Nicho Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I like Targett and he was good last season. I do think he is at his ceiling however, I don’t think he has the raw physical ability to go further. Not a problem for now and certainly not a concern. However I think in the next two summers we will look at replacing him. For now him and Young cover us there fine so I think it will depend on Young, who I expect us to get 2 good years from.

Made In Aston Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Targett has been very mediocre so far this season. He really needs to step his hand up, otherwise I'd be looking to replace him in the next window or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 If we’re going to be mainly utilising this 3-5-2 going forward, then I think we’ll need to look at replacing him eventually. I rate him, but he’s not a top 6 fullback imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I think we are only using 3atb against stronger sides and whilst we had an injury crisis. I expect against wolves we will be back to 4231 or 433. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I can’t see Bailey being signed as anything but a starter. Nice to have options in the squad though, we’ve not had a plan B for years.

Maybe playing Bailey and Buendia with one of the strikers. But again it’s a game by game plan I reckon. Also it will depend on the form of players.

foreveryoung Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Being worked much too hard on the left. Had a hand in the goal and the opposition goal. He's not the answer for this position, we have better players to play this far forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2021 He's had a really dodgy start to the season but I think he's settling bac down again. Better today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Still looks really uncomfortable at times. Had been one of our better players on the ball, but it's like his touch and technique has largely deserted him. Hope that injury isn't lingering.

rodders0223 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He was absolutely sensational for 78 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I don't think he has been bad this season, Watford game aside where he had a dog's dinner of a performance. A back four of Cash Konsa Mings and Targett with Emi Martinez behind them is a great defence imo. Edited October 16, 2021 by TreeVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazmonkey Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He is a defender not a wing back Only overlapped a couple of times and when did look good. Plays to safe for me and thats the issue...neither good...neither bad. But offers little going forward No point playing in a 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Yeah, I like Targett and don't really have any issue with his performance when taking in context the kind of player he is, but at the same time I think he's the biggest weakness in this formation in possession as he just isn't dynamic enough as a wing back. He's not exactly fast and doesn't carry the ball at all himself so we have next to nothing going on down that whole side of the pitch. Playing in a 4 again and I've no qualms at all with him really.

Sulberto21 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He caught the Mings swipe at everything after the 75th minute mark. Wtf happened with them two?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 One thing I would have always said about Targett is a decent final delivery...but that has been lacking this year bar a ball for Watkins' goal at Spur. Personally, I don't think he can mentally handle playing infront of a crowd. Especially a VP crowd that was a bit angsty with everything towards the end of the first half. It seems to effect him far too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack definitely gave him that confidence in the sense that he knew he always had an out ball in any situation, bit like a safety net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is capable as shown when playing with Jack. Seems to lack confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to be a proper wing back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
