Hope the is isn’t a touch of the Callum Harriotts with the famous “You just watch” comment the day before we got beat 2-0 by them without having a shot on target.
Bloody hell, that doesn't sound good. Selfishly the international break is well timed for us, and while his health is clearly the most important thing it would have been a disaster if we had lost him before Lyle was ready to return
A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:
the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save
holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air
A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with the hand(s).
great work for the first goal on sat, showing more of what he can do with every game
Yep - his movement for the first goal was excellent and it deserved the assist tbh. The way he did 2 players was brilliant and very different from the way Leko tries to do 2 players.
Quite clear to see Bonne is a natural finisher, some lovely clinical strikes in there. Both footed and works incredibly hard. Touch up on some of his general play and he can easily be as important to us as Taylor. His progression in under 6 months has been remarkable. Fantastic stuff Macca, keep it up!
He’s doing so well. His two goals On Boxing Day showed two completely different aspects of his game, the first showed his technical ability with a very tough finish and the second showed his work rate and determination.
he's got the magic bit you can't really teach - finishing - and with his strength and physique and attitude i think he's nailed on for a very good career - happy with our front 2
As said the other day... He's a poacher, knows where to be at the right time which isnt easy to do - He's gone "missing" in recent games because he's not had that creative outlet to set him up
Not being harsh as I dont care but he's yet to really create his own goal from that list of views

His running into channels and spaces that other players are not running into, and the defenders find hard to track has played just as important part in creating some of his goals as the pass to him has.
For me personally I would say the best bit of work he actually did against Bristol was the assist for Doughty's goal. Fabulous movement to create a passing opportunity, and an absolute pin point killer pass across the box between essentially 4 Bristol players.
All that and he tracks back and defends as well. Quality player.

God yeah, he's not just a player who keeps a Goalkeeper company as he waits for the ball to come to him so he can stick it in the net - Yet nor do I think is he a player who could pick the ball up in midfield, run through a bunch of players and finish a bit like Gallagher against Derby
Would be remiss of me to ignore his workrate though, have seen him an endless amount of times playing as a Right-Back to clear the ball this season

Some healthy competition developing me thinks. Bonne probably liking the feeling of being the striker hero and not keen to play second fiddle to Lyle.
Wonder what those medical grounds are - Hope he's not injured!!!

Taylor both takes a lot of attention away from MB and sets him up.
Grounded & really wants to play for our club!
