He was on the end of a right bollocking from Lankshear after losing the ball and simply stopping to look shocked. Everyone else was running back to defend. It's what made a real difference yesterday, everyone had their instructions on what to do in, and out of possession.
Especially because, despite the bad start, he has shown glimpses of something we've badly missed - a wide player with some physicality and appetite to drive at the opposition.
I do think it's possible we could see a change in the recruitment department over summer. But who knows.
I think Mills is quite consistent, at least in his approach. Always plays direct and very rarely shys away from the ball. Perhaps he is permanently confident!I thought he was decent v WBA.
Lack of composure when CamBran squared it to him, but that aside, I thought he looked like he could be a very decent player at this level.
As an aside: show me a winger who's not a confidence player.
Is his main job not to create chances? That’s the typical role of a winger. He’s got one less than Peart Harris who’s had considerably more game time.
Agree he's not really produced anything tangible yet. But I think he is a profile of player that we haven't had certainly since Murphy left: a winger who is quick and physical and, when isolated v a defender, generally has the physicality to beat his man. It won't always leads to goals, but having a player like that A) gives us an outlet, and B) gives opposition defences something to think about, both of which we haven't had enough of this year. He ran the Stoke rightback ragged midweek (appreciate he may have been a CB by trade, but still), and I thought there were a couple of signs on Saturday of the beginnings of an understanding between him and Donley developing: a couple of balls from Donley inside the fullback that Emakhu was able to run onto, the likes of which we haven't seen on a regular basis in years. From one of those he put in that wonderful ball across the box that nobody got on the end of.
Have to agree about the chance he had but why did cam bran not shoot himself, he only had the goalie to beat.
He is one of the signings that we made which made me think we had an eye on us being in league 1 next season. An inconsistent player at this level but could be excellent in league 1.
too much to live for?
You never saw George Lawrence did you?
Nope
I guess we needn’t worry too much, after all recruitment have a really good record of making astute signings.
This is exactly the type of attitude we need. It will definitely help new players who might be lacking in confidence to settle quickly, perform to the best of their ability, and contribute to the team's success. Thank you.
I came on here to make the exact same point. Won the ball chasing down a lost course
Yeah I’m really bored of this sneering sort of post, smart a**e criticism from guys who couldn’t kick the ball back to a group of lads in the park. It’s just tedious to read so much negativity.This is exactly the type of attitude we need. It will definitely help new players who might be lacking in confidence to settle quickly, perform to the best of their ability, and contribute to the team's success. Thank you.
I do hope you sit right by the tunnel so you can boo right in the faces of everyone you don't rate. Or maybe get to the ground before they arrive, so you can abuse them on the way in?
Whatever it is, keep up the great work - all fans should aspire to be just like you
