TLT

[drfchound]

You could see he wasn’t too happy with the fans.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it was a bit of an awkward celebration. No one really ran to him after the final miss, and then his celebration was to pick up a ball and smash it into the stands then go get his towel and walk off?

I get that it’s not cool to over celebrate in this particular cup but surely he deserved the players to mob him rather than demurely commiserate with the Huddersfield team.

He appeared to need to be coaxed by Bailey to do some fist pumps at the end.

We also didn’t see the usual goal celebration from Billy after he put his penalty away in the first half.
If that had been in a league game he would have been much more demonstrative.
I agree that TLT didn’t make too much of a big deal about his efforts but wasn’t surprised when he didn’t get mobbed by the other players.
Goals, saves and wins don’t get the same response by players in this competition as they do in league games  do they.
Maybe a semi final win or a win at Wembley if we get there might be different.

Billy went and shushed their fans when he scored.

Yea, I saw that Gaz but it was nothing like his usual celebration’s was it.

Saw him boot the ball but he celebrated afterwards and so did the players. People trying to find an issue where there isnt one. The lad probably has pent up frustration of the shit our "fans" were giving him and also frustrated at not being first choice. Probably a relief as much as happiness essentially for him. Bear in mind he is only 22, 23 on Friday. Still young.

He's entirely typical of pretty much all the squad. Some obvious talent but wildly inconsistent. McCann obviously signed them all but it must be the devil's own job to try and get an XI on any given day that can all be playing well at same time. Rarely happens and then you have someone like Bailey who is consistent, stands out like a sore thumb.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I think it's fine for younger players to be inconsistent, I think people do forget the age of McGrath and TLT for example and they playing at this level for the first time have shown that inconsistency. But I'd expect both to be stronger next season.

I like TLT he's going to learn a lot from this season probably to show better elsewhere unfortunately.

Loan players should be the icing on the cake. Agree on McGrath, I think he’s not up to this level but at least there’s a potential upside to carrying on playing him. TLT has to be good here and now. All the loanees had to be and they weren’t which is why they were sent back, TLT would’ve been as well if we could have.

I reckon TLT will be here next season

In general with TLT, he has been going through a bit of a rocky patch, kind of lost his way with progressing, but that happens with even the greatest. He has the potential to make it far in the game, fingers crossed.

I did at first think he was at fault for their goal in a manner I've seen with him a few times. On watching the vid a few times, I noticed the ball bounce at that awkward distance in front of him, seeming to go skidding through on the wet, and/or even a small surface deflection, Can't recall how much he might have been unsighted? Still  saveable, but excusable too.
