Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted April 25, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2023 Wouldn’t like to see him against a decent, pacy striker but his performances have been admirable - even more so considering he’s had a few months out injured. At least him and a few others will be fresh for our last 6 games of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both correct. We saw the vulnerability on occasions at Oxford. Evatt is definitely protecting him with 2 holding midfielders since he’s been there. Probably same again tonight, he’ll have 2 from Morley/Sheehan/Thomason sat in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 25, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2023 Very impressive. Like an old rolls royce. MJ Campo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaztruman Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Agree completely, MJ is doing a really decent job for us there considering that's not his natural position. I was worried when I saw him line up there against Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobbypond Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Playing 3 at the back means it won't be that catastrophic if there's a one on one with a fast un as there typically will be someone close by and spare to cover (unless there is a monumental fuck up somewhere in play and he's isolated). Plus he's very good at nipping in and intercepting the ball before trouble escalates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 I thought he was excellent against Shrewsbury. As mentioned above though, I'd not like to see him against a striker with pace. Credit where it's due though, he's stepped in and done better than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems to be protecting him by holding Jones / Johnston back a bit - or that’s how it looked on Saturday. With Rico, you know nobody is doing him for pace or strength so Jones particularly can bomb on like a full back and double up with Bradley on the wing, knowing that if they break then Rico will sweep up with ease. It looked like Jones was less keen to get forward on Saturday and I’ve got a feeling it’s with an eye on MJ having to have a one on one foot race on the break. He’s done brilliantly, but even little things like the impact on the other 2 in the back 3 show just how important / good Rico is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallest dwarf and all that… Agreed, it didn't take too much to be MOM last night, but he really took the game to them and defended well. Not to re-open the Thomasson debate, but he should get into our midfield before Tomo, underrated IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ brought it out of defence to halfway and didn't have anyone willing to receive the ball on numerous occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Couldn’t fault Williams last night , playing CB & trying to play the ball out .Too many go missing in games like this .Sheehan seemed to be man marked first half & couldn’t get into the game , Morley was awful, only Dempsey showed any intent from midfield. As for our forwards their first touch was collectively clumsy. Not sure about Dan his decision making is gash even though he was fouled consistently & without sanction.
