BOS 00:41 - Nov 25 with 4695 viewsBoston

MOTM right? In an effort to reeducate my brainwashed colleagues, I broadcast the game through the job today. There was no hiding from the Sinton / London commentary, so much so that I've had a couple of texts from the boys who bothered to Youtube the highlights and ask who is this BOS, he looks useful etc.

I wouldn't argue with BOS or Willock as MOTM.

BOS's performance, superb goal and cool assist might catch the eye more readily but he also missed a sitter, hit the post, should have shot when found by Chair from a short-ish corner, lost the ball in promising positions twice when found by Willock, crossed behind Dykes when a cross in front would have led to a tap-in and his attempted cross for Willock's header only got through with a deflection. It was an extraordinary performance, one in which he oozed danger but also one in which his end product was wildly erratic. Still, a MOTM contender.

Willock's performance was quieter but also dynamic and his promptings of BOS and Chair, I felt, brought us to our highest level this season. He was also extremely consistent. The only blip was his two poor passes when presented with the scoring opportunity on the left of the box where he should perhaps have shot. Maybe he was tiring at that point, as he left soon after. When he did, we were never the same again.

Last night, I thought Willock was MOTM. This morning, I'm happy with either.

Warbs saying it is possible he could go in January if the price is right. Re the Bosman consideration -does the Bruges offer mean the club think they are in with a shout of compensation at the level if he runs the contract down- or is that not a factor taken into account?

BOS so exciting to watch when on form (and it feels like he is finding form now) but Willock seems to pull it all together. We look a far better side with him starting: just need Dickie back now. Never kind the play-off chat, there is a lot to enjoy about this side. Given budget constraints etc, I’ll take .

Felt by subbing Willock we lost a lot of impetus. They always seemed to be on the back foot having to worry about BOS, Chair & Willock.

Willock got subbed almost dead on 60 mins so must have been pre-ordained by Warbs.

Liked the look of their Smith, wouldnt mind him wearing our hoops in the near future

He will be finding form now, the windows getting nearer 😳

For me Willock was MOTM, followed closely by Chair.

The subs as far as I can tell was an experiment by Warbs to see what would happen with Bonne and Dykes pairing upfront. While it did not work, I think this was more down to the team struggling and not understanding what to do when Rotherham started going long. Rather than the pairing so, it was a disappointing experiment as it did not really reveal what they can do together. Against a different team that combo might have worked, we don't know.

The reason I can see it as to why it failed was Masterson and Barbs did not dominate Dunne style. As a result, this is why I think we are looking to get another CB in, hopefully, a monster one for these type of bombardments that some champ clubs love to play.
Back to BOS.

What he did do was strike fear in the opposition so, they stuck two on him. This was a mistake as it freed up Chair and Willock to run rampant in the first half when we switched play. Which is another reason why both Willock and BOS need to play. If, they stick two on both of them, then Chair is free. Good tactics this. BOS also pins them back when he's the outlet for breakaways as they know he's fast. Thus BOS in his presence causes problems even if his end product is very variable to say the least.

On the contract front another ploy for BOS is possibly to stay until the end of the year, then join Fulham when they get relegated. This way he does not even have to uproot to get a move for more money and to a club that has a greater chance of getting promoted. Or he joins someone like Watford or Bournemouth if they are top at the end of Jan. I cannot see a prem club coming in for him so, we are possibly looking at this years or next years contenders.

Willock looks a steal at £750K. Great scouting that.

you're a hard man Brian.
He hit the post twice, the second one was outrageously bad luck - he had a good connection from 6 yards out, hits a defender who knew nothing about it, hits the post and somehow comes out.
I thought Willock was great too, but actually he spurned a huge chance too!

Anyway, great to argue about who played best! I thought all our three behind Dykes were very good indeed. Chair too, as someone else pointed out. He's really finding form now.

Bare bones.

I think Bright should get the most from us that he can and sign a new contract. No doubt he is a force in this division but IMO he has no chance making it anywhere higher .

He was pretty ordinary when he first arrived and only really improved when he bulked up physically , improved his pace over the first 5 yards or so (he was always quick over 30 plus ) and composed himself more in front of goal .

I would love him to stay and if he wants to play regular first team football I think he should .

