EskWeston 696 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 In my eyes Josh has proved himself every time he has played in the first team. He was very good again today playing deep, he will learn well there but his natural position is number 10. His passing and ability on the ball is quality. We most certainly should not over expose him and expect him to play every game, but we have had some poor performances in midfield this season and he has done no worse than any other midfielder in our squad. A loan move would be good for him of course but we could also use him ourselves. There is no way anyone could be critical of Josh's performance yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I agree Esk, he looked confident and comfortable on the ball, and was always looking to move it forwards/into attacking positions. Something I think we've lacked a lot of this season. I'm sure he will be molded into the squad naturally, no need to rush him in, and certainly, no need to put a lot of pressure on the lad.

Very good potential but needs to cut out the errors in giving the ball away. Regular football will do this for him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular football will do this for him..Not that i am saying that Josh doesn't need to improve still and develop but why does a young player coming through have to be perfect? Because the players currently playing in our first team most certainly are not, Josh gave the ball away no more than any other player, and played more forward dangerous balls than any other player, even from his deep position.Its time we lower our expectations a little. Young players WILL make mistakes and we cannot expect them to play to the same standard immediately of the rest of the first team.Josh always shows he is more than capable, a loan will only be needed for him if Carlo is not willing to give him more minutes on the pitch which he should have been give more time i feel given the form of the team.

That said he also played the most dangerous passes of any of the midfield players. So I guess that balances it up. I think Josh will be a great player, but he either has to play every week for us or send him out on loan. I agree he certainly is capable ability wise but stuck on the bench for a few cameos is no good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave30 728 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 i personally think he is ready or if he isn't quite the only way he will get there is by playing. The one thing we miss is composure , short passing and creativity all three of this best qualities : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
