    Hail the new kid on the block, the weekends his end of.
    The confidence is what impressed me most. Just come on, very little game time, yet he has the belief to take the player on and buzz the ball across the keeper. Plenty of seasoned pro's would passed that one on.

    Didn’t Bulut sub him at Ipswich due to his lack of tracking back, this after he’d delivered a sublime cross for Meite to put us two up which, unfortunately, he buggered up. Let’s hope Bulut doesn’t get too ‘technical’ with him. A natural ‘just run at ‘em’ type of footballer is a nightmare for defenders, if he was playing to orders when he came on last night, fair play to Bulut but I prefer to believe that Tanner came on with the attitude of ‘f*ck ‘em, they’re having it tonight, tracking back? Balls to that, others can cover for me’.

    Absolutely agree....don't over-coach him...let his instincts keep him going direct...defenders are scared of that sort of talent...

    Defenders hate players running at them. We should all rejoice in what Tanner did yesterday, it was perfect, a thing of beauty, something we have been starved of for so long. The back down to Earth bit is going to be the rest of his game. I like what you're saying Mo, in terms of allowing him to do it naturally, but there will be times when he isn't going to get the better of a fullback, or the ball isn't going to bounce for him. Which means that he's going to have to rely on the other side of the game, like dropping deeper, disrupting play, coming inside etc. We don't really know if he can or will develop into that player. If he can get half decent at the 'Other' stuff, then we may have a player. Colwill is a case in point.

    Anyway Mo,lets just enjoy it, wonderful goal, from the pass, touch, the finish and the celebration. Its been a long time coming
