CONFIRMED Tanganga signs on a three year contract

[Blade45]

One of our players that can hold their head up high after our start. Never hid, and generally looked a step above everyone else, especially against Middlesborough. Seems to be a good character too. Excited to see him and Ben Mee together as I imagine that will be Wilder's preferred partnership at the back.

 

[UTB]

Definitely be in the premiership if we bought him instead of Cannon.

 

[JFK]

Am I getting carried away, or were there vestiges of "overlapping" today? Either way, thought he was excellent. Very good with his feet for a defender.

 

[Slugger]

Good going forward today.
Some good linking with Ogbene.

Good point mate.
I remember thinking to myself 'WTF is he doing up there' but maybe as you say, Wilder can see enough O'Connell-type potential in him to give it a go.

I bloody hope so.

 

[Frank the tank]

Thought his short passing in tight spaces particularly near the touchline was abysmal and I'd prefer to.see him in the middle

He is a hell of a more cultured player than I realised. Wilder really had him pushing on today.
What a signing this guy is going to be.

 

[Bladesman]

Tanganga has not done much wrong since signing.

Very good signing regardless of how chaotic everything else has been.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Offered quite a lot going forward whilst being defensively assured at the same time. If we ever revert to 442 he's probably lightyears ahead of our other RB options. (Ahead of our other CB options too, but the gulf is not as big).

Tanganga played right back in a 4-4-1-1 yesterday.

But does he wear a magic hat?

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Course he does mate.
You just can't see it because it's magic. Durrr!

 

[Stretch]

He's been great so far. Definitely one of the players who will inspire others and drive us out of this mess.

 

[JFK]

Tanganga played right back in a 4-4-1-1 yesterday.

That probably explains it then. I don't recall him being so advanced in previous games though.

 

[ancientblade]

tanganga is a centre back thats his best position and think he will go back there when we bring a rb in in january

 

[Nedski]

I didn't watch the game but Wilder mentioned the back 3 post match, so did we switch the formation around at times?

From what I see it depends if we have possession or not.

 

[Bergen Blade]

From what I see it depends if we have possession or not.

Not quite correct, it depends where the opposition have their possession. Watford very rarely had sustained possession in the last third (for them). On the few occasions it happened Ogbene is probably still under instruction to drop down to a wing back position as we tweak it to a back five. But yesterday he was very much part of our midfield four when Watford built from the back, let alone when we attacked.

Only at the end I'd say we played with a back five, with Shackleton keeping an eye on Bola off he ball and Tanganga defending a bit more centrally.

 

[Grappler]

There were a few occasions where (in front of G and H block, second half) he absolutely got stuck in, hacked away at the ball, took it from their players feet and drove it up field. Good lad.

 

[Bergen Blade]

I didn't watch the game but Wilder mentioned the back 3 post match, so did we switch the formation around at times?

In that quote he himself doesn't mention "back 3", but he does comment on three of our defenders. Which interview is it from?

 

[Carlton Blade]

An absolute beast in 1v1 battles, just moves players out of the way. Also has that Bash trait of looking like he's about to fall over in attacking possession and suddenly ending up past his man

Aye, we went to a back 5 for the last 10-15 mins after he brought Burrows and Shackleton on, which is why it felt like we were sitting back towards the end of the game I think.
