Vote for Your Man of the Match against Burnley Previous Winners: Brentford - Jonathan Kodjia Leeds - Luke Ayling
Reid had a great first half in particular- Smith probably wasn't far behind but I would like to see him create more- Seemed to want too much time on the ball and think about what was on- Collectively, we need to be sharper than this
I'm going to get hammered now but I normally can not vote for a MOM when we get beat by a better side, I'm going for Bobby Reid because he was head and shoulders IMO above most of the rest and I love the young fella, I now lay back awaiting my kicking.
Didn't think any player stood out. Reid was alright, tried to change the game but he isn't good enough to do so yet. He's good with the ball at his feet but doesn't always pick out the right pass. Gone for Kodjia, when Freeman gets back I expect the goals to come for this guy, the runs he was making yesterday only for him to not be passed to or receive a poor ball was amazing. Just feel when we have our little magician back Kod will reap the benefits. He never really got a clear cut chance when we were on top but he was giving 100% to make the best of what he was getting. I love the guy already, so quick and skilful, he's like a JET that will run all game. Really want to see him up top with Agard but we are apparently getting a new striker today or tomorrow. My thinking is that it's a target man to replace Wilbs.... really hope so as the old guy needs dropping.
One thing I would say is that you find out more about people when you are losing - so to be MOM in a defeat can be commendable On Saturday when we went 2-0 down everybody still wanted the ball - that's a good sign
Afraid I agree with you about Wilbs- He was great last year, but that was League 1- Part of me was thinking maybe that is the level he is now at. Their defenders handled him quite easily and though he tried, it just wasn't happening.
