Tomaszk Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Footballer. All his tests will be defensively. Going forward he'll shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2019 I think he's looked good, definitely an upgrade on Taylor, but hasn't really wowed me either. Will reserve judgement til he gets a run of a games with a better player than Green in-front of him. Do like his attacking intent though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 So far he has looked technically proficient, as you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Looking at targett and Guilbert, targett looks comfortable and competent, where as Guilbert looks more dynamic and dangerous. But also Guilbert looks like he has a mistake or two in him (losing the ball in a fairly dangerous area trying to play), where targett looks pretty stable. Just from the Walsall game that observation. Regardless targett is a huge upgrade on Taylor, targett looks very comfortable on the ball and can cross.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 It was much easier for Guilbert to get forward with Jota dropping inside and creating space for him. Don't forget Guilbert had a much better footballer playing with him. I haven't been particularly impressed with Targett, but he has done nothing wrong yet and as I said he's clearly a far superior technician to Taylor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, even if he has done nothing spectacular, he is far far more comfortable on the ball than taylor, and targett actually sprays the ball around comfortably, where is i always cringe when the ball goes towards taylor, where as i never got that with targett, he passes it around well if not spectacularly. Tarqett imo is a big upgrade on taylor, and we might see more from him when he has el ghazi or trez playing ahead of him.

useless Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 He looks way better than Taylor, extremely comfortable, assured and poised on the ball, with good vision, and anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Christ yes, him not being Taylor it's noticeable how we can go into that area of the pitch and not be nervous about losing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I think he's an all round steady eddie. A weekly 7-8 out of 10 player, with maybe a couple of 6's. I think he is a great addition and what we really need behind our wide players. Really been impressed with him and Freddy. Both different but both very solid and competent early doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There is a time and place to judge players, during friendlies is definitely not the time, every year there seems to be some youngsters that shine who just arent good enough, for instance hepburn-Murphy and some quality players that dont shine, for instance John McGinn has not looked great, but I know who will most likely perform better once the season gets started. Targett hasn't done much wrong or good, but it is obvious to see that he'll fit a Dean Smith team perfectly, can't wait to see him playing in the prem with a fully fit first 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Have a butchers at the attempted pass to Jota on 3.33. I've never seen Taylor look for a first time hit like that. 14.43 - 40 yard through ball to Wesley.

I just watched bulk of game and Targett was very assured. One early pass he pinged was outrageous. Hourihane was lowlight for me. Still looks like he's lost at sea in DM. Really hope we don't play him there. Lansbury who I wrote off ages ago impressed Edited July 25, 2019 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
