"He Will Come Good"

Where is your evidence to back this up?

[Chewitt]

I'm on the fence with Priskin but i'd imagine that the fact he scores goals at international and hit two in 5 for Preston (they played decent football) would be some of this evidence.

[Birdydoug]

Eh today !!!!

[Walter White]

I'm on the fence with Priskin but i'd imagine that the fact he scores goals at international and hit two in 5 for Preston (they played decent football) would be some of this evidence.

He scored 5 international goals against teams like Montenegro, and the goals at Preston where basicly tap ins, 1 of them took a deflection off him!

[Chewitt]

No, one of them was a tap in and one was a very well taken goal, as for scoring for Hungary well it's scoring at international level which is more than any other of our strikers can say.

[Evasive]

I thought he looked very good in the second half at MK, I didn't go today so I can't comment on that.

He was too slow to get to the goal, otherwise would have scored a tap in, and put the ball about 5 yards wide of the post from the edge of the box, i wouldnt say thats 'very good'...

[gazzah100]

used to rate tamas but i am getting more and more farked off with him.

needs to learn you have t run and jump to be a footballer

[Evasive]

Set up the goal, and nearly set up another. Still, the other players were great so the fact that Priskin was the only player responsible for our defeat really means we should ditch him.

[suffolk orn]

I've not seen any of our pre-season games, but reading the reports from those that have seems to suggest he's developing his skills quite nicely and has made a few of the goals that we've scored. You need to remember that although he's got a few first team starts under his belt he's not had a decent run in the starting line up. When you consider that last season as well we were playing a style totally unsuited to his game I think he's very much a case of "work in progress" and that you'll see him develop hugely through this season and end it with a decent goal tally.

[Walter White]

His lack of pace, work rate, body strenght etc just takes the ****

All this talk of him needing a good run in the first team is bollox, didnt Solskjaer of somebody score 20 odd goals coming off the bench?

[Chewitt]

He's hardly slow whilst we can't have everyone charging around like a headless Henderson.

So what if Solskjaer scored alot from the bench, Priskin is not Solskjaer and i think Solskjaer was one of a kind when it came to having such an impact from the bench.

[Walter White]

hmm, every thread on Priskin is getting the same now, we'll just have to wait and see won't we. However im sure at the end of the season he'll still be being backed up after 40 od miserable performances

[suffolk orn]

I've probably been one of the biggest advocates of Priskin over the past year or two, but this is make or break for him as far as a future here goes, however, I reckon he'll come good and I think the signs are promising.

The Solskjaer comments pretty irrelevant since he wasn't getting the ball launched at his head at 80 mph or playing alongside a donkey.

You dont understand football

[darave8]

I would be intrested if someone started a poll to see where the majority is.

[sexybadger]

I want the guy to suceed, but I don't think he will, not in this league anyway.

[merchandiseman41]

If you had bothered to go today Macca, as you only live down the road from the ground, I had a hundred mile round trip for a pre season friendly incidently, you would have seen the touches of brilliance that some people are alluding to here.

He constantly asked for the ball to feet, but the inability of our wingers and wingbacks to do this simple task meant that he looked slow and useless because he didnt chase down the lost cause or jump for the ball that was going miles over his head.

The abuse he got for the ball that went out infront of the Watford fans after it came down from a great height and then ended up on the roof was not fair. What was he supposed to do, jump as high as the stand? Not even Hendo, who I loved, would have attempted that one.

And he set up one of the goals today.

[nak108]

I actually think Priskin was decent today and the constant getting on his back was ridiculous as even when he did do something good he wouldnt even get praise for it and at one point when Priskin jumped for a header but didnt get it some fan complained that he would have never have won the header and shouldnt have jumped for it yet if he didnt jump he would have complained about him being lazy.

:dismay:

[krisvad]

For me it's more down to hope than actual belief. If he doesn't make it, not only is he finished at Watford - the club will be in a very bad way - probably going down.

All he needs is confidence which is why the idiot fans booing him etc are only acting as catalysts to his failure.

He needs to be backed up and encouraged to succeed.

All that said - I don't think he is ideally suited to Englilsh football - especially CCC football. He'd do well in Italy or France I think.

[Emmawfc]

A goal is a goal. You have to be there to score them.
You obviously wern't a fan of Scott Fitzgerald then, most of his goals were proper poachers goals, like Van Nistlerooy, he only scored inside the box - poacher.

[Aberystwyth_Hornet]

I'm on the fence with Priskin, he has the technical ability but i would like to see him make more runs and to chase/jump more. I thought he did alright today - again helped set up another goal.

Incidentally the treatment of Priskin is summed up as follows. Priskin plays a good ball out wide to Robinson and continues his run into the box waiting to receive the ball. Robinson who had been chasing all day but not quite showing the quality wasted the cross. Fan behind shouts, Priskin you waste of space.

[NathWFC]

To be honest I'm bored of giving all the reasons/evidence as to why Priskin is such a joke over and over again and then having to listen to the pathetic excuses all his bum boys come up with, so as I said the other day I'll now simply be resorting to saying...

He's sh*t.

[fan]

needs to learn you have t run and jump to be a footballer

that must be why romario and recoba failed so badly at football

and no, i'm not comparing priskin to these people. its the principle. you don't need to run and jump to be a footballer

[The Voice of Reason]

I am not a particular fan of Tamas, but I can see why people think he might just come good.

He reminds me of Nigel Callaghan in a lot of ways, in as much as he can look lazy, but the fact is, he is NOT!!!

He is a very skillful player who does not believe in chasing lost causes IMHO!!! This can make him appear lazy, because he does not run around like a headless chicken.

IMHO he could be our savior this season IF the boo boys stay off his back and give him ENCOURAGEMENT instead of ABUSE!!!

