S-Clarke Posted 26 August, 2023 Share Posted 26 August, 2023 He was just what I remembered him to be at Bournemouth, quick, direct, nippy - an absolute pain in the backside to defend against. He impacted the game as soon as he came on. I've never been quite sure why fans have been so down on him. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Oh! 🙂 His directness immedaitely on coming on turned made all the difference today. Can only look forward to not only more of that, but the others working with his capabilities and knowing the spaces they can move into, to get on the end of things/ create chances for themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 August, 2023 Share Posted 26 August, 2023 Excellent start, affected them game, injected some much needed directness and looked up for it. The thing I like about him is the way he demands the ball & the runs he makes make it easy to pick him out. Obviously too early to get too excited but from that short glimpse he could be a real asset. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was you that said he'd be a refreshing change from some of the 'mincing' we do on the wing, and he was exactly that. Good old fashioned wing play which seems to be pretty important in this RM system 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted 26 August, 2023 Share Posted 26 August, 2023 Agree, caused all sorts of problems for the QPR defence when he came on, him and Adam Armstrong like a Luchador midget tag team! Great to see, we just need that target man now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 27 August, 2023 Share Posted 27 August, 2023 In hindsight he probably should have started instead of the young nipper. Will become a regular starter IMO and I’ve no problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulwantsapint81 Posted 27 August, 2023 Share Posted 27 August, 2023 Not going to be popular but could Fraser put ball on to Tall Paul‘s head to either score or knock down for Adam Armstrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_SFC Posted 27 August, 2023 Share Posted 27 August, 2023 Spoke to my Bournemouth supporting pal last night and he reckons he'll be one of the best wingers in the league. He said he turned into a bit of a billy big bollocks for them and downed tools, but when his head is right he can be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A natural striker would have been sniffing in that area, but we didn't have any natural strikers out there who anticipate those sort of things. Hopefully we see that in the door in the next few days.

Micky Posted 28 August, 2023 Share Posted 28 August, 2023 Looked a class above when he came on, but we need players to get onto his end product, hopefully they will learn quickly that he can deliver.

goodymatt Posted 28 August, 2023 Share Posted 28 August, 2023 Trying not to get ahead of myself here but i have to admit Ryan Fraser didn’t take long yesterday to convince me he’s going to be a great signing. I had my doubts about lack of game time, attitude, motivation at this level and big wages. Obviously we need to see him deliver for us on a regular basis but the early signs are that he actually improves the starting 11, rather than is a useful squad player. Very happy to have my concerns proven wrong, long may that continue. Holgate hasn’t kicked a ball yet but I’m trusting he might do the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, agree. He looked like a missing piece of the jigsaw in his debut... That elusive link-up player between midfield and attack. But he's looked pretty ordinary and ineffectual ever since... maybe Martin didn't like how direct he was in his debut and knocked that trait out of him sharpish...
