AntrimBlack Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sorry about getting his height wrong. there are wingers who are good at heading the ball but at 5'10" heading is probably not something that will be a big part of his game. it will probably be shrugged off rather than "noted". however, it's not the timing side of the heading that is most concerning, it's the choice of header. decision-making. the co-commentators and the MOTD pundits always say "head it down." Am I the only one who remembers this? It's a mantra. It's only one shot and he probably thought the keeper was in a good position to save it if he headed it down, however it could have gone through his legs or he could got a rebound off the keeper. heading down into the ground is the best way to get headers on target. I would have thought the best way to get headers on target is with your forehead straight into the goal. This into the ground thing seems like nonsense, it always looks more like a mistimed header to me. If deliberate, it seems much more of a gamble than directing the ball straight into the target.

TRS-T Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Heading into the ground makes it harder for the keeper to save but you do see that type of header bounce over the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Has it really come to this? Debating the virtues of how to head a ball at goal off the back of a missed opportunity in a Wolves vs Notts County match in League one? Slooooooooooow week eh?? For the record though however the ball ends up in the net is the right way, whether up down left or right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Christ, if we analysed all Benteke's missed headers as much as Jack's solitary one, we'd need another website! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Ease off Jack. He is learning all the time in League One. I have no doubts he will be a great player for us. Edited February 18, 2014 by GENTLEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Is it strange that he is one of my favourite Villa players already? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Really looking forward to him in a villa shirt next season. Exactly the kind of player we need and don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Notts County must have some stupid players. 2-0 up today and 2-0 up against Pboro only to get players sent off early on and go on to lose both games. Causing their own problems it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 the guy who got sent off - Spencer - didn't play in the previous game when they had a guy sent off. he wasn't even on the subs bench because he was signed during the last transfer window. a 22-year-old striker from Huddersfield. Huddersfield must have known what they were doing because they signed Lolley to replace him! Waste of a good performance for Jack. must be exasperated. He cannot do anything more than score one and set up the second but the team lost so the performance counts for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only concerned about Jack's development as a player and a goal and an assist tell me he is developing and the experience is doing him good.
