Big O 225 Posted October 27, 2020 Big positive from tonight, looks a pretty tidy player given he played out of position, clearly a talent there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,651 Posted October 27, 2020 Didn’t do a lot wrong, he can be pleased with his debut out of position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,936 Posted October 27, 2020 Good mentality as well. Debut game for new club after not featuring in some time, only finds out when someone gets crocked and he's playing out of position. In a brand new league. In a totally different country. He did as well as could be expected under those conditions. Tells me he's got a calm approach and isn't easily ruffled. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ged in the onion bag 855 Posted October 27, 2020 Very steady! Grew into the game too. Pleased for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,657 Posted October 27, 2020 Thrown into the deep end so to speak. Looked much more assured when he was the right sided CB in a back three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,297 Posted October 27, 2020 Considering he’s out of position and not match sharp was very solid tonight, pleased for the lad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,948 Posted October 27, 2020 Yeah I'll sign up to this - thought he was very good given all the aforementioned caveats. I'd like to see him in his favoured position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,222 Posted October 27, 2020 Did ok but not sure I'd like to see him alongside Hanley as one of 2 CBs! Looks a bit lightweight for centre half, but may be a decent replacement for Skipp next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted October 27, 2020 Did look rather uncomfortable at LB - understandably. But played some tidy passes as times. He was much more settled when he was playing inbetween Hanley and Aarons towards the latter stages. Overall we should probably have two specialist left backs available not one... not to mention another CB so we can switch to the 3-5-2 more regularly. I have missed that formation from Farke for when we are chasing a game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 252 Posted October 27, 2020 Considering it was his first team debut and being played out of position I thought he did very well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wooster 134 Posted October 27, 2020 Given that he's never played in that position and had no time to prepare his performance was nothing short of remarkable. His interview after the game also indicates that he relishes the challenge and that is good to hear. I hope he thrives at Norwich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Six Pack 92 Posted October 27, 2020 Very average. Got easily beaten by his winger which crossed for the Brentford goal. No guile, pace or passing skills for a midfielder and too easily knocked over when challenging for 50/50 balls as a defender. Not sure if he is what we need for a team going for promotion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um, he took the throw in so when Cantwell gave it away he wasn't even in position to be beaten. He also won several headers when the long throws were coming in. Concentrate now....

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted October 28, 2020 Thought he did pretty well out of position snd in the second half when switched showed glimpses of what he could bring as a defensive midfielder with a few decent tackles to win the ball back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise we're talking about the Sorensen playing for Norwich not the Brentford one don't you? utterly ridiculous unsubstantiated comments typified by you claiming he was easily beaten for the Brentford goal. As Sgncfc pointed out he had taken the throw-in that Cantwell screwed up so couldn't possibly be responsible. Clearly not a Norwich fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted October 28, 2020 Ps. Just completely unacceptable we have put ourselves in the position of having to play a midfielder at left back. A major error by Webber and not one you needed hindsight to identify either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As well as Cantwell losing the ball in my view Hanley (again) the main culprit for their goal as he just completely left Toney unmarked. It wasn’t a difficult run to track nor should it have been a difficult cross the cut out but he just stopped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skipp needs a rest and is starting to give the ball away a lot now. But I think Tettey would be the natural replacement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I thought he did well for a player playing out of position and with no preparation for that beforehand. Did even better in the second half when switched to the right and looked quite comfortable most of the time. Good performance imo.

king canary 7,599 Posted October 28, 2020 Clearly not a left back but that isn't his fault. Will reserve judgement until he's playing in a position he's comfortable in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ward 3 372 Posted October 31, 2020 Very unfortunate to give away the penalty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,936 Posted October 31, 2020 Apart from that brain fart leading to the penalty (but if you're playing out of position in a position you've never played before, there will be errors in the decision-making), there's a lot to like. Technically sound, can clearly pick a progressive pass, not bad at picking off passes either. He's probably going to be a very decent defensive midfielder for us if he's playing at this level when totally out of place. Can definitely see a good ball-playing centre-half in there too.
