useless Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Apart from his goal he was pretty anonymous, I don't think it's after one game that people write him off, he hasn't done anything since joining the club almost three years ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many chances has he be given? Let's be honest here the injuries are frustrating but he was injured a lot last year.under Bruce look at the crap football he had to play in. Lansbury was used as dm a host of times under that dinosaur. I don't think he has been given that many chances in all .honesty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Well I hope he can come good, but alas alas it seems we've been waiting a while for that now, but something always seems to get in the way. His goal was really nicely taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Smith likes him, whether or not he’s up to it is down to him as I think Smith would love to give him the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody at Forest cared when he left. Quite why we signed him and paid him so much is a mystery. He has probably turned in about 15-20 good appearances in his entire career. Diabolical signing.

Took his goal very well, but also lost us the ball a number of times. Squad player, a little lower in the pecking order than the likes of Neil Taylor. He's not going to pull up any trees.

tinker Posted July 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2019 If he can stay fit then he could be an influential player for us , he has the ability to change games , he's brave and shows a determination to compete. However he was pedestrian in some.of his substitution appearance's, which in my eyes is a poor show . Interesting to see what a pre season with Smith can coax out of him.

kurtsimonw Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Look at some of the players starting at CM in the Premier League, and he's certainly not way off the standard by any means. There's a decent player there, can do far worse than having him in the squad, especially when fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Proper Lansbury performance I thought. Totally anonymous. Nice goal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at the higher level, you can't get away with that......You have to be competent without the ball as well as with it. so many at Championship level are ok with it, but without it, left wanting.

Was just saying in the BB thread about that and Lansbury. They're both in a category for me where if they stay or go this season I'm ambivalent either way really. We know what their limitations are, but after Grealish, McGinn and Hourihane there's a real drop off in quality in the midfield ranks. Perhaps we get a couple of new DMC's to replace Jedinak/Whelan over the coming weeks and they fall further down the pecking order? Who knows. But as it stands I think they're both above JDH/O'Hare in the pecking order and if we can afford to keep them all around and they want to be part of the squad we could do worse for 6th/7th choice options and barring any injury crisis they wont get a game much, outside of the League Cup. We need to buy a team this summer but we can't buy a whole squad. Edited July 18, 2019 by VILLAMARV 3rd time lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most forest fans were annoyed that he left and were calling him a money grabbing Judus. He was generally considered one of their best players and one of the better midfielders in the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the way I watch football.....I don't like that type of player.....it suggests they only work when the going is good and usually only when they have the ball. I like whole hearted players......that doesn't mean they have to be nasty.....Gordon Cowans was one, he could land a ball on a sixpence and still chase a ball down and win it with his classical tackle......Alex Cropley was one too.
