Thought he was very good tonight. Broke it up, kept it moving, and didn't give the ball away.

MOM for me

love4ffc · September 22, 2015, 10:36:05 PM

This is good to hear. The squad, and Kit, need options and he sounds like he is viable one. Especially since for the price that would make him a great find.

Which begs the question to me. why when we were 2 0 up against Blackburn, and we're getting battered did we not bring him on. If ever a game called out for a dm, it was that one

Excellent question. Hopefully Kit saw something tonight and will think to use it in the future.

I was thinking to myself after the Blackburn game that he must be crap if he couldn't even get off the bench during that. Hopefully it was just a case of kit not really knowing what he was about. Could be a real option for when Jamie tires in games.

Ron91 · September 22, 2015, 11:34:55 PM

He played very well today! I think we should bring him off the bench more often to shut out games.

Carborundum · September 22, 2015, 11:38:03 PM

He did fine in his first proper runout. Kept it simple and let LVC take the risks. Viable option for a long hard season.

I thought Hyndman looked good also when he came on. But yh agree Matilla was solid

YankeeJim · September 22, 2015, 11:48:29 PM

Seems like Parker's spot is getting smaller & smaller.

Tonywa · September 22, 2015, 11:59:09 PM

Did his job simply and well. Broke up any number of attacks and moved the ball on well. Also pleased to see Hyndeman get a little time on the pitch after a long wait. To my eye he always looks a class act and appears to have that little bit of extra time which marks out a good player. I think I would be more sorry to lose him than any of our other youngsters as he seems to have that extra bit of class.

Matilla looked very decent, Hyndman had about 4 maybe 5 touches? So don't think comment could be passed on him.

Barrett487 · September 23, 2015, 12:14:18 AM

I've been out of the loop, so i've not caught either of our last two games. I'm technologically baron at the moment, but sneaked some internet.

I was very positive about Matilla's move and hoped each week to see him feature, in the vain hope that he would provide a solid link between defence and attack. His dead-ball skills could be potentially advantageous as well.

it's good to hear some positive feedback...... does anyone think he could be a regular?

Apprentice to the Maestro · September 23, 2015, 12:18:24 AM

Yes, agree. Matilda looked very solid and comfortable on the ball and Hyndman looked comfortable and creative.

Woolly Mammoth · September 23, 2015, 12:26:59 AM

I was pleasantly surprised and he has a lot to offer, he did the simple things well, and was busy, and had good upper body strength. Looks a decent signing.

Thanks Mr M, positive reply..... if he realises his potential he could be a fixture (not in the unmoving Berbatov sense)

snarks · September 23, 2015, 07:31:41 AM

Think I did notice though was when Tunni came on, the team broke forward quicker, Tunni was more direct. Matilla did a good job of breaking up play, and playing the easy ball but didn't inject any pace when he won it.

I accept that's a minor issue, I thought he was very solid generally

Beamer · September 23, 2015, 08:00:52 AM

I didn't realise that Parker had been out all this time with a spot, but good news that it is shrinking. Must have been a pretty nasty one in a most unpleasant place.

The King · September 23, 2015, 10:27:57 PM

Rather impressed that no one has yet to spell his name correctly.

Whitesideup · September 23, 2015, 10:47:27 PM

Reasonable performance in a low-key (especially first half) game. I didn't think he was quite as tidy on the ball as some thought, but he was reasonable.

I thought we saw enough of Hyndman to say in the time he was on, he looked pretty good. And I agree with the comment that he is possibly one of our best prospects and I really want to see him stay and get more pitch time.
