[Albion] Locadia Today

[One Teddy Maybank]

It seems like his shortcomings were quickly realised and playing to them became his gameplan.


Anyhoo it's nice to have the discussion about the positives and negatives in his game without having to fend off:-

Get rid.
Shitehouse.
Shitehouse league.
Wannabe DJ.
"Not even a footballer"

Long may it continue.

I realise it’s a generalisation, but would never say that about one of our players, (well I might but nicer language), after all the Dutch league is a poorer standard [emoji2].

Whilst it’s ‘only’ friendlies etc, IMO, these are really important for Locadia in terms of confidence and belonging in some respects, he even seemed happier in his post match interviews.

Deffo.

I had a little look around NSC 'Locadia' last night looking for the specific "not even a footballer" dross from Spence.
I couldn't find it, but did realise of all the threads to get the treatment this is by far the best.
There's some pure undistilled bile written on here about Big Jurg.


As said it would be nice if those days are behind us now.

Steady [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION], I still need to reach the fence....... [emoji2]

Equally, I was also very excited by CMS.....

That turn that allowed him to shoot yesterday would have undone better CBs than what Brum had.........

 

[Bozza]

Still concerned that City or Liverpool will snatch him away from us now that his previously hidden talents are now obvious to all.

They’re not. I’m just on holiday.

Yeah as does everybody else, with a fair bit of justification.
All the pointers at the moment currently suggest he'd tear the championship a new one.

Also echoed here on page 6

He looked like he was trying, at least some of the time. I guess that’s a plus?

Not even a footballer.

Thanks, that seems like quite a long way from:-

"Locadia is the new Barnes. No matter what he does it won't please some".

 

[B.W.]

Big J coming good... who'd have thunk it... now the shackles are off, I'm not 100% surprised... still, early doors...

 

[scwiffy]

I suspect many of our attacking players will be looking better now the "shackles are off" from Hughtons defensive football.

Not just because of the less restrictive mentality, but because they will have more time on the ball to show what they can do. Someone demonstrated this quite well earlier in the thread when talking about Andone (who I still think is a quality player) getting frustrated with lack of service. Hows he suppose to feel if he's simply chasing 50.50s all game? More time on the ball, more opportunity to show what you can do.

Our recruits from the last couple of seasons must feel like they especially have something to prove. All good for us so long as Potter keeps the For/Against ratio well balanced

 

[Is it PotG?]

Not quite so magnificent this evening. Very much in anticipation of our visit to Vicarage Road which may well tell us a little more.

Very fair.
I felt disappointing compared to Fulham Birmingham, but you are right Watford is key.

We need a new forward/striker. Desperately. Murray and Locadia are not the answer, neither is Andone I fear, although he at least looks more like a good cameo front man, being quick, aggressive, hard working and a right royal pain in the arse for defenders.

 

[twr93]

Locadia is really frustrating to watch at times as he gets into some good positions and creates some good opportunities but they never seem to come off/it never seems to happen for him. You can see there is a decent player in there though. If we were to sign a forward in the next week as many hope ,would it be worth loaning him out to get a run of games and a few goals in the championship?

 

[OzMike]

Goals coming from the midfield this season I think.

 

[The Wookiee]

I thought he was too bad ?? Lovely ball to Murray in the box in the first half. I think that’s what Potter wants from our forwards, loving the way the three interchange. Yes it’s not always going to pay off and it didn’t at times tonight. But i have confidence in Potter and our team.

 

[Stat Brother]

Another game of 2 halves for Big Jurg.

I thought he was very good in the first half, strong, attacking, quick with some very good interplay.
Then (not for the first time) rather disappeared after half-time.

Maybe he missed the orange segments at half time.
