.............good movement and pace...............

Brilliant piece of management to show such confidence in him. I wonder if McAleny would have done any better?
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

In the last 6 games you need a catalyst to lift things. Dallas may well be that factor. He looked good tonight and gave us a directness which made us look dangerous.

A real wonder move by Warbs bringing him in for last couple of games to add pass and directness to our forward line against teams happy to hang on for a draw. Didnt think he would play against Swindon but may have given Warbs food for thought now. Having said that Trotta will be chomping at bit. great to have "fresh" players at this stage of season to bring into team in Dalla, Diagouraga, Reeves and to an extent Tarkowski as he had a bit of a mid season break.

Doubtful to be honest.

If Warbs thought if he got McAleny it was plan A and if he didnt Dallas was plan B he has probably got it spot on and the doubters about the lack of loan signings (including me) can eat humble pie.

Played very well tonight, as I said the other day very good at running with the ball, direct and is comfortable in possession, others trust him and he was lively tonight. Perhaps should have scored late on to wrap up the points but hey he played really well.

Totally agree, a goal would have been well deserved after today’s performance and Saturday’s and I’m pleased he got MotM.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

He did very well throughout tonight, although I stand by some of my comments I made before. If he can keep up a level of consistency, then he could well make the step up. Very pleased for him in any case.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Great to see him playing so well last few games. Amazing what effect a manager showing confidence in a player can have.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Thought Dallas was very impressive tonight, and would have loved it if he'd got a goal...
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Warburton has managed Dallas brilliantly, faith and confidence that has made Dallas an important part of the run in.

4 months ago, kicking around at the bottom of League 2 at Northampton.

Brought back and eased into the team. Two 90 minute performances in Game 40 and 41 of the season earning 6 points and giving Brentford a different option and a lot of pace.

Well Done Stuart Dallas and Well Done The Breadman!

Dallas was definitely MoM tonight. Excellent threat throughout the game when most wingers/wide players would get taken off with twenty minutes left. Should have scored in all honesty.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Stuart was excellent tonight. So happy for him. Glad he's come into the side.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

very happy to see a fine display by Stuart tonight, long may it live!! I'm going for a lay down now, as I said it..:sorted:
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Big call by Warbs and Dallas didn't let him down. Think the goals will come when he breaks his duck, just snatching a bit when finding some great positions. A lot to learn but improving and for me at least an exciting talent. Will have up's and downs as do most wide players but is looking more confident and stronger now.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Looking stronger,more pace and power,really unlucky not to score with that left foot curler in the second half but i,m sure the goals will come.Another rough Diamond being polished into shape.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Whoever spotted him deserves a medal or maybe a free ST next season.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Great delivery and gets himself into great positions in the box, deserves a goal
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

I just dont see it yet. His positioning is awful and he keft McCormack exposed on numerous occassions, also doesn't seem to have an end product, seems to run into blimd alleys, has a poor cross and doesnt look like scoring

:nono:Are you serious or just :fishing: ??????? Messi the lad isn't but how the hell can you come up with this from tonights performance. He ran the Crawley full backs ragged and set up our goal with a very clever pass to put Judge in for the cross for Dougie's goal. Even his most ardent critics reckon he did well tonight. The MoM award might be a bit of a clue for you. By the way Mac didn't look in trouble all night..........

Can you tell me the scoters of the goal(s) of this Stevenage match so I can put individual bets on for when we do play them.. I believe you have looked into the future..

I've already filled in the pools coupon;). Oddly enough I also made the same mistake during the game when berating them for time wasting........think I need a break:blush

You would appear to be very difficult to please. You obviously watched a totally different game to me.

I admit I thought Dallas was League 2 level at best , until recently. Tonight - and Sat - he proved me wrong. Superb talent in the making. Can't wait for his goal.... coming good at the right time.

I think his tracking back, fitness and versatility is key. He may not score many but he's clearly effective. In his BP interview he mentioned doing extra work to keep that extra sharpness.

Don't agree with any of that and particularly about leaving Mac exposed. He gets up and down the pitch really well and provided plenty of cover for Mac, in fact at one point in the first half he won the ball in a right back position after Mac had surged forward and the attack broke down.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

For god's sake man, his pass down the left, under pressure, for Judge to cross for the goal was the best ball of the night... he's the only out and out winger we have and he gets better by the game (when he gets the chance to play). Yes he missed a couple of finishes but he's fab, he's ours and will only get better... I really hope we get to keep him for next season and beyond.

