JBG's Crossing

Post by claretrobo1 » Sat Nov 04, 2017 4:56 pm

On par with Trippier's at times. Very consistent now and last 3 goals have been sublime crosses from him. Has every right to be in the starting XI and shouldn't be replaced come January. Hopefully Brady can learn from JBG's consistency :D

Oddly enough I thought it the first half he was the weak link with some very poor long ranged efforts - second half upped his game and the delivery for the goal was fantastic.

He looked frustrated because of the lack of people in front of him first half and lost his head a bit when taking the shots. The more options he had on the ball, the better he played. Been a brilliant little period from him since the international break

When he cuts back on to his left foot his inswinging crosses are delicious.

A lot of people were calling for him to be dropped after just a couple of games at the start of the season. I kept saying that he needed time and he'd come good. It's not often I'm right but I'm happy to say that I was this time :) He's coming good for us. Now all we need is for him to start directing some of those shots into the top corner of the goal!

He's so on form at the minute that every time he gets the ball it feels like something will happen. Really hungry for goals and that's what I love about him

Nowhere near as good as Tripps, but far better than Boyd, which is what we needed.
He's starting to get back to where he was before the Lincoln game, if the consistency keeps going forward he's a cracking player.

But why oh why do we play a left footer on the right wing?

In this form he's as good as you could hope for outside the top top level players. His crossing is quality and his work ethic everything you'd expect from a Dyche signing.

He's looking more confident and fitter in games. More of that, please.

Serious fire sale at Charlton when we got Gud and Pope. :o

Because we don’t have a right footer that is as good as him for that position?

I wonder why we don't play him on the left. Brady has been better on the right this year than on the left and Gudmundsson could be lethal on the left. I think we have two very technical wingers. Gudmundsson in much better form. If Brady was in the form he was around the Rovers game and Gudmundsson in the form he's in now, we'd have endless quality balls in the box. They are both sharp in terms of pace but we could do with an extra option of some rapid pace.

it's a confidence thing, he's actually started to take players on and look forward instead of backwards - hence the crosses. Yet another player to improve under Dyche

Just needed a run of games, just as he did when he joined us.

Try defending a right winger who runs with the ball on his left foot
Very difficult to guess which way he's gunna go

He crossed with his right foot for Wood's goal against West Ham.

I was joking when I questioned why he played on the right btw. Lots of people questioning our wide players playing on opposite flanks but a we’ve scored a number of goals from inswinging passes and crosses.

Thought he was our best forward player today, really neat in possession and the sliding block in our penalty area to deny Bertrand a goal was heroic.

He struggled for the first few games, cutting back on his left foot slowed the attacks down too much.

It's great he has got upto speed.
