Gordon Bennett 789 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Well I think he’s been an excellent stand in and the results since Quintilla has been out speak for themselves. Edited January 2, 2021 by Gordon Bennett 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I have a concern I am not sure how quickly he will move the ball on, and in the CDM role you get more time on the ball but it is vital not to give it away. Personally, I'd say it's a good thing if he's a little slower provided he's accurate. Bring the opposition to him, then break the press with his pass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ged in the onion bag 856 Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) For Watford’s goal, Aaron’s for conceding possession, Zimmerman for running away from the ball, Dowell for inadequate support to Aaron’s, McGovern (could he have got to the cross?).. all were more culpable than Sorensen. A gift! Goal v QPR, Sorensen and Vrancic both poor but after that it’s about the rules, the games honesty and integrity...how messed up it’s become... players can just throw themselves on the floor and it’s a pen! Todd was the same! To get to this level these guys are supposed to have good balance, how on earth are they constantly falling over if they’re not cheating? Unfair to single out Sorensen!

We all know about his ball watching & lack of activity which let Watford in for their winner but then this lazy pass to Cantwell which was intercepted led to QPR getting their penalty ! A lot of people have blamed Zimmerman (who touched the QPR player in the area) and Vrancic (for not bringing down the QPR player closest to the loose ball) for the goal. But (with QPR looking to equalise) we actually won a loose ball on the left and had Sorensen passed quickly to Cantwell straight away - there was every chance we could have scored. Instead he procrastinated like a great grandmother putting on makeup and telegraphed his move, waiting until the defender was smack between him and Cantwell and then tried passing it ! This guy is so slow in thought and action how can some of you seriously consider him in midfield ? 2 out of 2 (4 points lost) is enough evidence for me to remove him from the team for Barnsley, let alone consider him for CM. There is no way he is remotely close to Skipp, Rupp, Vrancic & Tettey - I am not sure if he is better than Kenny (who at least tries). Maybe he's just had too much football and his concentration has gone in the last minutes of these games - but it's definately cost us ! I could see that pass to Cantwell as soon as it presented itself. Sorensen is class, he’s only going to get better especially when he’s not playing in his prime position. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Defensively he has improved so has learnt from those errors. But they did occur and criticism was required as too many (posters) on here miss the finer details of performances let alone the blatantly obvious ones !

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 20, 2021 This kid I think is just outstanding. Out of all the ‘left backs’ we’ve had in the last 25 years, he actually looks like he’ll score a few from that position each season. And contrary to the belief of some, he wins some good balls back there, and turns them swiftly into attack. Another brilliant find by our sublime scouting department 👏 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sooty57 403 Posted January 21, 2021 On Bristol City forum after tonight's game........... Yeah. Cantwell is very good too, as is Gibson. And their left back is best full back Ive seen in league all season. Best player on park I thought. Should we tell them he's just a stand-in, or would that be cruel? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not Sorensons fault that he is so calm and efficient in movement, tackling and passing, totally unflappable. And who knew he had such left foot!! Great cross for Hugills diving header. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 4,310 Posted January 21, 2021 The guy has been excellent for us and from last night's performance it looks as if he's been working hard on improving his left foot delivery. Also he seems to be a real athlete with great stamina; we'll be calling him Jacob 3 Lungi Sorensen soon I suspect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
