    If this thread doesn't go to show that some fans just cannot exist without having a player to single out for stick, I don't know what does. Lewis Page has been perfectly decent this season, and very good at times. He was guilty of switching off a bit late on vs Sunderland costing us a point, but one goal causing error hardly constitutes a "litany of half-wit half-baked lightweight dross". He's a better crosser than anyone else at the club, and when we play the diamond formation offers nearly all our attacking width with Solly less able to get up and down the pitch like he used to.

    I seriously do not know what some people expect of a young player in League 1.

    I think It's better if we just slag all our players off as they've all made mistakes this season and none of them are perfect.

    "Unbelievable scenes here in Scunthorpe tonight where a group of confused, and presumably drunk, feminist protestors have invaded the pitch and beaten Charlton left back, and number 3, Lewis Page to death with rolled up copies of the Sun newspaper!"

    Get booked tomorrow, have an 18 day rest until Barnsley at home. Surely we can cope without him against Coventry if it will help him and us long term?

    I seriously do not know what some people expect of a young player in League 1.

    I feel like that's the general consensus though. I'd say he's looked off the last couple games but we know he's carrying a knock. And I don't think he's been terrible. It's already been mentioned but he covers a tremendous amount of ground on that left hand side and it's to his immense credit.

    He's what, 21/22? And there are things to work on in his game. Consistent crossing accuracy. Staying switched on. Back post marking/headers. But he looks a good young player with a big upside and since he came into the team last season after missing a full calendar year he's never looked out of place.

    Have to agree, Saturday he didn't play that well which is understandable if he's carrying an injury, but overall he's been good this season so far, as haven't really missed Dasilva who was player of year last season.

    Prefer Page to Dasilva who defensively was found wanting. Dasilva is still not getting a starting place at Bristol City.

    FFS there's nothing good about Naby Sarr playing left back, he's terrifying at centre half, at left back he makes Lewis Page look competent - for the avoidance of doubt LP is way up the list of hopeless recent(ish) left backs just below Seabourne and Matt Frey (last seen nowhere nearly good enough for Conference South) - a couple of OK performances from LP this season and that wonder goal last season do not begin to outweigh the litany of half-wit half-baked lightweight dross he's served up over the last year or more; to say nothing of his piss poor fitness record.
    We'll have far fewer scares with a back four more like: Dijksteel, Pratley, Pearce, Solly - not to say there won't be plenty of scares from such a makeshift line up


    1. Naby Sarr is far better than people give him credit for. WE ARE NOT IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE ANYMORE! People's opinions are tainted because of a couple of mistakes he made first coming to us and where he came from and of course the woman who signed him.

    2. Matt Fry came to us injured and that injury has plagued him ever since. He has never gone on to fulfil the undoubted potential he had as a teenager.

    3. Lewis Page is better than Jay DaSilva at defending, maybe not as good breaking out of defence or dribbling, but I know which I prefer for a LB win tackles, intercept and block crosses.

    4. A back four consisting of two central midfielders a centre back prone to giving away penalties under pressure and a right full back at left full back where he has struggled previously?

    These four things tell me you completely fail to understand our current position, football positions and even what makes a good player.

    Gonna maybe question this one - JDS was really, really good at tackling, intercepting and blocking crosses! He sometimes struggled in the air and getting caught too high up the pitch, but as a one-on-one defender he was excellent

    Yeah it was only really being caught out of position that JDS sometimes struggled with, and even then he had the pace to rectify it.

    That said, you can be a decent to great defender without being quite as good as JDS and a fit Page certainly fits that category for me.

    Yeah you're both probably right there, I only saw him 4/5 times at the game and more on iFollow.

    Both Page and JDS can get caught out of position, but so did Morgan Fox.

    And I don't think the system we've played in recent helps full backs defensively. The Curbs/Powell 442 with wide midfielders sticking to their side and tracking back gives cover to the full backs, whereas with 4231 and diamond midfields, especially with wide midfielders who "wander" the full back can get outnumbered.

    I like Page a lot, he's much better defensively than Da Silva and is the kind of player that will really get stuck in for the cause, has a bit of nastiness about him too which we need in this league. I do believe his crossing is extremely poor for a modern day left back though.

    I think he has put some excellent crosses in for this season, hence why he has a few assists.

    His crossing was awful on Saturday but to be fair has been decent in most other games this season

    he has 2 - one of which was an own goal from a cross where he didn't beat the first man and it was inexplicably sliced into the defenders own net.

    It’s league one chaps. If you have a full back that’s great at getting forward and crossing then it’s certain that defensively he will be suspect and visa versa. Anything different and he’d be playing in The Championship. Page is pretty decent all rounder at our level. It’s what you get with the majority of league one players.

    So a dangerous cross that was difficult to defend? That's not a bad thing.

    Page is a decent player for us, he's young enough to keep improving and could step up to the Championship in time.

    I like him going forward, especially compared to Fox who was uncomfortable running with the ball.

    Yeah with him I think it's more about consistency. He definitely has the ability to put a very good ball in, but sometimes his accuracy isn't great. Again, what you expect from a young League One fullback.
