Exactly, his round one game was good but certainly nothing outstanding, did only what would be expected. The next week he didn’t back it up, Myers is strong around the ball, CONSISTANTLY he brings other players into the game with his body work and positioning around the ball. We are severely lacking in this department when he doesn’t play.
We need big body’s that can plough through and pave a path, and protect the your young lighter mids. Langford is not providing that. If you don’t drop Langford, to get Myers in. Who do you drop in our midfield?
I for one think that young players should have a little more leeway in terms of meeting on field KpI’s. Especially players like Langford who aren’t getting consistent game time and learning a new role.
But if it is like you say about meeting team kpi’s then I would question our kpi’s in general. We underperform across a lot of important areas and have done so for a long time.
I’m no Langford fan and I was livid with his performance last week. But I would have persisted with him for this week. Players (especially young players) can have an off week, and I thought a few weeks is fair to give him a proper run at things.
Too soft. He’s got the skills and size, he’s just soft. Imagine if he had little Will Hams intensity.
Myers is slow, one sided and can’t mark but he’s tough; he blocks, tackles and contests which is why he’s straight in and Langford is straight out.
