wazzap24 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Don't rate him. Whatever he's got, I'm not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Not a player we should sign when his loan ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Thought he'd really kick on after the Burton game and then scoring for Scotland and generally getting fitter. Not been the case. Maybe injured today which explains why he came off so early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the Wayne rooney build anyway, and probably a similar attitude towards looking after himself and diet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Has never had pace, he isn't going to run from deep and beat people. You need to get the ball into his feet in areas where he can do damage. We don't do that, we don't work the ball in the opposition half, we don't pass well and allow people to get in advanced positions. We just hoof it. Against Burton we saw what he could do, we played 4 4 2 and Davis held the ball up superbly allowing Snodgrass to run onto the ball in dangerous areas. 4 4 2 works best, I have no idea why Bruce is now dicking around with the ineffectual 4 5 1 YET AGAIN!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Burton game was very different. Blues are a more physical, faster team and that really didn't suit Snodgrass because they doubled up on him and tenaciously nipped away until they got the ball. The other wide outlet on the right, Elmo, is also not blessed with pace either and we were always going to struggle there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Think hes been pretty good for us. One of our better players this season and actually carries a bit of a goal threat/attacking intent which has been lacking from our midfield since the MON days. We certainly don't have anyone better at the moment to play in his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have his limitations though, which is why I suspect he's not cut it consistently in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Im not overly impressed with him. Had one good game when he scored and got an assist (burton?) Other than that hes wasteful and loses the ball too often. Prefer Adomah out right and Green back to left when hes back or even Grealish if Green isnt fit.

Something to do with going 4-4-2 against Wolves and getting spanked maybe? Flooding the midfield is never a bad idea when we're supposed to have good wingers/strikers (4-3-3 when attacking y'know!).

I don't disagree. It was always going to be scrappy though, so I can see why he did that. It was 0-0, on another day Jota scores, they score a couple from those scrappy 18 yard box shots, we score a Kodja header and the two shots off the bar, it's 3-3 or any other combination of those numbers. I think we were unlucky not to win. We didn't dominate, which is what people are unhappy with, and that's fine - but we still could have won. That free kick on 90+7 was shit too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'd see it that way and I don't think that reflects the reality of the situation. 'There for the taking' for me implies that they were a soft touch who were going to roll over, when the fight they had in them was there for all to see.

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'd say he has been decent, not good, overall at least. Some really good flashes but he hasn't hit the level I expect. I expect him to standout consistently as one of the best players at this level, he isn't doing that. For instance yesterday Jota, despite his horrific miss, looked a lot better.
