BigAl Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 He has always done well when he has played think he has done enough to start again next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He was awful for their second goal, decided to attack a player and left a huge gap behind him. Needs to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Agreed WooJung but thought he was good overall. Showed good strength and pace and made a blinder of a tackle late on in the game. It's encouraging, but he does need to keep his cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 he was awful first half, but improved in the second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I thought he did alright aswell. He has a weird running style when chasing a ball, like he's constantly about to fall over but he gets to the ball most times. Important player for us next season, I think we'll hang onto him as he needs to play whatever the division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 40 games in the Championship will do him the world of good. Needs games now, a lot of games at any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Not very good today, on balance he's one of our better centre halves, but today he was found wanting for the second goal and was just shite on the ball throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Another good performance from him today, has to remain as a starter when Richards is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 This bloke has the heart of a lion but i think the injuries have really hindered his development Really needs a full season of football under his belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 good athelete and generally a good defender, but needs to improve his reading of the game. He loses opposition strikers too easily from crosses - pretty much all of newcastles good chances were when he let his man get a yard of space as he was ball watching.

Zatman Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 still think him and Richards is perfect combination from our defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Was he pacey before the injury? Pace isn't everything in a CB but was it something he relied om? Seems to be quite slow to me. Was outpaced by Giroud last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a sequence he is behind Moses but still outpaces him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 There was a moment in the first half where a ball was played through on the right to Wijnaldum who had a 10 yard head start on Jores, and he just made it up and took the ball like it was nothing. His running style seems labored at a glance which makes him look slower than he is but he is still pretty rapid especially for a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i would like to see Richards at RB and a new signing CB in January to partner Okore. The reverse works as well if we sign a new RB and keep Richards at CB. Depends who is available.

Hanky Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Okore has his faults but he has some beneficial strengths as well. Some of his defensive headers off corners, free kicks and crosses are superb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGabbana Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Solid and will get better as season goes on. Would also put Richards to RB and pair Jores with a new CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
