Corazon Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Since middle of January Lamia is 3 wins, 2 losses & 4 ties. Both losses to powerhouse PAOK (one in a cup game). Only one loss in the past 8 leagye games is pretty good for a low level club in the division. James has only been around for about half of those games and not a significant contributor in them to date but it is promising that he is a least getting some minutes most games. I suspect James will get a few more opportunities to start. If I'm not mistaken, they have 4 games remaining and then another 7 games vs the 7 other bottom teams in relegation.

Corazon Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Has his first start for Lamia for the 2nd leg against last year's Greek Super League runner up PAOK. johnyb and Floortom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Down 5-2 from the first leg, so this could just be rest for the starters. James fouls a player in the box... PAOK miss the penalty. Looks like he gave the ball away on the first goal too. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Good to see James get some good experience against a decent opponent. With Midjylland knocked out of Europe, he probably wouldn't have gotten the chance to play against a team the caliber of PAOK. There's always the likes of Copenhagen, but he wouldn't have gotten the chance ahead of the other CBs. So positive development despite the reports of him being at fault for the goal.

Shway Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Highlights from the game: Wasn't at fault-at fault for the goal. But damn, it definitely looks like he could've blocked it. Obinna, Corazon and Mikmacdo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he scored, and I didn't watch the second half, but he didn't look too good in the first. Nate3322 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 He is certainly getting playing time at the ideal time for us. Hard to see him left out of the starting 11 at this point. Ivan, aredding77, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoH037 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Seeing as our MLS players are not playing at all right now, James is most likely a shoe to start, Herdman himself has alluded to the importance of Europe based players right now since they are the ones currently playing.

It’s going to be interesting to see if Herdman can go from rating James lowly enough to barely invite him to camps to have him start a WCQ. We will really see how much he values players being mid-season. Club Linesman, johnyb, narduch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Herdman doesn't have a lot of in form defense options going into this WCQ window, and James happens to be one of those few options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialK Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) He hasn’t really played much even in Greece Edited March 23, 2021 by SpecialK N1ckbr0wn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) The argument that he isn't playing much in Greece doesn't hold much weight considering he has still played more minutes than Ferreira, Sturing, Kamal Miller and Waterman combined in 2021 and in a better league as well. The 4 other center backs aside from Vitoria have combined for 0 minutes in 2021 so I'm not fully buying the argument he wasn't called for lack of playing time. Vitoria is the only player playing reasonable time (when fit) and who is currently in season. I wouldn't start Manjrekar James but he would definitely be in my top 4 of available center backs for this call. So I am a bit surprised.

dyslexic nam Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It is a bit of a mystery. In a country where footy was a major sport, journalists would actually inquire about that sort of thing.
