Popular Post markavfc40 Posted May 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thought it was by far his poorest game for us today. He was just way too casual at times. He has been fantastic for us since he arrived though and now needs to get back to his best over hopefully two more games. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Today worried me. As good as he has been Gayle ran him ragged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct as per, it was his worst performance for us but we won 2-1 against a very good WBA side. I think it speaks volumes at how good he’s been for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle is too good for this league and not quite good enough for The Prem in my opinion. Gayle was good today, they’re a good outfit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, Gayle is not quite good enough for the PL, should we get there he will be up against blokes much better than Gayle. I think Mings is more than happy against your stereotypical "old fashioned striker" when its practically a flight, but maybe struggles against guys with good movement.

Zatman Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Dont think he was so bad. Gayle i cant remember having a chance except the goal same with Rodriguez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Yeah I thought he had Gayle in his pocket apart from the goal which was a mistake from our midfield... did Gayle even have another shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings is no slouch though and he’s well built, don’t get me wrong, he’s been nothing short of outstanding since he came in. The effect he and Hause have had on the defence is great, I hope we sign both whatever league we’re in next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Appeared to tweak his hamstring towards the end, will have to be careful with him for Tuesday, dont want him out a potential final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think it's him purposely dossing about. Think he took "Calm and composed" a bit too far in his head. lol As in "don't panic". Needs to find the balance. I think ALL of them will hit better stride come next game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Agree was his poorest game today, but like someone said above, even playing poorly he restricted their opportunities. defensively he was still pretty sound, just uncharacteristically sloppy in possession and clearances - as were the rest of our back 4. Very unusual to be honest. pretty much all of the handful of their attacks started from a poor defensive pass or clearance. There’s nothing of concern here.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Its a very good sign that we were admittedly under-par and so many had uncharacteristic off-days yet we still had 70% posession and 21 shots while overturning a deficit into a lead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, it was as if Mings was trying too hard to stay composed but with Gayle on your heels constantly from the off it seemed to jade Mings a bit. So his over composure was probably a result of trying to over compensate for the fact he actually wasn’t comfortable atall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance needs to be found, but him being calm will bring us closer to balance as a team. There will be many shitting themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Gayle, for me, is a Premier League striker. Mings is a Premier League defender. Every now and then the two will clash and he will lose, as he did on Saturday. It's no big deal IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never looked like one when at that level, he's one of those who are too good for this level but not really good enough for the level above, could have a good career in another top flight European league though, e.g. in France.

He struggled a bit last season, the system Newcastle played didn't really suit him, hence the swap for Rondon. He looked much better when there for Palace, but alas he got Pardewed. I think he has been a bit unlucky. 99 appearances at that level mind you. Edited May 13, 2019 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever he played he seemed to score. I remember him scoring a cracker against us in the top flight. Maybe he just prefers playing down here and gets a Premier League wage to go with it. As for Mings he looks like a Premier League defender. Hopefully we find out next season with him as our player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
