2025/26 Tim Iroegbunam

[davids]

That’s a function of us playing deep because of lack of pace at the back. It’s not down to intensity. The spaces are just too big to cover because the defence is too deep. Branthewaite’s pace helps us up the pitch. What would we give for another physical beast like Jags at CB.

Not having a proficient hold up player up front doesn't help. Give other teams with more clinical strikers so much freedom to run at our midfield will eventually end in tears.

 

[yuppie blue]

this lad will be a good player for us once he gets a run of games under his belt......especially because the main forum know-nothings don't rate him....they are entitled to their opinions of course.....

 

[Remember-the-name]

He was superb

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Had a good game. I like how he's bloody hard to get off the ball. Used this attribute defensively second half, nipping in and drawing fouls to break up Brighton attacks and their counter press.

 

[Look to the future]

Played well today. Going to be a quality player.

 

[Zatara]

I mean, does the complete midfield void when we’re out of possession not concern people a little bit like?

Today was the only time ive seen a truly excellent performance from him.

I posted in the KDH thread that those 2 central positions are a real confusion for me.

Iroegbunam and Gana were everywhere centrally BUT you make an excellent point.

Neither of them can hold a deep defensive position as a 6 as both move towards the ball.

Moyes apparently wants a 6.

2 positions = Iroegbunam, Garner, Gana, KDH, Armstrong + new 6 = 6 players for 2 positions.

That seems like overkill to me and i think we need a sitting 6 due to having 4 attacking players.

Potentially Iroegbunam becomes our new 'Gana-type' midfielder?

Head scratcher.

Receiver of the first "man on" shout from the supporters in a competitive fixture in stadium history.

He’s hardly played you nutter, so it’s been very difficult for anyone to say what sort of player he is or is going to be.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

He was like a deer in the headlights against Leeds. To dust himself off and put in that performance, on that stage/occasion? Well done, young man.

The yellow was a sign of his naivety creeping in, but stayed on the pitch until we subbed him so all’s well that ends well.

 

[sanctioned]

been negative about him but did well today. Happy to see he is getting a better feeling for being in the center.

Why are you calling me a nutter if you dont know either

He played like that for the first 3 or 4 games last season and then we didn't see it again until today. Let's hope he can kick on this time

Most of those I saw were created by his more experienced partner.

 

[Delargeinho]

Pretty good match today and reminded me of his first few games last season offensively.

No dangerous ball losses today that put us into dangerous situations.

I suspect Armstrong getting a TDD loan move, if we manage to bring in another midfielder. No use keeping the lad here, if he's not getting minutes.
