Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

[rhbee]

Early days as he is still settling, but I am afraid he had an absolute stinker today

Care to explain why?

 

[mhead bee]

Backs should defend. Why have they got to do two jobs. Let the wingers do the attacking. We have let in too many goals over the last couple of years.
Maybe having wing-backs does not work.

After 30 years of watching this formation flourish in world football and watching clogging defenders turn into decent players who can also attack and having seen brentford deploy it successfully in the last few years you want to drop all the attacking from full backs and decide it doesn't work all based upon a couple of unlucky defeats.

 

[mhead bee]

I quite like this player but my only concern is that his final ball has been crap since he joined.

 

[Cbee]

Very poor yesterday. He clearly isn't a right back. Colin has to be first choice without any doubt.

I think he could turn out like some of other overseas signings. A good player that needs to adapt to the demands of the championship. HD has qualities, but at the moment Colin is miles ahead as a pure full back, and we have been missing his link up play with Jota. Not sure what the whole story in this signing was, as the original rumours had Colin moving on.!

 

[shouldbee]

I was impressed with him in the pre-season games and thought he would become the first choice RB, however I think our back 4 looked far more solid when Colin was in there. I would like to see him back in when Rico returns.

 

[BaildonBee]

The Colin, Jota combination just works. Henrik is a different player to Colin and will no doubt develop a better understanding with Jota (if he stays). He is more cavalier than Colin certainly which probably looks better in a winning team. Colin isn't exactly a reluctant attacker. Surprised that he is apparently second choice at RB now as I think he is a class act.

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

Agree entirely with the two posts above. Dalsgaard looks a very decent player in his own right but we lack the synergy you get between Maxine and Jota and I'm not sure we look as solid a defensive unit with Dalsgaard there.

Our continuing defensive frailty is probably the most disappointing aspect so far and I'd revert to the back four which ended last season when Rico returns to see whether a bit of continuity makes us more robust.

We are still too open through the middle of the park as well and both these aspects need looking at very quickly as I'm sure the hope was that they'd have been addressed during the close season.

 

[TadB]

Looks pretty average to me. If we'd picked him up on a free transfer or for a nominal fee I don't think anyone would have an issue. But for a million quid you might expect a little more?

In any case, Colin is a better right back but we need him at LB for the time being.

Was the Transfer Fee disclosed then?

Weird, I've seen him put in some brilliant balls, last match is the only match I've missed tho and maybe he had a bad game.

In the Denmark WCQ squad

 

[hanworthbee]

Don't rate this fella.....

 

[HertfordBee]

Don't rate this fella.....

Hate to agree so early into his career, but neither do I! A mistake waiting to happen, I think.

 

[wanderer paul]

Struggling. Ok at times and really poor at other times. Nowhere near Maxi's quality.

 

[big neil]

He's not as good as Colin, that's blatantly obvious.

 

[LingfieldBee]

Left exposed by Jota all game, so don't think fair to criticise too much when he had no help.

 

[Cbee]

Very poor indeed.

 

[hanworthbee]

Having no help doesn't excuse his constant poor decision making.....

 

[Bill Benn]

Like him,he bailed out our central defenders in the first half to prevent a good one on one chance falling to their striker.Had crap support today.

 

[jonsnow]

Left exposed by Jota all game, so don't think fair to criticise too much when he had no help.

Yeah cos Jota always helped Colin didn't he

 

[jlove]

Caught out quite a few times but one brilliant last-ditch tackle. We need Henry back, though.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Curate's egg. One or two decent runs, an excellent cross in the second half which Maupay should have gambled on, and a welcome presence in the air to help Bentley out when punting forwards. But his first touch is poor he often plays blind, panicky passes.

 

[GP200]

............looks good going forward but defensively lacking at the moment............wins his fair share of headers.........

 

[KcBee]

Poor game and he knew it. Positionally all over the place, dived in a few times and had a poor touch. Not a patch on Colin so far from the evidence.

Absolutely.

