Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

[Guildford Bee]

Absolutely immense defensively and going forward

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Played well so far this year.

 

[beebopalula]

My MOM today. Best l've seen him play.

 

[Kingston Bee]

Another great performance. Hopefully we are trying to extend his stay, he just seems to get better.

 

[RoyBee]

MotM today. Immense.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Another great performance. Hopefully we are trying to extend his stay, he just seems to get better.

Got a feeling he will be heading back to Scandinavia. Great to see him playing well.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

I was embarrassed at the level of criticism aim at him last year bearing in mind he had no rest pre-season last year with the WC.

Yes the lack of pre season and WC was a huge drain on him, but IMO he put in some bog standard performances.

Anyway lets enjoy his good form.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

What a good lad!

 

[Mr Cynical]

Well. This is interesting. HD was brilliant today in bringing the ball out of defence and getting us playing.

He was the answer to our pressing problem of playing the ball out quicker and more accurately from the back.

Moving him over also allowed Canos to play in what’s looking like his best role as a RWB.

Will this work away from home when we are out under pressure?

I think it’s worth a try.

Exactly this. He was excellent there and the link up between him, Canos and Mbuemo down the right was v impressive

He did but as you mentioned his lack of pre-season and WC took it toil but when his name was on the team sheet was embarrassing reading some of the comments on twitter.

I have always rated him highly ....

 

[Mr Tree]

His strong tackle got us away for the first goal. Definitely want to see more of this setup - it looks like it's "worth the risk" for us...

 

[Frothybaby]

Outstanding yesterday. MOTM contender for me.

 

[cromerbee]

Been outstanding all season so far. Contract extension please!!!

 

[GP200]

Been outstanding all season so far. Contract extension please!!!

...............would be nice..............

 

[Delbee]

Class again yesterday, linked well with Jansson and Canos. There were a few time especially in the second half he brought the ball out well from defence into the Derby half

 

[The Pipe]

See Thomas rated him MoM

 

[Easter 1959]

Gotta be time for an Extension me thinks; luvely big bonus if we get to the Promised Land

 

[To Bee Someone]

Think hes been great this season so far

 

[Mr Cynical]

was that his best game ever for us? Gave us that ability to bring the ball out from defence that we'd been sorely lacking with Jeanvier, Jansson and Pinnock as the three.. Defensively superb too..

 

[wanderer paul]

Henrik earned Cap number 18 with Denmark, while a Bee (22 in total). Two more Caps to equal Buttigieg's Caps with Malta (20) while at Brentford.

 

[WisBee]

.......and at a vastly higher level too, both domestically (we were never anywhere near 'Championship' - or its then equivalent - level) and internationally (I can't recall Malta ever being in the World Cup finals) than when Buttigieg won his caps.........

 

[North London Bee]

A quick shout out to Henrik who I don't think always gets the recognition he deserves. He has done an exceptional job since joining us and replacing another very good player in Colin. He is the established first choice Denmark right back, a real leader and is now proving he can play centre back too.

What's not to like? Hope he stays beyond the end of this season.

Totally agree. One spell after WC where not at his best but other than than that, he's been excellent.

Agreed.
I'd say Colin had the edge defensively on the deck but Henrik's better in the air and contributes a lot going forward (whether crossing or winning knockdowns etc).

 

[ruislip bee]

He and Pontus first 2 on the team sheet for me.

 

[Beat Poet]

Wiki has him listed as the vice-captain, can't find a source to confirm it?

 

[banburybee]

So interesting to hear his take on the Stoke game and the project that TF is leading. No panic, it takes time so stick with us is the message and his confidence is infectious.
Keep the faith - usual moaners having a field day. It’s all playing out as TF predicted and patience is the key

He also said he prefers playing as a wing back and TF should listen to him .As for playing out as TF predicted , I don’t remember in him predicting 2 wins in 8 ?

 

[Doovster]

Thought he was actually very good yesterday, with Raya our best player.

Listening to his post match it is interesting, that he says he would rather be strong defensively and work on the offensive side than the other way around.

OK fine let’s all just bitch on. It was a clear statement after the Derby game ‘we will have setbacks with a new set up’. However I can see it’s much more fun for a lot of people to say it’s all s***.

Yeah, I agree mate. Now I have had time to reflect I remind myself that all good teams are built from the back. Let's hope it is a matter of time before the forward unit starts to click.

I’m not bitching on and I don’t quite see how any genuine Bees supporter would think it’s more fun saying the current situation is “ all sh*t “ ?
I personally think Dalsgaard has been excellent this season but prefer him at right wing back .
It is one thing having setbacks with a particular system ,quite another to continue with it without some adjustment when it is failing to get the required result.

I agree about Dalsgaard, he said he prefers playing wingback and I would always select him in his best position. The problem seems to be TF wants to find a position for Canos who IMO has one decent game followed by a few poor ones. He was mostly unable to beat his man yesterday and apart from one great cross which Karelis couldn't tap in his overall performance was poor. It seems TF is now wedded to 3 CB's so it's time to bring Pinnock back and give Canos a rest.

If you don't concede you be guaranteed a point.

Problem is 46 points may get you relegatec

Lots of work to do on the front unit but a solid base to work from.

 

[banburybee]

I took refuge in this thread to get away from the predictions of doom on the Stoke and Thomas Frank threads by saying how reassuring it is to hear Henrik's balanced view. The naysayers hunted it down however. Positivity not allowed let’s talk about relegation and getting rid of TF 8 games in , yes 8 games in.

Only the top two have conceded fewer in the first 8 games.

 

[GP200]

.................exact...........more good news...............

 

[Downbeat Bee]

He was probably among our weaker players; now he is one of the stronger. Reflects well on him but poorly on the team.

 

[beebopalula]

In the season so far he has probably been our most consistent player along with Pontus. Looks a lot sharper and fitter than last season

 

[sonofabee]

We now have a very solid defensive base for the first time I can recall. The midfield gives us options we’ve lacked before as we relied too heavily on Romaine to create chances.
Up front is the problem with talented individuals who aren’t working effectively together. Maybe because we lack a focal point and sadly Ollie isn’t that player, fix that issue we are still capable of top 6 this season.

 

[Doovster]

Harsh. He was knackered at the start of last season due to the World Cup. He consistently improved as last season wore on and has started brilliant this season. If the rest were at his current level we'd be flying, suggesting he only looks good because the others are underperforming is an insult to the man at the moment.

 

[North London Bee]

I would like to hear that he has been offered and signed a new contract. Nothing yet unfortunately.

 

[BFC1997]

This season he has looked every inch a Premier League player.

Up until this season he’d reminded me of Bidwell, a steady eddy with some obvious limitations.

But fair play, he has really stepped up.

Very much agree.

 

[johndub]

Lucky not to concede a penalty today but overall, a really good performance.

 

[jbee]

Still a bit of a worry in a back four when up against a pacy winger, but he's having a brilliant season.

 

[whyteleafebee76]

I think he has been superb all season and apart from one dodgy moment in the second half he was excellent again today.

 

[Delbee]

Another fine performance from him today

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Never a pen.
