how many Derby fans who have seen him play ever thought he 'll do a job there. He is part of the strongest defence in L1 so he must be doing something right.

I wonder about that comment, because it is clear he can tackle and intercept, and to a lesser extent head the ball (getting better I think). His positional play is also good - which must be one of the reasons he gets in ahead of Roberts? Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better second half from him so credit where credit’s due ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if you sub him every time he gets a yellow, how is he ever going to learn to be disciplined when on a yellow? I thought he had a decent second half. He’s growing into the role and in this league can get away with a bit of defensive naivety. Long term, I can’t see it being his position though.

Even though I don’t think he is natural defender and has, in the past, displayed a somewhat hot headed nature, I think he deserves enormous credit for bringing this under control.

He's received 3 red cards since he first played U18 football (181 games). The only red in professional football (109 games) was when the West Brom player faked being stamped on.

Don't get me wrong RoyMac he is doing well as a LB but i seem to recall PW commenting on his tackling skills as well but he has certainly improved the defensive part of his game a lot and totally deserve to be ahead of Roberfs too. All the clean sheets speak for themselves. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree, last night's yellow card wasn't because of a rash challenge, it was taking one for the team, after someone else's poor play put us in trouble.

Derbyram1983 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Great for his development to be getting regular game time. It's hard to come in and out of a side and show form or improvement. He's doing well. We'll see what happens In January to see if someone comes in for him or he moves further up etc. But for now this is doing his development no end of good.
