Couple of great balls , but petrified to try and take a man on
It's not his game, he wants to run on to balls not take people on from a standing start.

I genuinly think he's been told to play sensible. When he first came in 2 years ago he was constantly running at men and taking it straight out of play or essentially running into them. I have no doubts he's actualyl very confident on the ball, but i think he's been told to keep the ball moving.
Look at yesterday where he cut onto his left and it was deflected just over the bar. He is confident and as others have said, he deserves more minutes.
Me too, but if he spends even half a season out on loan next season, he’s 24 by the time we get him back. He’s running out of time to prove he’s got what it takes, he’s not a prospect anymore.
Our £8M man on other side was shot to pieces. Blew on him he fell apart. Was like bambi on ice.
Tavares had the energy and willing and determination that Haji Wright lacked.
He had an absolute stinker. He slipped when taking penalty and kept on falling over. But Tavares was only option. Did very well the young lad.
He gets the marks for the 2 great crosses , did little else .
Wright's performance was shite
Tavares next season needs to be on loan in league 1 , we need better squad options , last night highlighted our squad is really not deep enough , again
At this point with Tav i'm willing to overlook age. A bit like McFadz who started the pro game late and said that was why he was reaching his peak at 33-34
Obv for a nippy striker, pace is the main asset which will go when he reaches late 20's.
Point i'm making, a year out with Achilles injury, came from Rochdale reserves when he wasn't exactly young, it's only the last month he's actually taking his first steps properly in the first team
Conclusion = one year left on his deal, i'd absolutely loan out to play striker in a league 1 team for half of next season and see how he comes back. If he's banging them in, great, if he's not, 6 months and he'll go to another level.
Came on created the goal and put in another cross or two that someone should have gambled on. Looked a bit nervy at times but not sure what more we could realistically have expected from him.
May struggle for game time when EMC comes in but I thought his contribution was pretty encouraging.

Yeah. But our 8m man on the other side already has lots of goals and assists.
His biggest problem here is that he needs to be played as a striker (ok, he did pretty well out wide last night) but he's not big enough or strong enough to be a lone striker.
Given his age, I don't see the point in sending him out on loan next season. He has to stay here and try and break into our team or we should sell him. His close season fitness plan needs to be protein shakes and weights.

I think he needs to look at Jodi Jones as an example. Go and find a League One or League Two club and get regular first team football. Staying at Coventry isn't going to progress his career quickly enough. Even if he went out on loan he would just come back to being a squad player at best.
I’ve been critical of him for a long time and I’m still unsure if he’s good enough for us long term, but he did himself proud today and was exactly what we needed when he came on.
Game changer. Against Manchester United
I agree; both him and JDS did well when they came on
Dasilva was brilliant when he came on
Wife also asked why can these performances at Molineux, Leeds and now today appear in the same time as just awful performances against Birmingham and Southampton.
Sort the consistency out and we have the winning formula.
Yep, thought Dasilva was excellent today. He’s a good option at LB/LWB when chasing a game. A valuable squad player in other words.
Exactly.
He's gone from "never going to make it"
To. "long term injured, forgotten man"
To. "Just a bench warmer" to "viable option from the bench"
TBF he's done quite well so far since getting over the horrendous injury. I'd like to see what he can do with a full pre-season under his belt. No idea if that's going to be here or somewhere else, but he's done his future prospects no harm with his cameo today.
(Just hope he's not badly injured again)
Can we finally put the derision about this player from some quarters to bed.
Three goals in two starts this season and more than once recently has come off the bench and looked our best player. Today he was outstanding. Not just his pace and skill but deft touch and passing and intelligent play, including covering for Van Ewijk. Was a pity he had to go off.
All of this after over a year off with a really serious injury.
Some decided to write him off before he had played, but today he showed beyond doubt he has plenty of ability.

He is getting better and just needs a pre season bit more bulk needed and we have a player that can make an impact in the squad .
Didn't some do the same with O'Hare after his injury ?
Keep Fabio for the next couple of seasons for me
He's also made virtually all his appearances this season out of position. He's not a right winger.
He’s done well but I can’t see us offering him a new contract.
