2025/26 Harrison Armstrong

[Swartzy]

Armstrong subbed..

Some good quick movement, and neat interplay.
Just used too far on the right today though.

Plus returning from a groin injury- glad to see the Preston Manager looking after him a really boring game v Stoke

Sorry Joseph I forgot to say, Preston are the team in blue..

Every time the ball hits the deck they have to wipe the snow off the ball.....

Yes plus he has more kegs than Gana - he would be good to use from the bench etc he has stamina & a bit of class about him to build into our squad atm ...

He’d be behind Garner, Tim and Alcaraz and I’m not seeing him get minutes instead of Rohl. When KDH comes back Armstrong would be in the soft play area with the rest of the kids on the bench waiting for his parents to come and collect him.
He has lots of time on his side and is doing really well where he is, getting loads of minutes and experience in men’s football

Oh Joseph, did you just bring up his injury record
You better quickly delete that from Google!!

Yeah not the most exciting game, but you didnt have to sit through last wk

Snow !!!

What game have you been watching ?

 

[Efcjake]

Bring a blue home for Joseph

 

[sanctioned]

Tried playing him on the right today, a bit silly as the middle of the pitch was a total mess. Has a really nice weight on his passes. Pretty tough game to watch all around.

I
The ball was hoofed that high it came down with snow on it....

Hopefully Moyes gets Armstrong back and sees how he's grown at Preston.

A few weeks of training with the first team players at the very least will put him in Moyes thoughts for preseason at the very least.

If he could develop into a Gareth Barry type player for us, we'd be very lucky indeed.

I think he can RP

 

[Zatara]

I think he can RP

I hope he'll be used as a 6 initially by Moyes as he was at Derby.

Then perhaps moved forward into an 8.

 

[Swartzy]

I'd say more of a Carrick if sat back.

He's just got so much energy moving forward though, very good taking the ball on the turn and laying it off.

Would you be taking too much out of his game though putting him back rather than a No8.

Still a lot to learn though, before expectations start..

I really think he'll be an 8 for now. Maybe his biggest strength going forward currently is carrying the ball, compared to his passing. Would be a waste of that asking him to sit and be more positionally disciplined.

I agree that he can move and progress the ball well.and press but I think he's equally good if not better as a sitter
