I don’t understand all the plaudits that Joe Bryan is getting. He had a solid game but his play in the final third didn’t amount to much.
I must politely disagree with you there about Joe’s play in the final third not amounting to much. During the first 90 he had a moment where he cut inside and had a really nice shot on goal that was reminiscent of his second goal at Wembley last season. One of the only real shots the team had in the first 90 as too many of the players were taking to many touches and not even getting shots off.
He’s plays in the final third almost led to a goal. He received the ball nicely and took it through the QPR defender, who fouled him, stayed on his feet, and still got the ball into the box. All that after taking two hard slammed balls to the head.
Well done I say to Joe and really hope to see more of him in the remaining fixtures.
