Lundstram

[bulmer1889]

But he tackled more and tried to go forward more and broke play up more times than anybody else so what the hell was everybody else doing 64 the problem is the stats don't sit easy with people cos it's not what they think they saw

Nah its bo-llo-x,the stats man coupled the two peas in pod Lundstam and Evans stats together,he thought they were the same player.

I keep an open mind every game. My biggest gripe with fans is when they have a downer on a player and look for the negatives every time he plays because they want their judgement to be proved right.

I stood by Lundstram when he first came into the team because I thought that he was onto a hiding to nothing following Couttsand some who sat near me wouldn’t cut him slack at all, but having kept an open mind I jut don’t think he’s got what it takes. I wasn’t influenced by anybody sat near me, in fact Evans seemed to be the main target of the Neanderthals who think barracking a player helps the cause.

For ever good thing he does (and he does) he also fails to do the basics, he seems slow to react or reposition himself. I don’t needs stats to convince me I’m right or wrong, I’ve watched football long enough to know when something isn’t right, and they do lie guys. Look at the times we’ve seen loads of shots on and off target from us or the oppos but having seen it for ourself, we knew there was barely a decent shot in anger.

It’s sad, I hate it when younger players can’t quite make the level and I’d love for him to do a Paul Coutts and regenerate into a master. I don’t think that he will though.

Very well put Gray. Much of you just said is what I was clumsily trying to say in my previous posts.
Maybe it was what we were comparing him to at first but there are too many basic midfield qualities that for me are a missing from his game.
Maybe his stats were the best of a bad bunch Bully cos Satday was a bit of a car crash in the art of closing down/defending. But like Gray just said sometimes you just have to do what the old game show catchphrase says “say what you see”

Imo Evans is no better than lundstram I think they're both not up to it I'm just offering the argument that although we all thought he was bobar on sat he was actually better than the other 2 alongside him

Are Leyton Orient still interested in Lundstram,wish they were,i would pay for his 1st class train fair to St Pancras.

He is getting worse.

We could have been 1-0 down in the first minute,he was day dreaming while the oppo midfielder made a run from deep all the way into our box to take the shot that Henderson saved..............but wait there is more the first goal he was supposed to be marking the Boro player that got the flickon for the first goal,he just made a delayed half hearted attempt to cover.