Tonight was the night things turned for the Bees. Am in no doubt now.

I think you could well be right here Mick and it is bit like Warburton has produced an ace from the pack that could take us pass the last hurdle . Going out on loan has done him a world of good .

What game were you watching!!!! it seems you are on your own with regards to Stuart, or are you trying to wind everyone up, every one bar you thought he had a good game, and is improving all the time, well done to Warbs for having faith in him, I also notice you are picking holes in David Button as well, is there any player you like?.

Honestly would have had him off at half time for Trotta. Sorry I dont see it. Not a wind up just my view

You're right. We really could have done without that goal he created.

Personally I thought he played very well last night and deserved to get on the scoresheet - a bit more composure next time and it would have hit the net. I was actually very impressed when he came on for the last 15 mins against Peterborough on NYD, his pace and directness essentially stopped any chance of them putting us under pressure, and it seems as if Warbs is managing him very well.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

The fact that Clayton has been moved by the management from his best position to accommodate Stuart says it all.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

We've gone for pace in the last two games. I can see a change Saturday, maybe CD or Dallas getting a 'rest'?? MW has utilised his squad wisely, especially after I and many others questioned the club for not getting bodies in, in the last transfer window. I see Dallas doing more for the club than Reeves though.....

You gotta be kidding?

I was also surprised to see him named MOTM. He did some decent enough stuff but his end product is very variable still currently and he seems better in space than in our one touch triangles. Decent enough overall but I'm not buying a shirt with his name on just yet.

I think you have to accept you are in a small minority on your views of the Dallas performance.

MW has managed the loan system beautifully with Daigouraga and Dallas. Got them both fit and sharp and confident elsewhere at a lower level and brought them back to inject some pace, composure, fresh legs and energy

I thought he coped very well in the intricate passing passages of play and his strength and pace on the ball was an outlet all evening. As Mr. Warburton has been saying it's a squad game and he's a very important part of that squad. He made a couple of headers last evening,but given his height and physique that's one area of his game that needs improvement.

:sorted: Nailed on; splendid 'use' of a system that not everybody would have the confidence to use so well.

Be very interesting to see how Norris' future pans out.

Currently nibbling on a massive slice of humble pie. Thought he was brilliant last night. Good lad Stuey.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

I think we should continue with the same team on Saturday. We are in a great position but we need to grind out another win on Saturday. I think he should continue with Dallas because you have to reward a player when they've played well.

Maybe once we get another 4-6 points on the board, we should consider resting Forshaw and Harlee who do have injury concerns and are playing through them to ensure they fully healed for the start of next season. We have enough cover in midfield and Kev can deputise for the last couple of games at CB. These boys are both very talented and will have long term futures with us so I would not want to risk them if/when we are assured promotion.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

Yay for Stuart...great to see him get the MOM last night. Has added another dimension to our attack for the last 2 games.
 

Stuart Dallas - Old thread

There were a few incidents where Dallas looked poor. One of his crosses in the second half was very poor. He chased down a ball in the first half and fresh-air kicked it, only for the ref to award a corner. He did do some things really badly.
However, his level of improvement deserves the MOM, and his contribution was very good. There were a number of times I actually commented on him tracking back to not leave Alan Mac exposed, and whilst I don't think he's very quick over 10 yards, over 30-40, he's actually quite quick. I stand by the fact that he doesn't have tricks and quick feet, but he does drive to the byline if he gets the opportunity. His lack of acceleration over 10 yards might not get him to the byline without the full-back blocking him, but he definitely showed vast improvements in the last couple of games compared to previous games.
One thing that I totally cannot agree with, is that he doesn't look like scoring? Give him a run of games, and he'll get his eye in. If there's one thing I like about him, is that he gets into good goal-scoring positions.

Even in the Premiershite, when the pundits say that so and so wasted a good chance someone will point out that to miss the chance he had to be there to miss it which to means the player must be taking up a good position in the first place

Over 90 minutes we could pick apart certain elements of each and every player and a passage of poor play (for example if we analysed poor old Georges game last night- misplaced passes etc we'd be here for considerable time...last night was just one of those games for him).

I think you make a very pertinent point about the goal scoring positions, think once he breaks the duck he will be a potential source of goals as he does find very good positions and has a decent shot. A little composure is lacking but that will come.
