Mikmacdo Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 90 mins and a clean sheet. This moves him to number 1 on the CB depth chart lol. baulderdash77, Addona, N1ckbr0wn and 15 others 5 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Watched his game today. He was good. Solid defending. Sent in a few balls over the top that found a striker. Kadenge, johnyb, jordan and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.. if he finds his form and begins starting consistently for a club like Midtjylland, then yeah, he'd arguably be our best defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big fat IF. I would love for him to prove me wrong, but I just think he is too far down the depth chart at that club. Even still, you have to give these kind of guys minutes from time to time to keep them involved. It is the same with Zavaleta at TFC, who also got the rare start today. So I stand by my comment that James is like the Zavaleta of Midjylland. In other words, he is a good guy to keep around as backup, but he’ll likely never be anything more.

jordan Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 As previously mentioned he will likely get a run until they are out or European qualifiers, much like last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullback Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Midjylland is one of the ‘advanced stats’ soccer teams. I’ve always just assumed there is a reason they value him and keep him around. Why would a top Danish team sign a guy out of a random Hungarian team? Not sure what it is but obviously there is something there if they signed him and sporadically give him minutes. We’re kind of joking but I think he’s a good CB and deserves to be included in most squads Trois Reds, Club Linesman and Corazon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 James played 90 mins for Midtjylland in a 1-0 win over Randers. That's 2 consecutive starts and complete games at CB in the Danish superliga. Midtjylland have played 3 league games to date. This is a very positive development and if he can get consistent minutes for a team that were Danish league winners last season and are playing Champions league it's massive for our program N1ckbr0wn, Obinna, Shway and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first leg finished 0-0, so they need a result this week to advance.

Weng Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 He did have the highest rating on sofascore so let’s hope he keeps putting in good performances and outplays his competition for playing time.

Obinna Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 If James can prove himself in the extra opportunities that could be huge for him and us. Who knows, if they qualify and one of their "starters" goes down, he could find himself playing in the Champions league as well as domestically. That would be big for his development. I have been critical of him, but it's not because he doesn't have talent, it is because he struggles with consistency. And of course he does when he cannot get consistent games. If he can change that with one of the top clubs in Demark, playing in Europe, he would obviously challenge for a starting role with the national team. apbsmith, N1ckbr0wn, Strait Red and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know Midtjylland’s depth chart, so I could be wrong (and hoping that I am) looks that way but his partner today was one of the 2 regular CBs so perhaps they are alternating ....notwithstanding, this is a huge opportunity for him to show what he has and push for more playing time. With James in the lineup they have 2 clean sheets in a row. Strait Red, N1ckbr0wn and apbsmith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Even if he is getting time due to CL rotation, at least he is getting the time. All he can do is play his best, and hope that gets traction with the coach and results in more games. Cheeta, Strait Red and h coach 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi44 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Who cares why he played? starting CB and keeping a clean sheet in a league game for the top Danish team is freaking amazing.
