That Eaves has had his number in the air the full 90 so far.

He's like 3 inches taller and built like a brick outhouse so no surprises. Generic football league target man.

He's not right when it comes to aerial ability. It seriously needs sorting

Head like a sheriffs badge.

lol

We've got 50p head (Keane) and the Sheriffs badge (Godfrey) as our centre halves

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Plenty of effort , but needs work on his positioning and maybe we will have a decent defender on our hands

 

[Bluebirdie]

Fair to say he has regained his athletecism post covid. Only player still accelerating after 50 yd runs.

 

[StuBarlow]

For a 6 footer he doesn't get much air.

Needs some serious coaching from a Dave Watson type

Yeah deffo a problem with him mate, the amount of times he gets caught out with his positioning, luckily for him he has pace to make up for it but he can't always be relying on that.

 

[Grogu the blue]

He’s as rapid as they come, but as others have pointed out, definitely needs to work on heading and positional play

 

[lieneverton]

Becoming an increasingly major issue in our mess of a defence, which I did not expect at the start of this season. I think hes earned plenty of credit in the bank to have the right to improve, and he has of course been put out of position plenty this year, but need to some tangible evidence he is learning from his positioning errors etc.

‘On his very first day of training, the gaffer took him to one side and started doing heading practice with him, like you would with a seven-year-old. It was a case of holding the ball, saying: “Are you ready? One, two, three – jump.”

‘Honestly, it was incredible. I don’t know what happened, but he had obviously realised that heading wasn’t Per’s strong point. £5m for a centre-half who can’t head the ball..!

 

[T LEAFE]

I thought it happened at ht
Was it Villa?

4-0 Boxing Day game I think? The infamous low point.

When Mykolenko ducked out of the way of the 1st goal, the first thing that popped into my head was "ffs, we've bought another Kroldrup" lol
