Surprised he lasted until 88 minutes, would have liked to have seen more of Reid if that was the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creepy Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 He was magnificent against Brentford. Awful today. It happens. he must save his bad games for me then because what ive seen of him he is :censored:e and that miss for a striker was criminal his first touch is/was poor, he cant hit a barn door, the only thing he has got is strength, Reid did more than him for the 5 mins or so he was on the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The reason people like him is because he is obviously a bastard to play against and brings our flair players into the game with his hold-up play. I don't think he will be an out and out goal scorer, he misses far too many for that, if you think of him as a lower league Emile Heskey that's about right. Excpet if a few years time he has the potential to be better than the likes of Heskey/Crouch. For me, if Tounkara scores his player rating is automatically an 8, for lots of our other players the same doesn't apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 dont really understand the praise he gets on here that Ronnie Rosenthal miss today was diabolical, as was his miss at Walsall He is overrated on here, admittedly. But he is a handful for most defences and can bring others into play, his finishing is terrible and he has missed a few sitters this season, if he wasn't a fans favourite he'd have been berated in a more justifiable fashion than Brill was. But if he could finish, along with his other attributes he'd be a very good player. That said I'd like to see him rested on the bench and Reuben Reid playing up front, let's see how we do without playing a target man to slow down our tempo and try and play the ball on the floor around the opposition box a bit more.

If you want dominance in the air then Tonk won't provide it. Aim for his chest boys, not 1 foot above his head. If you want somebody who can hold the ball up well and pull defences all over the place, and has a blistering turn of pace after his first two strides have been achieved ... Tonk's got it.

JoeP Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Think too much is being asked of him at the moment, to be honest. He's pretty much the centre-piece of our strikeforce and before he came here had little first-team experience. On Tuesday he looked knackered and, I would imagine it was the same today? He needs resting. ":censored:e" he certainly isn't.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Badger the Latic Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 dont really understand the praise he gets on here that Ronnie Rosenthal miss today was diabolical, as was his miss at Walsall he wouldnt have messed about with the ball on halfway in the 93rd min... not blaming reid for the conceded goal he only had 2 mins, linesman was conned, but it was avoidable.

Thats alot to ask of a player in his first professional season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 He gets away without getting abused for the misses due to the fact he works his knackers off every game. Even when things dont go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 he is 20, first season in senior football, being a pain in the arse for defences, chips in with a couple of goals. carnt complain really can you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's true.. He does miss too many decent chances but he's a grafter, we've scored a few goals and created a load of chances through him chasing lost causes. He runs himself into the ground and that's why I rate him as much as any other reason... Bit of a cliche but when you've paid your hard earned cash that's what you want.
