Sweaty Gussets Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Welcome to the biggest club on planet earth (and beyond) Wonder where JDT see's him fitting in...as a No10 or out wide? The blurb on the official site says he can play both. Edited August 26, 2023 by Sweaty Gussets 3 Quote

Sweaty Gussets Posted August 28, 2023 Author Posted August 28, 2023 Showed some obvious quality yesterday, looked very tricky and direct. I think he'll provide good competition in the AML and AMC positions. As will Siggy. 1 Quote
Colt Seavers Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Reminded me somewhat of Ben Marshall. (I mean in terms of his general style, not his bizarre desire to throw his career away) 1 Quote

ROVER_N_OUT1978 Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Zak Gilsenan has just scored from a penalty. Great peno by the way. Penalty was won by Moran. 4 Quote

Great direct running from Moran to win the Peno…Hopefully we see more of that this season in blue & white. 1 Quote
Andy Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Really expect Moran to become a big player for us this season. He'll be more of an Elliott than a Morton. Encouraging for Gilsenan as well, very confident penalty. 1 Quote
LeftWinger Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Well you can't argue with two goals, two assists and winning a penalty. Definitely got something about him this lad. Feel he'll still take a couple of months to get used to Championship level football - but the early signs are very promising. 2 Quote
roversfan99 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 He definitely does have something about him. The main concern is not him as a player but the imbalance across the front line. He thrived last night as a number 10, he is slow but technically really gifted and he struggles to have that same influence from out wide, even drifting in. Problem is fitting him and Szmodics into the same side when they both play in the same position. 2 Quote

I think he was always signed as a rotational player for the #10 role, which is why they were trying to bring in a RW on deadline day. Needs must tho and we have to adapt - plenty of game time available for him if he can adjust to playing out wide. 1 Quote
Andy Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 I think he’ll be a big player for us this season. Has been a bit lightweight and wasteful in periods of his league appearances, but that has been mixed with genuine quality. Once he’s fully integrated, he and Sigurdsson are going to be massive for us this season. Guess you have to give credit to the club for persuading both to come. There were clearly many other options for them. Quote

Going off yesterdays showing he'd be a better #10 than szmodics, just edges him on technical ability, szmodics wouldnt be wasted as a wide forward imo. Can siggy play cf? Quote

Ultimately the uncompetitive budget cuts have left us with an incomplete squad, undoubtedly. Problem is, Moran would have been a step up from Hedges and is from the likes of Markanday, so you have to try and fit him in. But he lacks the pace to play from a wide role, he is clearly a natural central player. 29 minutes ago, DackDackGoose said: Going off yesterdays showing he'd be a better #10 than szmodics, just edges him on technical ability, szmodics wouldnt be wasted as a wide forward imo.

Well if Moran is better than them in that role, he'll break into the team there. Whether he is slow or not will be irrelevant if he's a better option there. If he isn't, he will be invaluable cover and rotation for Szmodics, who is very important to us right now and is bound to get injured and/or fatigued if we flog him playing every match. Quote

Of course, and he might well prove to be more effective even in a less natural position than the alternatives. But we could have done with a natural winger we went for as well as him and would have done had it not been for the budget slashing. But he is clearly better suited central, so it might be a case of trying to work with an imbalance in the side to get them both in rather than opt for someone not as good. Quote
philipl Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 I think this lad will really kick on this season. Needs to build his consistency but there is a really good footballer in him. Quote

joey_big_nose Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Hes obviously a real quality player. Think he could end up being as good for us as Harvey Elliott was. Elliott got 7 goals and 11 assists. Moran already has 2 goals and 3 assists, and could have had several more by being slightly quicker on the finish. Signs are that Sigurdsson, Szmodics and Moran will be an excellent set of attacking mids at this level. Still think Hedges is pretty handy also. Markanday I cant quite figure out how he'll turn out. 4 Quote
roversfan99 Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Mentioned on the Cardiff thread but he has been denied the chance of a senior call up as he has picked up an ankle injury. Quote
