| Ronald Pereira Martins on 10:21 - Feb 19 by onehunglow | Majority on here do not or cannot get to games Does that mean their views are less relevant than those who do Television cameras get everywhere and showcase the skills and abilities or not that players have Ron bearing down on goal then losing the ball , Ron shooting ten yds wide ,or crossing to the corner glad is what happened Fact This is Uber fan syndrome we are seeing Don’t go, you have no right to comment Nah |
You need a certain level of perception to pick up what’s going on off the ball whether you’re at the game or not. Plenty of people at the game won’t notice the graft Ronald puts in or his positional awareness covering his fullback. All they’ll see is him shifting it onto his right foot and shooting low and hard at the opposite corner. I’ll admit he tries the same shot nearly every time and it rarely works. If you haven’t got that perception, you’ll get just as much, probably more, from watching a stream. |  | |  |

Thats fair. I have thought for a while he would be more suited to three at the back with wing backs, you could say similar about Key. The decision the coaches have to make is do we sacrifice something up top for defensive cover or use more flair up the pitch and sacrifice the cover. That's what a coach is paid for. |  | |  |

This is absolutely true. He gets into great positions multiple times most games, but very rarely capitalises on it. Certainly frustrating. However, with any of our right backs at the moment, he’s a better bet than the type of winger who gets bums off seats, but doesn’t do the dirty work. Off the top of my head, Montero, Oko-Flex and possibly Inoussa would be in that category. Matos can see it. He’s not picking Ronald purely on his attacking |  | |  |

Montero, although often injured, on his day was one of the best wingers we had in the premier league. Unplayable on times. |  | |  |

Yes, I know. On his day he was superb. He had about four of them in the Premier League. He was more consistently effective when we got relegated because he was just levels above most championship fullbacks. He left his fullback exposed every single game. Not everyone notices that and it doesn’t matter on the odd occasion he roasted the fullback like the Arsenal and Chelsea games. What would tend to happen is our fullback would be left exposed to a 2v1 and would then get the blame for opponents passing their way past him. That type of winger is great if you’ve got a prime Naughton or even Tate behind him. Where we are now with Galbraith, a midfielder who drops into midfield regularly or Key who isn’t at his best and likes to bomb on anyway, we need a winger who protects them. Ronald isn’t ideal. I’d prefer a Routledge or Dyer type. He’s just the most suited to it we have at the moment. |  | |  |

| Ronald Pereira Martins on 19:30 - Feb 18 by Whiterockin | 2nd top goalscorer this season. 2nd for assists this season. Not those pesky facts again. |
I thought one of our major problems was, we dont create enough good chances and so, dont score enough goals? Our wing play on either side is hardly brilliant but Ronald gets a lot more time on the pitch than Eom so gets a lot more of the ball i think. What he does with that isnt good enough. I would have to see derailed stats to be sure of that but Ronald certainly tackles better than he crosses. |  | |  |

| Ronald Pereira Martins on 19:44 - Feb 18 by GVJack | He's in the game a lot, as up to now we have mainly focussed attack down the right. That workload could/should be shared out a bit more evenly now with another pacey wingers in Nunes now on the books so that may improve his quality a bit He certainly needs to work on his "end product" but he's a grafter and gives his all for the cause. Goes down like he's been shot at every chance though which is frustrating as I don't think he's won a penalty all season! |
I think we've only had one penalty all season, which was the foul on Galbraith in the Leicester game. We just don't get given penalties! |  | |  |
