He had an excellent game

[erimus74]

A bit eratic with the header when booked but his game since the Sheff Wed 1st half has been remarkable

[Bud Wiser]

He's got better every game since getting back in the side. Gets caught out of position occasionally but thats down to how Carrick prefers his full-backs to play. Would be a far more effective player as a wing-back, but thats his managers call.

Had a good game today, so did Tommy Smith. Coburn gets a bit of a pass because he's young and one of our own, but I honestly don't think he's good enough for where we are looking at. Should have had 1 goal at the very least today.

I disagree on Coburn, give him this season before discounting him.

[erimus74]

Coburn still learning, against big physical defendwrs, he'll learn, still a year or so from being a very good championship syriker, IMHO mind

[erimus74]

Tell you what Engel has great technique when striking the ball, head over the ball & smack its, did a cracking piledriver v Sunderland when the ball rebounded with Fry crossing for Greenwood to score the opening goal & today, long range grasscutter effort that the keeper did well to save

Yes good technical skill

Hes certainly winning fans over

Agreed. If you're playing a 4-2-3-1 formation your centre-forward needs to be pretty exceptional. Ours isn't. Although to be fair to Coburn, although he missed two relatively easy chances he's at least getting in the right positions. A lone strikers role never usually works for us.
