James Tarkowski -

[zuko]

2 games, 2 clean sheets

 

[Hullbee]

2 games, 2 clean sheets

Looks like a significant improvement on Harlee in terms of composure, positional sense and ablity to pass a ball

 

[detours]

He wasn't tested much at all, but he won his headers and passed out of defence calmly and accurately. Looked very solid

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Another fine performance on his home debut, IMO much better and comfortable on the ball than Dean. Picked out done very good passes today.

 

[stevil]

Impressed

 

[wanderer paul]

A nice footballing centre back. Quality signing.

 

[Delbee]

On today's showing I think Harlee's got his work cut out to diplace James

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

He's very impressive isn't he As detours rightly pointed out, not tested greatly defensively but everything he did, he did well and he's a genuine footballing centre half.

 

[Guildford Bee]

Very impressed. Looked so composed and was very vocal as well. Harlee will face a fight to get his place back.

 

[GABS]

Looking forward to my first peek on Tuesday evening.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I'm going to like this lad.

 

[Col T]

Looks a very good player....Harlee may struggle to get his place back..

 

[mundee4england]

Very impressed.

 

[Ashford Bees]

Harlee is going to have to fight hard to get his place back. Very good signing, solid at the back and can pass the ball. Another quality warburton signing to add the the ever growing list.

 

[grepo]

Well done "the Otter".

 

[Doovster]

Quality. Nuff said.

 

[Bee68]

Iam sure him and Harlee could play together just to note he got in in the team due to Harlee being injured lets not knock someone because of that

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Quality.

 

[GP200]

.............a very good footballer................

 

[harry]

Impressed! Dealt with their physical attack with ease. Looks like he can pass the ball too. Happy days

 

[JTofBFC]

Thought he played within himself today. No Hermanesque forward runs which apparently he is capable of. Did the simple stuff well.

Agreed, and he does the simple stuff very very well. Think we have one hell of a player on our books ...

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

I'm sure he could but you certainly wouldn't drop Craig at the moment. We now look to have 3 very good centre halves and competition will be extremely stiff.

 

[Cham]

Quality player. Bargain price as well.

 

[Balders Bee]

Calm and assured. Good distribution, good positioning. Early days but one would venture an excellent signing.

 

[sonofabee]

Oozed class with great distribution today.

 

[Novice01274]

This is great news for the club. Harlee will respond to the challenge and push him all the way. This is exactly what we need in all positions.

 

[Ash]

Absolute class act! Great bit of business by Brentford

 

[condorman]

Good to see his Lucky Husky let onto the pitch at half time. Seemed to make a difference

 

[-superbees2k3-]

This boy looks ace

 

[Paul USA]

Superb buy. - oozes class, never flurried, great distribution, heads the ball to a Brentford player, gives out stick when deserved.

I thought Harlee was great. - Not sure how you can drop this lad for Harlee when he is fit again.

 

[Kingston Bee]

He looks special, although it is early days. More mobile than Harley and great distribution. A fantastic addition to the squad.

 

[The Pipe]

Good home debut but will come up against more challenging attacks so won't go overboard. However he is not short of confidence as he made it clear to his team mates if they made a mistake!!!

Will be interesting to see how both he and Harlee develop as potentially we could have a cracking pair of footballing CB's

 

[andyrew]

Adds a liitle bit more height to the defensive line and looks a quality player

 

[Boston Bee]

This is the big idea, what with TC not getting Any younger. Harlee and The Dude could be an amazing pairing that grow up together as footballers.

[Ealing Bee]

Agree he looked very good, and Harlee will have his work cut out etc.

That said, it was a 'good' side to make your home debut against, since I thought the Bradford attack was very poor.

He'll face much tougher tests, but the exciting thing is, he looks to have the quality/potential to overcome them

 

[thenightfly]

Extremely good. Didn't lose one header. 9/10

 

[Alex Callow]

He is bloody brilliant.

Potential England centre back pairing?

 

[hanworthbee]

If we go up we may not see Craig as much next season......

 

[GP200]

If we go up we may not see Craig as much next season......

............hope we still do,require his leadership............

 

[Womble Bee]

Very impressed with this boy. So calm and make it all look so easy. With a ball high in the air no jigging about, calmly in place, taken down to his feet and ball moved on. Great scouting to get this one in. Most 'stand in' CB's have not fitted in with TC - this boy looks like he has been with us a while. Be a shame for him to lose his place on his last 2 performances.

 

[Wooburn Bee]

............hope we still do,require his leadership............

Thought Tony was one of our MoM yesterday. Alongside right partner he can definitely play in Championship

 

[sonofabee]

I hope so but doubt he'll feature as much if we get up.

 

[daveyp123]

I thought his distribution was great yesterday. Played a few lovely direct balls cutting straight though their midfield.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

It would be shameful based on yesterdays performance. He was outstanding. Think he could turn out to be a bargain

 

[opinions5u]

Just wait until he starts bringing the ball out of defence with his feet ...

 

[Artixbee]

Can't believe we convinced this guy to stay in league one!! Yesterday, looked to have all the attributes you need in a centre back. Rare to see a defender in our division so physically imposing, technically gifted and accurate. Has he been that way most of this season?

 

[Aberdeen flyer]

Just wait until he starts bringing the ball out of defence with his feet ...

Did that at least a couple of times last week at Carlisle.

Yes. He's come on superbly since getting a run in the side after Dickov was binned.

Instinctively I think he should be playing for a team like QPR, WBA - hovering between top half of the Chamionship or surviving in the Premiership.

Hopefully he's paid for some bricks to come out of the ground for our new stand. Getting a bit bored of seeing the car park on matchdays.
