Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

[mhead bee]

Thought he made his usual good runs Saturday but didn’t want to get involved in anything physical,maybe he is near to moving on.Maupay offers more imho and has got the monkey off his back.

i though he was a right nuisance, he ran at them, got the ball into his feet ad fired off about 4-5 shots, some a bit wayward but he was trying to score. He will start Saturday for definite.

 

[Mr Cynical]

Interesting that Marcus Gayle a few weeks ago said that Nico was a more natural right back than central midfielder. Not sure I agree but then WENGER also came to that conclusion as well

Nico’s miles better in midfield and hope we get him back challenging for a spot there soon. IMHO Nico’s best at buzzing around in midfield, winning the ball and making those lovely late runs into the box and we’ve missed that at times (though Mokotjo did a good job on sat without ever threatening any end product). I think his distribution lets him down a bit at right back though he’s generally pretty solid..

Pretty much agree with all this to be honest. Just think hat's off to him and Barbet for doing a bloody excellent job in the full back berths all things considered .

 

[IDontBeeLieveIt]

I'd say Woods is deceptively quick, and Lasse has got to be up there. Henrik has also got to be in with a shout?

In that he's deceived you into thinking he's quick by his little leggies moving rapidly? :tongue:

Yes agree, Nico's had practiced getting into the box and it was beginning to work

Must be getting a bit worried about missing out on World Cup place....

No international matches till March, so he has time to get fit and play again.

Impression I got from the latest update was that he's fit now.....The way we're playing at the moment, he's unlikely to force his way back into the side.....

I’d put him in ahead of Nico and Josh, when he’s ready. Maybe a B game soon? Then look at Nico back in the middle if Kamo doesn’t do as well?

Agreed, with his height he gives extra dimension. The way Kano is improving would keep him in front of Nico. Still 10 days to go in the transfer window.

Not sure you would break up a winning team at the moment. Ease Henrik back when you've got to change the team's through injury or suspension.

This is the most nonsense statement that I have never understood.

You play your best team when you can, imo.

If Dalsgaard is fit and ready, he plays.

 

[halibutbee64]

You're superior as ever.
You know exactly what I mean.

 

[jlove]

The time to change a winning team is while it's winning; simple rotation of one or two players at a time. Changing as a knee-jerk reaction to defeat is bad management.

With the squad we currently have fully support changing the odd player. Regularly done in the Premiership. Still potentially 20 games to go. A lot can still happen with injuries, suspensions, etc. Maybe DS is just waiting to see who is around 1st Feb to assess the last 1/3 of the season, with fresh legs. With the players on the bench and coming back from injury, really looking hopeful we can get near the play offs.

 

[No_sting_Bee]

The policy is even true during the game no changes unless forced (If ahead)

 

[JANORAK]

Later today then. O.S. says 1st teamers needing minutes will feature. Any that don’t will fuel transfer speculation!

If you don't understand it how do you know it's nonsense? ?

 

[the beast]

Needs to start at derby . Nico has done well at right back but his crossing is shocking. Also we need him back in the middle

 

[GP200]

.............slotted straight back in and gave pace down the wing...........

 

[Pauly Paul]

Kept getting beat by Anya over 5 yards but looked good going forward. Will improve as games get played.

 

[BaildonBee]

Outstanding effort today to dig deep and keep going first game back.

 

[Mr Tree]

Whipped in one stunning cross too (first half). Good to have him back.

 

[Mr Cynical]

We looked much more of a threat down the right with him getting forward, forgotten how good his crossing can be

...........yep,quick and gets to the bye- line.................

 

[Balders Bee]

Loves to get forward and wins a great deal of headers and a couple of powerful runs today though no end product but it is the defensive side of his game does worry me. Gets the wrong side of his man a lot and gives away a fair number of fouls in dangerous positions. Got beaten easily for the cross that led to PNE's goal.

He's obviously coming back from injury and still getting used to the Championship, but on average I think his performances haven't been as good as those of Clarke and Yennaris at RB.

 

[North London Bee]

Nice assist for our goal today. Decent game

For what it is worth going forward I'd agree, defensively I would not.

still got time - reckon he'll be really tasty for us next season

 

[Stanley]

Thought he did well. His height and strength is a big outlet for us. Good to see him back.

 

[No_sting_Bee]

Just put up front. Back up target man. Was once a forward?

 

[jlove]

Like Mepham needs Bjelland alongside him, Dalsgaard need Mepham.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Like Mepham needs Bjelland alongside him, Dalsgaard need Mepham.

Have they ever played together?

 

[jlove]

Derby.

Dalsgaard is adventurous and Mepham is much quicker to read the game and react.

 

[HertfordBee]

I don't think he's yet shown he was a good signing but yesterday was definitely one of his better games.

 

[grandad85]

Gives away to many needless fouls! At least 3 times yesterday he fouled the left back who was facing his own goal with no where to go - giving them the easy way out!!

I’m not sure he’s a right back as he is not great at defending. He’s a bit too rash for me. Not too keen on him at all to be fair.

.............good in the air, quick going forwards..............lots to loike..............

 

[Pauly Paul]

We have to think of him in the likes of Moses and Clarkey. A striker converted to right back.

 

[badgerbee]

.....is he off to Bristol City??.....

 

[Mr Tree]

i like Henrik, but...

what is going at 3:00 here?



imagine if we'd conceded! he'd have been strung up for unprofessionalism, dereliction of duty etc...

lucky...

Back leg gives way on the pitch, so the ball accidentally smacks him in the face it looks like, and is a bit zoned out it appears. Bit like a punch when you're expecting it versus "not being set".

 

[Bixer]

Not a huge fan of his attitude at times if I’m honest. It’s not the first time it’s happened (I specifically remember him doing the same before one of Forest’s goals at Griffin Park earlier in the season), but he often weirdly seems to just give up the second he loses the ball and makes absolutely no attempt to try and regain it when it would be quite possible for him to do so.

He definitely did it today in the second half. Gave the ball away high up the pitch and then made no effort to get back. He had a really poor first half and got marginally better in the second half.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

He just looks too uptight and self-critical to me. Good player and very good prospect, but needs to believe in himself a bit more and relax. May be wrong.

My son said something similar at the game, he reckoned Dalsgaard was getting wound up every time he did something wrong and was then trying too hard to put it right. Very astute for a 9 month old baby.

 

[Pauly Paul]

Delivered some great crosses that Neil Warnock would have loved.

I think that's right......looks like he sometimes pauses in a fit of frustration if something doesn't work out.
Not sure about the prospect bit though as he's 28
Crossing is generally top draw as someone else mentions.
Wonder if the mental part is something a shrink/mental coach could do anything about or something that's firmly engrained by now.
