Damo 0 Posted July 30, 2013 [quote user="City1st"]if he''s given the same freedom in the PL[/quote]All depends on the preparation and scouting ability of our opposition, I guess. He may enter the Premier League as an unknown quantity, but after (if) the plaudits come his way he''ll have some unwanted defensive attention coming his way as well.

Damo 0 Posted July 30, 2013 Indeed it will! With the reports of RVW and Hooper''s quality of movement , it should hopefully lead to some good goal scoring opportunities that we weren''t really achieving often enough last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Grey 0 Posted July 30, 2013 Agreed, looking forward to that. Hopefully less of the dilly-dallying with no ideas of how to break through! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 0 Posted July 30, 2013 I can''t see him playing week in week out next season. I think he will be used carefully, the perfect player to come on against tired legs or to start against a full back who is known to struggle against pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thas a rummun 2 Posted July 31, 2013 He can be our Premier League version of McNamee! Introduced in the second half to terrorise defences with his pace and trickery.I''ve got a good feeling about this lad. He may even surpass early expectations and find himself a regular starter, which would be great for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted July 31, 2013 let''s just hope he isn''t given the current coaching manual with the bit that says''when taking the ball down the wing be sure to stop after no more than 8 yards into the opposition half and pass the ball backwards, the ball should then proceed gradually via a number of other passes back towards your own penalty box'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoddys Jockstrap 0 Posted July 31, 2013 looks absolutely rude. was hoping we''d sign someone to compete and oust Pilks. Very early doors though. but still looks elite thus far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If any player decides to take the opposition on every time they get the ball, they quickly get found out and achieve very little. Possession of the ball is very important with the aim being to get it to the players that can cause damage in the right areas and in potentially fruitful situations.

Vazzza 62 Posted July 31, 2013 I think it won''t be long before Pilks is displaced by Redmond. However good Pilks can be on his day, its not regular enough. He drifts in and out of games and seems to have never ending injury probems/niggles. Now we have decent back up, i''d hope Hughton would drag Pilks off the pitch pretty quickly if he''s having one of his anonymous games. All it would take was a few of these and good perfomances from Redmond when he comes on and he''ll soon make the spot his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 31, 2013 It would have made a huge difference if he had been available last year instead of switching Snods to the left when Pilks was injured. Redmond has been hugely impressive so far, but then he did have the advantage of match fitness from the U21 competition. Exciting prospect, all the same!
