He hasn't had as much time, though, and I think he'll get better and better. I don't know about being OTT but I agree in some respects. I think Cash next season will become this season's Targett, at least I hope so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we become better and control the ball more and more over the coming seasons i think we will see his real quality on the ball shine through. 60 games as a full back in his life and performing to this level already. Think there is major upside in performance to come unbelievably 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Targett has the benefit of playing behind Jack, which means that most teams are so intent on stopping Jack that there's not much in the way of overlapping runs from full backs etc. Cash mostly plays behind Traore, who let's be fair, doesn't exactly put the hugest of shifts in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To explain what I meant by OTT, it's not that I don't think he deserves praise for his overall game, it's just that I think there are things to work on, particularly defensively. That's not a bad thing, though, and the steady improvement he's shown indicates that he'll probably get there - it's easy to forget that he's a converted winger that only started playing top flight football about 20 games ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not fair, though, or accurate - Traore works hard for the team and runs as much as he can. The fitness required of our wingers is massive because of the system we play and the English game is a lot more demanding than the French or Dutch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's more accurate than your negative description of Cash's defensive abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Another great game. Would it he unrealistic to suggest that the value of Cash, Watkins and Martinez have doubled since we signed them in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I'd currently value them at: Martinez = £60 Watkins = £40m Cash = £20m Or to put it differently, about the same as small heath's debt Edited February 6, 2021 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we be able to find another player of that caliber for that amount of money? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I thought buying Cash for 16m was overkill because I thought Freddy was pretty decent and Elmo was decent backup. Oh how I was wrong. Shows the difference a truly quality player makes over a "pretty decent" one. He's superb, and 16m seems a snip now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Immense player that will only keep improving. Has a great attitude too. We should keep looking to the championship to pick up other gem's like Matty Cash. Edited February 7, 2021 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in the match thread, I love it that he's just as fast as the wingers he plays against. And he gives his everything, never jogs back.

I would certainly hope we are looking to the Championship and below for our new full backs to challenge the Matts, there must be some talented youngsters coming through that would be able to come in and provide good back up/ push for starts. I dare say you even have some suggestions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
