David Astbury, Thank You

[tigertim]

Thought he was good

 

[St Kevin]

Our backline was very good given how bad our midfield was, and he was a big reason why.

 

[Juffaricho]

At minimum he provided a far greater aerial presence than Chaplin.

Yep, that is the big upside and it keeps Rance higher where he can use his run and carry which is a huge bonus.

Astbury fit is always ahead of Chaplin.

 

[Dyer'ere]

He gets another chance but was average at best. Nyair.

 

[Tigers2011]

Astbury fit is always ahead of Chaplin.

Agreed - thought he was good. If he can stay fit - he'll be better support for Rance than Chaplin. Lost his opponent a couple of times by being too offensive but I didn't mind that.

How many goals did Casboult get particularly in the second half? Thought Astbury was too loose on him. Having said that there is plenty to like about Astbury once he settles into the elite level......

:headscratch Umm 0 goals in the 2nd half. And 0 goals in the first half. Total 0 goals.

But that was due to Casboult being such a crap kick for goal.

Yeah he is crap but still he only had 3 shots at goal for 2 behinds.

Minus the eye gouging, or as Paul put it at the time "Cleaning the sleep out of this eyes"

Liked Dave's game tonight. Quite cool under pressure and worked well with Rance. Should retain his spot next week.

 

[year of the tiger]

Liked his game - just needs to get it moving a bit quicker and he will be a very good player

 

[UKTiger]

Not a bad effort in defence but still slow at times although he appeared to read the game better than he has in the past. Could well cement his place alongside Rance.

 

[22nd Man]

Showed that 2014 early season impact is repeatable. Needs to have a 20 game season.

 

[poppa x]

Reasonable effort by Dave.
The good news is he'll get better with each game and - injuries permitting - will be a very decent FB by mid year.

 

[Silent Bob]

Thought he showed a bit tonight. One of the better performers.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Stood up well. Unlike Chaplin, I feel ok when Dave has the ball under pressure

 

[toby64]

Would Chaplin have done better?

Doubtful.

 

[Tenacious]

Would Chaplin have done better?

Doubtful.

Good point.
And like others here I thought he did a good job last night and should be persevered with.
