Mark Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 58 minutes ago, Tylluan said: Lost his way a bit at West Brom and that's why he got released. Very much a confidence player. Depends whether being on the trials circuit will jolt him the right way. He has ability but there seemed to be something wrong upstairs and it wasn't big time Billy syndrome. I watched a player for Bradford City on Saturday, Dion Perira. He has all the attributes, left footed, physical winger, seemed happy to track back etc, etc. I don't know him from Adam, but something told me he won't progress as far as his talent should let him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 @Mark You get a feeling mate. I can't explain it, either. He's been around a bit to say he's only 23. Watford, Atlanta, then a year without playing before trialing at Luton and going into their 23s. Then half a season on loan at Bradford. With the changes from 23s to 21s Luton wanted Bradford to buy him but Bradford said loan only. So he's at Bradford til his contract runs out in July. He's not wanted back at Luton.

He's got talent it's easy to spot. He stood out first 20 then faded. He kept working so I don't think it's attitude. There definitely a player in there, maybe just needs the right set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Bring him in and loan him straight back out. What's the point of taking him out of regular first team football against adults (I know it's only Cove Rangers) to put him in an u21 environment. Stick him in National League for 6 months and see if he cuts it there, then move him to League 2 if he does. U21 games, the odd session with the first team, and an early League cup bench place will not aid his development. Show him a pathway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted on the old board a few years ago, there is a player in there. A more than capable performer. However, he's the type who lunges into challenges too often for his own good. Seems desperate to be seen as the 'local lad done good' and enjoys being popular amongst his own hordes. He's cheated a few times this season and last. Developed a disgusting habit of going down in the box, holding his head during pressure situations, even though there was fuck all wrong with him. Ref feels compelled to stop play and bring the opposition attack to an abrupt end. Some may call this shithousery but I'm not having that. There's a line and he crosses it a lot more than he should.

Footlikeatractionengine Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Few times today in 2nd half he gave the ball away needlessly through being clumsy. But, certainly an improvement on his early season form. Doesn't get in the starting XI if we're playing a back 4, certainly not at RB.

But you would have thought those that see him every day could/should have seen what he may have been able to achieve. Of course they may have and potentially put scenarios forward but they haven't been made public. He's still not reached his potential.

I remember me, and others on here, you I think too, saying he should be playing more. Assuming we could see he had the attributes that could lead to him becoming an excellent player. To me, he’s the same player, just added the goal threat to his game. If we can see he’s going to be an asset then professionals inside the club should be able to and then have the foresight to prevent this situation arising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling_Wolf Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Basically we have 5 or 6 midfielders who are all too good not to be playing at this level. Somerhing has to give.

Based on what we saw, Storey was a bit ‘nice’. McGuinness I think could have a bit of shithouse in him. That said though. He’s not really had to, as his reading of the game at times is excellent. Although as Reesh says. Storey has been scoring, he recently upset Michael Carrick and Middlesbrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'd heard Mighten was going back to Forest so he might be the replacement. Started off at Arsenal, then Rangers B, then ended up at Derby as he didn't like Scotland. Was involved in most of Derby's games from February last season. Started in 9 of them and sub in others. 1 goal and 3 assists. He's very lively and direct and the fact he has recent Championship experience suggests he'd be a better fit than Mighten. Can't go back to Derby as Palace want a loan fee for him but they also want guaranteed playing time in his primary right wing position. That would mean a formation switch for us. Can see him going to Hull, though, as he worked with Rosenior last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
