Carroll - a man of two halfs 08:43 - Oct 15 with 6451 viewsSTID2017

Most of the first half he was largely disappointing.
Second half was much better.
Needs more confidence, as he had last season
Overall, well done today Tom.

The first half was disappointing? Apart from laying on the good chance for Abraham in the first ten minutes and then putting a goal on a plate for him you mean?

He did give the ball away a bit, but on balance, I’d take that level of disappointing.

I’m not Carroll’s biggest fan, and didn’t see the game yesterday, but from the highlights he seemed to be a big part of anything positive going forward so well done to him.

Now Ki is fit, competition does seem to be hotting up in central midfield, especially if we keep to the 451 with wingers. Can only be good news.

He played really well without the ball yesterday. His constant pressuring of their players (along with others) stopped Huddersfield getting momentum in the game. Never shies away from making himself available even when he’s not playing at his best which his team mates will appreciate.

Ran his socks off yesterday but not very effective. A bit like Siggy but without the ability to take a decent set piece.

Probably his best performance of the season so far, although we need a better set piece option.

This. He's OK, tidy and that, but we what we need in midfield, he can't give us - a large personality who can take a game by the scruff.

And it's absolutely shockng that he can't kick a dead ball.

His name isn't Joey Allen so he'll never be given credit by some.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

And this folks just about sums things up.

A goal just before half time will have done wonders for morale and this showed in the second half where some of the passing and movement was back to levels that we've seen previously.

If Clement the coach has anything about him he will be working Carroll in training but then the whole damn squad need to work very, very hard.

I hope this win is the "penny dropping" game that springboards us for the rest of the season.

Get real.
Had we not scored at the end of the first half, he and the team would have come out nervously in the second half and Carroll's performance would have been no better than we've seen in recent weeks.

I've been a big supporter for Tom since he came on loan under Garry Monk, he was grossly underused that season, and he was very very good when he came back last season. But surely most will admit he's been very poor at the start of this season by the standard he has set.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

I thought Tom Carroll had a very good game yesterday.

Unfortunately one his weaknesses is his inability to retain the ball when closed down. However this happened a lot less yesterday, as I think he benefited from the side's greater movement and attacking intent, in that it offered him more passing options, particularly going forward. He was then not afraid to try difficult passes, demonstrating that he can be one of our more creative players. His work rate was also excellent and he seemed to be a bit more tenacious in his attempts to close down opposition players and nick the ball.

It's weird how he came back to us so soon and as a completely different type of player.We might have used him differently originally because all I remember of him from his first spell here was he could pass the ball sideways, Ki and Leon like.

He's now a flair player and our main attempt at having a playmaker.He's going to be some player in a couple of years.Right now he's inconsistent but you can still see that theres a real talent ready to explode onto the scene.Jack Wilshere without the Lambert & Butler habit and less injury prone potentially.

He's been like that all season. Grows into games instead of starting well, and he's our only midfielder with 90 good minutes in his legs.

Leon and Ki struggle after an hour. Fer looks knackered coming out for the second half.

Clucas is also a 90 minute player.

Writing Clucas off within a half dozen games is the thoughts of a dunce.

Half a dozen games, none of which in the position he played for Hull last season.

How did he typically line up for Hull? Can't say I remember for sure, but it seemed like he was their #10 at least some of the time.
