Phenomenal work rate and his will to win shines through. I hate to make pointless comparisons - yet equally I love to make pointless comparisons !!- but I keep thinking he is similar to my one time hero Denis Mortimer. Hes already my favourite player. I was just thinking.....He would be player Ron would take a shine to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Every time I've backed him to score we've won. Didn't bet against Burton... money back on today Edited April 15, 2017 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted April 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2017 I like him, but I'd hoped he'd be a little more effective going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep- 1 goal between Lansbury and Hourihane needs to be improved next season. I would like a target of 15 for them combined for us to be successful next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view he's not really had licence to do so. Certainly did second half, I'm convinced it's down to instructions, and equally convinced those instructions are evolving and both he and CH will be dangerous as this happens.

Stevo985 Posted April 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2017 I enjoyed the guy behind me loudly declaring "I hate that long haired word removed. He couldn't even get into the forest team so why is he in ours?!" I really wanted to point to out he was their captain and pretty much played every week AFAIK. And yes, this is one of the guys who worships Alan Hutton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I still think we need better quality in central midfield if we're to make a run for automatic promotion next season. Between Jedniak, Lansbury and Hourihane Something isn't quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Personally disappointed in Lansbury. Don't feel he does much. Whether this is tactics or him I'm not sure. I still maintain that him and Jedi in the same team is too defensive, especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I enthused about Lansbuy at first he looked like he had all the tools to be a Gerrard-esq midfielder. However he really isn't that quick at all. and he has the turning circle of Gestede. I don't think he will be with us when we get back to the premier league.

TrentVilla Posted April 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2017 I did say I thought he was a little over rated at Forest and perhaps not what we needed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I think he's a pretty good player at this level, but I also think he can be improved upon, he's not quite dynamic enough, not really able to dominate games and dictate things for us consistently. He's not at the level of Will Hughes at Derby or Pritchard at Norwich. That's what we're missing IMO. Edited April 17, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted April 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2017 We need a more dynamic , mobile holding midfielder who's disciplined enough to sit tight while Lansbury and Hourihane push on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely something not right in Midfield, nothing has clicked. I still think a lot is just down to inexplicable rank bad passing though. The amount of misplaced passes is staggering. Hopefully eventually they will gel and a bit more understanding will develop between them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate the argument that players need to gel and understand each other's play.....The bit I don't understand is, how long ( reasonably) it takes.

I think some of the players we have signed will be a part of an evolving mechanism that enhances our gradual improvement......but may not be long term fixtures.
