2025/26 Harrison Armstrong

[blueboy72]

Ridiculous playing him as a 10 really Moyes had him blocking passing lanes and trying to
Press the Leeds right sided CB. We all knew
He would be the scapegoat. Moyes need binning in tbe summer the home form is embarrassing and he has no clue what to do. Basically changing your whole system smacks of desperation and a man who hasn’t coached the players into a system

It's also not 1970 and we can just say attacking midfielder.

Or trequartista

Well he played ahead and to the left of Garner with Rohl the other side.

 

[blueboy72]

Imagine if Tim put in that performance.

He has plenty of times and has moyed
played him as a 10 ! Or in his natural position

 

[MikeH72]

Ridiculous position he was playing in, lad didn’t have a clue what his role was. This hybrid marathon running number 10 role should’ve been banished with Doucoure, it unbalances the whole team.

 

[Joey66]

Imagine if Tim put in that performance.

all our midfield was pants in the first half all of them out of position imo .....

Little lost today. Fitted perfectly in a more general “midfielder” role last week.

Very possible slight argument that it’s tricky playing with Gana. One minute he is sitting, trying to conduct play from one side to the other, then he’ll pounce forward to win a ball, often does, but if it bypasses him we are wide open. He’s all over the pitch, which is great, but he might not be the most communicative.

Garner has been immense in his absence and really commanded things.

The young lads last week worked brilliantly together on and off the ball.

Not worried at all for Armstrong. By next season he’ll hopefully get given a role to maximise what he can do. The years of plonking Gana and Garner on the team sheet and A N Other are coming to an end.

I think this is very good analysis.

Certainly wasn't Harrison's best game and he was one of many that could have been taken off a HT.

You make an excellent point re Gana though. He hunts the ball and leaves spaces in behind him. That said it was that fluidity and cross which gave us the equaliser.

Harrison will be fine but I like to see him play deeper and he is some way from the finished article.

Back to PNE as planned by DM with that awful team selection ìn the first half happy with the draw - notice Garner ineffective with Guaye in the side - personally I would keep HA but DM loves his beloved Preston NE far too much .....

Joey this is all in your head and it really isn`t healthy.

Make sure you mix a load of edibles with your coco and get a good nights kip, it`ll do you the world of good.

Happy with a draw playing that badly in the first half TBH .....

Yep, but we improved massively when he went off. If he’s can’t play in the 10 he needs to get back on loan because he’s not better than Garner, Gueye, Tim, KDH or Rohl in a deeper roll at the moment.

You could have took five off if that's your argument .....

he changed the total system of the changes he made - stopped their fullbacks getting forwards - Dwight was awful - but another could have been substituted TBH ....

Yep Dwight was terrible. I don’t think Harrison is ready to start week in week out. Looked lost out there.

 

[SJB]

He was unfortunate to be the one who was hooked but a change of formation and a double substitution meant someone had to go off, along with Dwight McNeil who was lucky not to have been subbed earlier.

 

[Joey66]

Yep Dwight was terrible. I don’t think Harrison is ready to start week in week out. Looked lost out there.

like the other ten how we went in only 1-0 down was a blessing TBH - DM has got his excuse to send HA back to PNE now it looks odds on TBH ....

A bit worried about Rhol not getting on hope he has not got another knock ?
