SuperSAINT Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Agree DD. Thought he looked quite quick & direct when he came on. Was much better than Chappy who had a 'mare I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenue Saint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Give this boy a run, allow him to settle in the team and he will be one USEFUL player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 I've always liked him - he's our only right winger that seems to want to get to the byline. Puncheon has mysteriously disappeared again, Chaplow shows effort but prefers to cut in, and Guly doesn't seem to want to put in decent performance anymore. Whatever league we end up in next season, we need major surgery on that position. De Ridder may not be the perfect right winger, but he's the best we've got for now. I'd start him.

CanadaSaint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 He looked pretty good going forward and gave us width, but he needs to make an earlier decision to attack the byline. He's got the speed and skill to do it. Still, after what he did to them on their ground, they had 2-3 guys on him right away. His best contribution for me, though, was actually defensive - when he caught Roberts from 10-20 yards back when we looked dead and buried on their counter-attack.

dubai_phil Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Agree DD there was only one occassion where he didn't actually get a ball into the box. You could critique him that not enough balls got past the 2nd defender but then that was the fault of the support players. Also thought Guly did well in CM - not his normal position and although I (like everyone else in the pub) was baying for him to get into the box, he was clearly under orders and covering for Hammond who looked like his legs had gone.

S-Clarke Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 He was more involved than Chaplow, who had a mare and it was nice to see some natrual width out there. I still personally think he flatters to deceive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Someone needs to get hold of him and coach him to stop turning back in on himself through the right hand side. Other than that, looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepgar Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 A the end of the day he WAS getting the ball in the box, it is up to the rest of the team to be there to meet it. If he was crossing the ball and the keeper was using it as catching practice I could understand the comments. So I would like to see him get a run for the final games.

Saint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 This is the problem with so many people. (For the record I though he looked great when he came on.) Back to the problem. People seem to want every player to do everything. They want De Ridder to dribble round 3 players and score. They want Guly, Chaplow, Lallana and Cork to do the same. Do you think this is Barcelona we're watching? They are going to make mistakes and have bad games. Please don't jump on their backs because they don't perform amazingly 100% of the time. It's a team game and everyone has a role to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channonball Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 You must have been watching a different game to everyone sitting near me.

L1Minus10 Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Thought he was rubbish to be honest. Has no idea how to make space for himself and it's only 1 in 10 crosses that finds a Saints player. Some decent skill but the pace is nullified by the lack of brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourno Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 De Ridder is most effective coming off the bench in the 2nd half and running at the opposition. When he starts he is more cautious and doesn't attack the full backs. I tweeted him this a few weeks back and he replied that he can't run at them every time as he wouldn't have the energy - hence I was right impact player off the bench 20 minutes to go.

Huffton Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 I'd like to see him drive directly into the box a bit more, his pace would terrify defenders and he he doesn't score he will win penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandwichsaint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Shocking today, unbelievable that a player at this level can only kick with one foot! Reading showed him inside every time and he didn't have the capability to do anything with it. Antonio plus another two years development with team-Nige would have been a far better option.

Lighthouse Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 He looked pretty decent tonight, certainly offered more than Lallana IMO. He got a few decent crosses in, unlike the others who just played the same high floating ball in to the back post, which was either easily caught or went out for a goal kick. He also won a few corners getting in behind and putting a cross in and worked space well for Butters. De Ridder wasn't the problem, far from it. Reading just wanted it more and we gifted them 3 goals through carelessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 but they never what so ever were you asleep at the numerous crosses he put in....had their keeper making saves? He got outside three or four times and hit lollipop floaters every time - I didn't see any of his crosses hit one of our players - their keeper must have thought he was back down at the training ground second half - has he had an easier second half all season? Our goal was a deflection, which he probably had covered, and I can't remember him making a proper save second half ... SDR ain't very good ... get over it.

Crazy Diamond Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Takes on many players, then has no space to cross. Sometimes will get into a shooting position, doesn't score.

Chez Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 he's annoying. He has real ability, great tricks and pace as well, but time after time he takes 15 touches when two would do, fails to beat the first man from a cross, eats the fullbacks space, stops and goes round and round when a quick turn and drive straight would cause far more problems. He's frustrating because you just know he can do almost anything he wants to do with the ball, but he seems to just try too hard. More than happy with his effort and often his impact. I just want more from him. Hopefully we'll get it in the next three games. Wrong sub last night. Chaplow had just found his feet nearly scored and although not having a great game was making the runs we needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M271 Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 I thought De Ridder did OK and in my opionion after Lambert was our best player in the 2nd half, at least when he got the ball I felt that something could happen, but then I like players who run at the opposition rather than looking for a sideways or backwards pass. The whole team lacked invention and ideas after the 2nd Reading goal. I have been told by people who were watching the match on TV that the ref had a word with Adkins that Chaplow was close to be sent off (could have had a 2nd booking) and the substitution was made shortly afterwards.

Graffito Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 Reading simply doubled up on him forcing him too often to pass back to Butterfield to lob crosses from deep that were easier for their centre backs to defend than crosses from the byline. Consequently, but for one decent cross from the byline, he was largely ineffective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 He seems a bit negative to me. He doesn't like to run at defenders or use his pace, he's always turning backwards instead of getting to the touchline and putting a cross in. His crossing is quite poor. I know Reading doubled up on him but he was up against Harte, who let's be fair has never been the quickest, but he should have known that and used his pace against him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
