It's true he didn't score much, but you could immediately see his ability to control the ball, his first touch and passing.

'Rambe33 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 He will come good I'm sure! On face value he's got everything you want in a winger and the success he had at Charlton was from running at defenders, being direct and powerful. However while its only been two games he looks genuinely lost on a football pitch. Reminds me of Space Jam when the "Monstars" steal the professionals ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I wonder if we ever was interested in Azeez at Reading because I think he's one of the most effective players in L1 CBT seems to be struggling so far so fingers crossed he turns out a good signing as we need players firing for us from now until the end of season Saw Azeez tear Charlton a new one and was hoping we'd have a cheeky bid on him as Reading are in the poo financially and thought he was really good against us too...

(Doubt anyone can remember) Maybe not, but the DET match report of his debut is still around online... in which they praise his touch and control. So yeah, you could see his ability to control the ball and his first touch from game 1. Dean (hick) Saunders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ramstv interview I watched earlier Warne said he’s a good option in the squad who he needs to give more game time to with the caveat that NML and Barkhuizen are in good form (which is hard to argue with). whiteroseram, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Carnero and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’ll do some good You may be having some difficulty determining the difference between a statement of fact and criticism, even though the criticism may have a founding in truth. Let me try to make things clearer. Factual statement: "I've not read many comments from kevinhectoring lately." Criticism: "I've not read many comments from kevinhectoring lately because, frankly, nothing he posts is ever worth reading so I either skip over them or stick pins in my eyes."

roboto Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm not sure how someone can make that interview sound so negative. RB is clearly saying the lad has had a couple of issues adjusting to the intensity and small injury niggles haven't helped his progress in getting up to speed with the rest of the squad. However, he is improving in training and if he continues to do so will likely find more minutes should the form of NML and Barkhuizen dip at all. This is very normal for a professional footballer to experience in their career. Comrade 86, FlyBritishMidland, Crewton and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 4 hours ago, Magicman said: He is proving to be a dud in the mould of others we signed. Really ? He’s very well rated but has come into a team that are right in the mix for top two from a team that despite having a very decent squad have underperformed to the extent they are right down the league , perhaps it’s no surprise that fitness and workload for what we want from him in his position are not at the level we want , add the fact that he seems to have some small injury niggles that are hampering getting to the required level and you may see him proving to be a dud is rather silly , we have players in form and getting the job done in the main so in my book warne and the staff are handling the situation very well 🤷🏻♂️ Caerphilly Ram, FlyBritishMidland, Magicman and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very normal for a professional footballer to experience in their career. It’s got everything to do with pre-determined bias against the coaching staff and very little to do with objectively considering the content of the interview. Similar posts on other threads with a similar perspective shared last night. Your own observations are pretty much how I heard it as well, it’s potentially a bit of a challenge to the lad to show us what he’s about. If others see it another way that’s up to them Premier ram, FlyBritishMidland and roboto 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Looks like he’s going to be latest in a long line of players at this club where there’s a section of the fan base who slate him if he doesn’t score or assist whenever he’s on the pitch, even if it’s only 10 mins off the bench.