Essex, I don't want this to sound nasty, and I know there are exceptions to every rule... but Jamie Vardy was playing for Stocksbridge Park Steels at Bright's age. At 24/25 he was still playing for Fleetwood.
Bright pretty much has it all and has every chance of playing at the highest level. Not now, but in the future, for sure. It is easily possible he could have a career in the Prem.
I love your 'only really improved when he bulked up physically , improved his pace over the first 5 yards or so (he was always quick over 30 plus ) and composed himself more in front of goal.'
Right, so as he went from a teenager into his 20s his game improved and he got stronger? It's almost like a player can get better than he is when he has almost no experience in the game isn't it?

'ordinary when he first arrived' - aged 17?! Jesus Christ mate.

Still only played 93 games for us and has barely a year as a regular first teamer. Not saying he can play internationally or for Man City, but bloody hell. The very fact that inside 18 months he has gone from fringe player to one of our most important players should tell you a little bit about his potential?

Bare bones.

Vardy joined Leicester - in the Championship I think in 2012 so aged 24 or 25 at the time.

I have to say it's amazing how long it took him to get to the heights and maybe says alot about the blindness to players after rejection in the teens at that time (2003) and throught the Noughties I would guess.

HIs story is truly exceptional - his stats alone tell us that even more so since he got into the Premier League even before we remember he's actually a title winner.

I still don't see that it means BOS is quite going to do that, but I hope we get a decent price for him, but I fear we won't, I also fear that he doesnt have quite whatever it is Vardy has thats propelled him how it has.

HIs stats at Fleetwood are extraordinary 36 games 31 goals.

From there....

All that said Bright has one hell of a future, but I fear that gaents may get in the way and we can envisage the story, the Eze case should show him, but I think it's made him get ahead of himself.

He's not yet where Eze was...

But as a free him and his agents can pocket far more cash no matter what...I guess, be interesting to see who would be interested so far, but he's not 23 till NYE so... might he follow down to Palace later?

He might fit the kind of player they want?

You are allowed to disagree ,its not nasty ??

I think we agree that his game improved , where we disagree( I think) is that you feel he has more to come .
I am not sure, at a higher level defenders will be just as quick and strong as him( would he really leave Kyle Walker for dead?) , he wont panic them as he does Championship teams.

I am not sure that a comparison with an instinctive poacher with an incredible goal record stands up.

In short to address your last para , I feel he has fulfilled his potential pretty much . He is one of our most important players but we are a below mid table Championship team

I hope I am wrong , I often am , Its just my opinion and I hope he stays and proves me wrong in our team .

I thought he was pretty good from when he joined in early 2018, if I am right got his first goal against Brum at home in March 2018. McLaren for some reason did not use him ,then he started to put him back in towards end of 18/19 season as his grip on reality and the chop was approaching.You could see BOS was more confident and dangerous, just lacking final ball. Then real breakthrough under Warburton, remember at Stoke away first game last season, he was MOM for me. To be honest BOS is one of very few players we have had in recent years that gets me off my seat in upper loft. Has been a joy to watch, shame we probably can't hold onto him, but Chris Willock is looking a great prospect and him and Chair are really starting to gel.

sorry mate, i just can't see your logic at all.
All about opinions! Although if we're saying players have fulfilled their potential at 22 (some, of course, do play their best stuff at a young age) we might as well give up!

I suppose it depends on the player Antti. If you take some like Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, or Theo Walcott, could you make the argument that that they didn't really improve from early mid-twenties onward (Don't get me wrong, both have fine careers) as they were all about speed? Even our own Ned, pretty much plateaued out ( which is why he ended up at us in the first place) in his mid-twenties. You can see a gradual regression in Kyle Walker, year on year as he gets older and his speed incrementally decreases.
If BOS has nothing but speed (not saying he has, but think we can all agree he is not Eze), then is it not reasonable to assume he is good as he will get at 22, when he is at his physical peak?. How many times have we heard of a player in the past that had 'pace to burn' as a youngster, but quietly faded from the scene as they got older?

I'm afraid (for him) that you might be right. He's basically a one move dancer. Pick the ball up wide, get past as many players as he can, then shoot. He does it very, very well and it's brilliant to watch but he rarely does anything else. Premier League defences would have him sussed in no time. He needs more strings to his bow – like trying to cross once in awhile. I'm guessing that's why no one from a big club has come in for him. Which is great for us.

If I was him I’d be looking at players like Iwobi and Dan James and backing myself to be comfortably as good as them playing with better players.