 

[Mr Tree]

obviously, we'll know where we stand with Maxi by the time of the next game. if Maxi stays and Rico's back too, this guy is our reserve right-back. he's pretty good for a reserve right-back :shrug:

some ghastly positioning, tucking in too far at times, but Wolves had a fair few of those in-between sort of forwards.

 

[Sutton Bee]

I like the guy but today wasn't up to scratch, a couple of flimsy half hearted challenges that did nothing but leave him exposed and out of position, then when he should be busting a guy to get back in and regroup he's stood watching the game go past him. He's a quality player, I'd feel more comfortable with him on the wing, what you may get away with in Belgium you won't get away with in the championship. Overcommitted himself a few times as well, 5/10 today

 

[rhbee]

Noticed that he got a bit of a rollicking off both Dean and Jota today, around half time.

 

[BFC1997]

Didn't get a lot of help from Jota today. Wasn't the greatest defensive display individually from Dalsgaard though.

Good going forward.

 

[grutter]

Wondered what all the fuss was about. We got away with it 1st half. I assume that was his worst game for us?

 

[sonofabee]

Looks like we know who the scapegoat is this season now that Sawyers has become Seedorf over three games!
Unbelievable what a bunch of fickle knobbers some on here are at times.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He was very exposed. He is very obviously an outlet for us and as such has to play quite high. He has no experience in this division. Please let's not make him a scapegoat, let him at least settle and learn.

 

[whyteleafebee76]

He had a poor first half but I thought he was better in the second half. No need for any flak and he has certainly shown that he brings plenty of positives to the team.

 

[beebopalula]

Not his finest moments today. However, he had zero protection. Jota was nowhere to be seen.

 

[IDontBeeLieveIt]

Real tough one, an attacking asset, much needed height and physicality, but dives in too much and misses it seems to me. In his defence though he's getting little cover as other say tho.
Useful option to have but think Colin edges him when Rico is back.

 

[IDontBeeLieveIt]

Was a bit tw*ttish not to give them the ball back after they knocked it out (eventually) for the injury tho. Not sure what that was all about (his decision or under instruction)....surely it's the same in the leagues he's played?

 

[Malcybee]

Probably something to do with them initially playing in after they won possession.

 

[IDontBeeLieveIt]

I did see that but it was still a bit off imo as they did knock it out when in possession. I still believe the sporting thing to do regardless would be to chuck it back to their keeper (or chuck it out for a goal kick etc).

Their bloke went down. We played on, as did the ref. Then they gained the ball and continued to play on, despite their player still down. They could have kicked it out then, but didn't. We got the ball back, then gave it away again and it was only then they kicked it out.

He was right not to throw it back imo.

 

[Stanley]

Needs more gradual introduction to this league, his ability in the air is an added bonus but Colin looks in good form and I would play him at RB against Villa if RH is back.

Disagree but then I'm obviously nicer than you

To our opponents. :yes:

After you, Claude! Bit like our defence sometimes!

Yeah - it's a rare few of us that can comment impartially rather than letting our support bias us :tongue:

We originally played on as the ref told us to, we lost it and they attacked, when we regrouped they kicked it out. Had they not tried to attack before we shut them down we probably would have given it back but as they only kicked it out because their own attack had petered out we thought sod them. Personally think we should have given it back, a bit embarrassing really.

Exactly. Common courtesy is to return it when someone kicks it out to let a player be treated when they're under no real direct pressure (which they weren't at that moment).
We'd have been calling them all sorts of names if they'd done it to us (and especially if they scored like we nearly did).
Not a high point.

 

[Bill Benn]

Excellent signing tall,quick and good in the tackle unfortunately for some on here has to be faultless every game at least it's taken the pressure off Sawyers for a while.

 

[Brandy]

Agreed, there's parts of his game he needs to work on, but overall I've seen enough to be believe he's strengthened our squad. We finally have a target from goal kicks, which is a plus point in itself! He won most of his aerial duels on Saturday. Whether or not he's a better choice in the RB position than Colin, I'm not convinced yet.....At least we have adequate cover and competition in that position now.

How many games has he played ?

Could hear HD from New Road telling him not to give it back
