Thor

I’m not a football expert but a lot of people are saying there is a player in there

Other than 90 minutes against Sheffield United, I am struggling to think of any game where he played well or did anything outstanding.

Not sure what player people are seeing but I must be missing something massive as he’s been really poor for me.

Thought he did well against Fulham, Coventry, and Watford personally.

He's clearly a CM and looks much more comfortable starting games. He's never a 10 or a pressing midfielder.
 
I'm all for giving players time to adjust etc so I won't write him off just yet. However, I have to admit I've not been overly impressed so far.

Hopefully he can improve under Hecky.

Watford? Really? I thought he was really poor.

In that game he had 65% pass accuracy.

He won just 2 out of his 6 duels.

Completed 2 out of 5 dribbles and was dispossessed twice.

I know people don’t like stats but even in his ‘best games’ against Cov he had a passing accuracy of 67%, lost half of his aerial and ground duels and won 0 tackles.

I don’t think he’s very good.

I thought he was involved in most of our good stuff that game, scrapped well, and stopped Watford breaking on a number of occasions.

We've won three games under Heckingbottom and he's started all of them.

I think he's one of those players who has no interest in the safe pass hence the stats. He also doesn't look like he's suited to being a sub and needs time to grow into a game.

Too early to judge for me.

He played well against Watford. Against Coventry he created some of our best chances in the first half.

He’s been better starting games than when he gets a 15 minutes cameo off the bench. People are going ‘well that was a poor cameo.’ It’s a cameo what do you expect?

Every time I read PNE online there is always someone writing off a player. People were writing off greenwood before he even kicked a ball for us. I’m guessing there would be quite a lot of Sunderland fans saying that Alan Browne is a poor player after todays game and he got 80 minutes more than thord to stake his claim.

Just had a read of their forum. A lot of their fans saying he’s pretty average

3 man midfield

Has not been effective the last couple of games. We haven't much of anything over the games and that's been telling in the results. Far too much space in between the midfield and the striker and the midfield, which has not helped our strikers out at all. Struggling to get hold of the ball at...

Really bad player this, really bad. A proper hospital head.

Twice had the ball in a good position and twice managed to somehow fuck it up.
 
Good to read that PH sees something in him...but we are seeing little evidence in his 15 minute cameos.
If he does rate him then needs to plot some kind of pathway to getting him to the levels he thinks he can reach.
Maybe a league 1 loan in January? Certainly don't think we'll see the player we hope if we are following the Stewart/Best model of player development.
 
Thor needs to do what Storey did once last night when he brought the ball out of defence all the way up to their 18 yard box…tgat is what the team is missing…with 2 DM’s and Thor being a replacement for Browne I would have expected this to be his role…if not then we need a midfielder that is able to do this.

We shouldn’t be signing full internationals to then send out on loan, they should be ready for the first team!

Ridsfail out !