So let me appeal to you all, not for him, but for "THE TEAM" stay off his back and don't make him, or any other player for that matter, your pre-ordained target for the "Jordan Stewart Treatment" this season!!!

I somehow think my plea is falling on deaf ears, but if you can't get behind Tamas and the rest of the team, do the rest of us a favour and take your "SUPPORT" :rolleyes: elsewhere!!!

[fan]

bold understatement there. really rams it home

Well said that man but alas the Boo Boy morons will probably take no notice I wish they would bog off and defect to someone like MK Dons or QPR

your going to look like such a ******* 5 games into the season.

Possibly but you've got a 5 game start already !:]]:]]:]]:]]:]]:]]

[PotGuy]

Its pretty simple really.

Don't boo him for a couple of months and get behind him a bit.

If, as I have a sneaking suspicion he might, he continues to score no goals and look gormless and lazy, then he will be sold anyway.

Booing is for children in pantomimes.

spot on

we are short of strikers and priskin could do well not being in the shadows of puke, king and hendo

[suffolk orn]

Just thought a few of the comments in this thread make interesting reading half way through the season, especially those by maccatwo lol.

[Smudger]

The two main aspects of the traditional English centre forward pace and power.

All very well but if you cannot control the ball or finish whats the point ? Priskin has always had the ability just been derided by the likes of Aidy and never been used to his strengths.

Several very decent European clubs were chasing him and their must have been a reason for doing so.

Hoofball never suited him. With a more ground based system balls into the channels and behind the defence he will prosper.

And it takes time for some overseas players to settle. He has hardly had a decent run at times and he is gradually filling out.

[PotGuy]

Just thought a few of the comments in this thread make interesting reading half way through the season, especially those by maccatwo lol.

Ha. Indeed.

Has won me over in the last month, you can finally see him shine in a footballing team. He looks top class at times, absolute quality.

He even looks like he is actually grafting sometimes now as well, putting in proper effort because he knows that he has a team aaround him who have a gameplan and an ethos where he actually has a chance to score a goal or 2.

[watford_pyro]

maybe took a bit longer settling in but rodgers is clearly bringing the best out of him and i think he could end up with a very decent looking goal tally by the end of the season

[The Voice of Reason]

You were saying maccatwo :rolleyes:

Actually pyro, Tamas had already come good before Rogers came on board, so I don't really think he should be given all the credit!!!

[With A Smile]

I think he is out of contract at the end of the season and even if we offer him an exteention i can't see him wanting to stay

He has done well. Lets hope it continues

[Tring Hornet]

Im not one of Priskins greatest fans but have to say he is starting to look the finished product now. However I would like to see a bit more commitment especially in the challenges in the air.

[UEA_Hornet]

He signed a 4yr deal when we got promoted in 2010. Good foresight by the board!

[watford_pyro]

oh no definitly not but you must admit hes looked even better since rodgers came on board even if he has looked better this season. i also think the style of play hes trying to implement will be perfect for tamas

[merchandiseman41]

Lets hear it then... us Tama Fans are jumping through hoops at the moment, and surprisingly, its gone quiet from you losers that couldnt see the brilliance because of the style of play we were playing at the start of the season

[DMR]

I bet he is going to turn shyte again

[Walter White]

Fair play tamas.

[merchandiseman41]

above all well done Brendan...the team seem to believe

Also agreed, after much research I've discovered that Hoskins is actually Hoskins and in fact NOT Priskin.

[tom bola]

Priskin, Hoskins, Rasiak, Smith so many attacking options its almost an embarrasment of riches comparable with Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez.

The only hard part is keeping them all happy at once.

[555ROB]

Hoskins is no Priskin but im sure he will do well.

Totally agree

Hoskins and Rasiak have a good partnership, and were the two strikers who played in our 4-3 win against palace in the cup, i cant see us struggling for goals tbh.

Nothing to do with the fans, all down to BR and the football we're playing now.

Totally agree.
At last he has grasped the basics of tackling, jumping and winning the ball. **** all to do with the fans but a manager who has told him to shape up or ship out.
He was lazy and BR found him out.

Hopefully rasiak won't be so lazy soon then

[The Hornet]

Well BR Likes him, hes calling him a Premiership Quality striker! He does say he needs to work on his work rate!

And he has scored 8 goals in the last 12 games!

[wfc-4ever]

He is a great finisher and i was looking at his goalscoring record this season. It shows that he scores nearly all of his goals on a run and twice this season he has gone on a bit of a run. But apart from that hasn't scored i don't think, so if he becomes more consistent he would have a chance of being one of the top goal scorers in the league.

[TheDon]

Priskin takes a while to get on these runs, and usually when he does he gets dropped after one bad game or get injured, suspended etc..

It seems Super Tam now has a new army of fans on here.

Funny that. I thought there was only a few of us that rated him.

I was thinking similar. Great minds and all that..

[With A Smile]

I don't think that many questioned his ability, most questioned his attititude and work rate.

Ellington is talented but lazy
McNuff talented but lazy
Priskin again talented but lazy

a good finisher, but you need more than that at this level, take a look at Tommy Smith.

If he wants to make a living at this level he needs to improve his all round game, heading, holding the ball up, closing down, antisipation, work rate.

Has the potential

[555ROB]

The past is the past and Tamas along with a few other players are now part of a new look team that can score and defend - amazing how things can change so quickly.

Lets just hope that BR can continue the good work, finish mid-table or better and then mount a challenge for promotion next season. This team with just a few decent summer signings and no key departures should be good enough for the play-offs, after all, look who are currently in those place right now.

Having Cork for back next season, although unlikely, would make a big difference too.
