saint si Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Dickson went off early for orient yesterday, presumably injured. His twitter suggests so...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 In my opinion, Harding's poor clearance led directly to their goal. I agree, I thought he panicked and with a little bit of composure could have cleared to ball further up the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 7 March, 2012 Share Posted 7 March, 2012 When Harding plays he likes to get forward with the ball and cross from the byline, which allows Adam to drift inside and take up a position just outside the box, meaning he can run at his marker there and either slip a ball through to someone in the area or have a shot from an angle. It's a different type of wing play, and Adam plays better in a system like that I think. He plays really well with Fox but naturally he drifts inside so with Harding out wide he can take up his more natural position and cause the opposition defence some problems. I still prefer Fox though, he is generally a cut above Harding and like I said, I hope he's back soon. Our wing play will be better with Harding? LMFAO.

Turkish Posted 7 March, 2012 Share Posted 7 March, 2012 Nope, Harding is defensively better than Fox, who's better suited to left mid due to his defensive deficiencies, but is never going to get a game there. He stands up more, doesn't commit to ground and is a better tackler on his feet. Harding's problems positionally are purely due to him having to overlap when he plays behind Lallana because his delivery isn't as good as Fox's and their styles are very different. He gets caught upfield because he's been told to overlap, just like Richardson, who never gets slated for not getting back when he's caught upfield. Fox doesn't EVER dribble the ball forward and rarely overlaps, but still manages to leave huge spaces in behind him sometimes. Simply put Fox is better with the ball, Harding without. I'm certainly not worried about Harding playing at left back if Fox is out, we won 5 of the first 6 games of the season with Harding playing there and he scored in the only one we lost. Harding is a better defender than Fox? LMFAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFKA South Woodford Posted 7 March, 2012 Share Posted 7 March, 2012 Harding better than Fox, if you still think that after last night, get yourself to the opticians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 8 March, 2012 Share Posted 8 March, 2012 Harding better than Fox, if you still think that after last night, get yourself to the opticians! Yep I was horrified when I saw Harding a) cross the halfway line in support of his winger b) actually tackle an opposition winger c) put a couple of acurate long passes right were Lee wanted them would be nice if Harding could actually take a set piece though he really is pants at corners and free kicks and his second half performance was less than steller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn't have seen that if it weren't for Harding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFKA South Woodford Posted 8 March, 2012 Share Posted 8 March, 2012 You left out 'let Chopra get inside him which led to the fantastic save from Kelvin'. We wouldn't have seen that if it weren't for Harding. And you left out letting the ball drop instead of dealing with it, admittedly the rest of the defence is also guilty of this from time to time but it's a more regular occurence from harding. He is also so one footed that if he didn't need his right foot for standing on, he might as well not have one. It's useless to him where kicking is concerned. If the ball comes to him on his right foot he needs not one or two but three touches to control it and has the turning circle of a super tanker on his right side. At least Fox has control of both of his feet and can play the ball with either of them, add that to his set piece delivery and his crossing ability and it's a 'No contest' in my view. Harding had an excuse against Leicester, his second half performance against Ipswich when he was playing in 'his' position reminded me of his performance in the Leicester game.
