CanadaSaint Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 We also need to bear in mind that he played for almost an hour without our established left sided CD alongside him. With that, and us being stretched because we were a player short, the odds were very much against him playing well, but he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santolijador Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Thought he was pretty decent, shades of a left-sided Kieran Trippier - solid in defence, a little bit less exciting than our other options going forward, but nonetheless a good squad player and will have a role to play in the coming games/years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall did well, we seem to have gone from being shite in the full back positions to it being arguably our strongest area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 29 December, 2021 Share Posted 29 December, 2021 He was good yesterday, not brilliant but sound. He is a better defender than Tino (as is KWP) but not as good attacking (though his crosses are on par). If he can get the attacking side of his game right then we have a very good left sided full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 29 December, 2021 Share Posted 29 December, 2021 Decent squad player. Solid but unspectacular. Just the sort of person you need around to cover injuries and suspensions while giving an option for rotating when necessary. Full back is such an important position we really don't want to be going back to playing a CB or Djenepo there. Unfortunately for Perraud there's a chance that Small will hurdle him for a first team place at some point because he seems to have the pace and dribbling ability the modern full back needs especially in the system we play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if we wouldn't be better off having kwp in his natural rb position with peraud on the left and trying tino higher up. I'd really like to see us try that some time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 29 December, 2021 Share Posted 29 December, 2021 Might have said it before (but can’t be bothered to look it up) Perraud is one of Lawrie Mac’s “roadsweepers” no fancy Dan stuff just a workhorse with a good paced engine to get up and down the line, when he gets to the goal line you know he is looking whip the ball over into the mixer. I like him and it does add more fuel to the fire for giving KWP and Tino a spin up the right, that would likely make our right side a nightmare for the oppos. To my mind the left back position wouldn’t be weakened with Perraud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite bizarre (in a good way) the Club has two top quality RBs a very competent LB and a young LB in Small rapidly putting himself into the frame.

HKsaint Posted 30 December, 2021 Share Posted 30 December, 2021 It appears that our full back (livermento, KWP, Perraud, varley and Small) is strongest in our recent history. They can be our power house, running up and down on the left and right all day and getting substituted after half time when they are tired. To fully utilise our strong full back, we need a target man with good headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather have a defender who is better at defending than a defender who is not so good at defending but better at attacking. The clue for me is in the word 'defender'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd rather see Tino sprinting into space down the right from a ball played down the line than trying to pick his way through a crowded area where he is often dispossessed or forced to turn back and recycle the ball. For me his danger is as a marauder pushing back the opposition full back and he has the skill and pace to do that whilst helping cover his full back partner. His attributes are a bit wasted at present because I don't think he's a great defender although he may improve on that front. He is made to play in front of KWP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been me. His asset is running from deep and dragging us up the field. For me, that gets nullified by him starting 30 yards up field, and in a position that's alien to him. That said, I reckon he could do a job up and I wouldn't mind seeing it, especially in a 4141 where the wide men have a different role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 30 December, 2021 Share Posted 30 December, 2021 I think he's good. He's unlucky to not be starting tbh. Our best rb is also unlucky to be playing out of position. Really need to shift Livramento to the bench or playing him further forward imo. He's been bang average for weeks now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 23 January, 2022 Share Posted 23 January, 2022 Having a natural left footer who’s pretty solid defensively really helps Salisu because he can concentrate on his CD role without having to worry too much about covering the LB area. I love KWP but having Perraud there gives us more balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 January, 2022 Share Posted 23 January, 2022 I loved the bit at the end when he and Forster embraced. Perraud didn’t even come up to Fraser’s chin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very impressed with Perraud last night. And with KWP showing what we have missed defensively on the other side AND contributing to our attack, I would be very surprised if Tino automatically gets his place back when he's fit. With a back 4 of Perraud, Salisu, KWP and any one of Bednarek, Stephens or Lyanco, our defence looks so much better than it was this time last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWar Posted 23 January, 2022 Author Share Posted 23 January, 2022 Such a good depth option. Having a player who would a genuinely fine starter for midtable sides behind two fullbacks who can push for europe (KWP and Tino) is absolutely mad as an upgrade from last season when we had to play Bertrand as first choice LB and our depth options were out of position CBs.

Ralph, it looks similar to euros but to be honest I normally pay by card Pep, I meant my international winger Raheem Ralph, I will ask the kitman to look in Perrauds pocket Pep, also Girlish has asked can he have a signed Romeu shirt?
