HolgateBoy 96 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Just now, BoroSmoggie said: He won’t ever be effective as a winger in my opinion. He can’t shoot, can’t pass, awful decision making, can’t control the ball. What is he genuinely good at? What has he shown this season? He has pace but never even uses his pace to beat a man. He prefers to attempt a ball roll and fall over. This. Link to post Share on other sites

ChipBarrington 313 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I think Spence just needs confidence. He seems to lose his bottle when he gets close to a player, slow down, do a ball roll then try to go past him, ends up in the corner and loses it. I think he needs to just cut out the 'skills', use his pace and agility to just get past players and release the ball quickly. We have seen before he can be quite effective running with the ball and also when pressing high up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I don’t want to be harsh on Spence cos he’s only a young lad. I just don’t see what ability he has that could be improved enough to make him a good player. For example, when I look at Coulson, I see a player that could improve. He has a nice touch, a nice weight of pass, quick feet and attempts to get past his man 1v1. He’s a bit naive sometimes and very lightweight. Don’t think we or the club know his best position. Thats probably his biggest problem atm. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 People really do love making a meal of Spence's capabilities or lack thereof, don't they? Lad is 20 years old, had his first season in pro football last season out of nothing and he's the whipping boy of this team right now. In comparison to others who we're paying significant sums of money for, players who we expect to do the business every matchday, relatively speaking he's not even close to being the worst player in this side. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't we just strap him in one of those chairs, stick a plug in the back of his neck and upload the skills into him, like they did with Neo in The Matrix? 😁 Link to post Share on other sites
