I was just making the point its interesting that baka was seen as a failure from the moment we signed him but chaplin was treated as the second coming of Mcnultywe have both so chill out
I'm going to wait to see what another teams fans say before passing judgement.
Couldn't agree more on the Hiwula point. There was a point where Jodi re-did his ACL that I was concerned that we were going to have to play the season with Shipley on the left. That isn't necessarily a criticism of Shipley, just he doesn't suit that formation, style of player, (or in my opinion) being a wide left player. Hiwula's ability to adapt to left wing and the introduciton or Bright and Kelly has turned our season around, not necessarily entirely results based but in terms of how we manage to control a game. Added to that, Shipley has come in and done well when required or when we've needed to adapt. People have seemed to suggest that Thomas and Sterling have gone off the boil recently, but what I think has actually happened is that we now have two sides to attack from and are much more balanced. Up until around Christmas time (Scunthorpe away was probably the most telling) absolutely everything had to come down our right hand side, and we were unbelievably reliant on them, now they are less involved as we have a more dynamic left-hand side.I'm feeling good about it at the moment. Chaplin has missed too many chances this season but was still getting in the positions to miss them so hopefully can be coached to improve. Baka has come on leaps and bounds. They both offer something different and Hiwula has really taken to the left forward role after some dodgy performances.

I'm going to wait to see what you say on what those fans from other teams are saying before passing judgement. #AnnounceChaplin
thishe was only seen as a failure by morons
and anyone who is writing chaplin off already is also same level of moron

He’s not a winger which is what he was being asked to play earlier in the season. Since Bright has come in as a proper number 10 though we can play the 4-2-3-1 that Robins favours and he’s done much better as a wide forward.Hmmm.
Personally I really don't think Hiwula suits the left side in the slightest. He goes missing, does little, offers no support in defence.
What he has done is chip in with a goal or two and, in a side where nobody scores, that's been welcome. He's a centre forward or nothing however, in my view.
tbh, he still seems to go missing in my view.He’s not a winger which is what he was being asked to play earlier in the season. Since Bright has come in as a proper number 10 though we can play the 4-2-3-1 that Robins favours and he’s done much better as a wide forward.
yesterday i agreed with your postthis
You speak a lot of sense, apart from when it comes to NFL.yesterday i agreed with your post
today you agree with mine
my god new NFL season cant come soon enough! weird shit is happening!
Its the same as us telling Bristol Rovers fans that JCH was crap! See what i mean the striker needs to fit into a system and Bristol Rovers suits JCH and i think that Baka is getting used to ours nowWalsall fans are absolutely clueless buffoons like all other fans of other clubs but if they say a player we are about to sign is shit then he's shit
Baka is quite big, Chaplin is quite small. It's easier for someone quite big to play up top on their own. In my own very technical opinion.

I think also the level of service has improved since Bright came in, not just with his play but his positioning creates more space for Thomas & Hiwula to get into positions where a chance can be created or for Bright to slot the ball through to them in on goal.
Defenders look lost when he has the ball in between their back four and midfield, happened a few times on Saturday especially when Pboro were chasing and pushing forward, Kelly would win the ball, give it straight to Bright beyond their midfield and we were effectively 4 on 4 with Thomas and Hiwula pushing forward.
Im sure this was the style of attacking play Robins planed on introducing at the start of the season with Andreu but it just wouldn't click.
I have seen stuff saying Bright is out of contract this summer and he is clearly enjoying football here. I think we stand a strong chance of re signing him permanent.Bright may come across as infuriating but sometimes you need to slow things down and let the strikers runs develop and space open up instead of just forcing things at 100 mile an hour. I think he's a really clever player, I can understand how it can be seen as him slowing play down but sometimes that is what is required, to be able to slow things down whilst keeping the ball and then pick a pass is a rarity at this level.
I think we all would agree who we thought was going to be the success out the two but personally i think baka is more influential to the team. I think we play better as a team with Baka and i think Jordy benefits from playing with baka. Chaplin snatches at shots and baka is a threat in the air. I hope chaplin comes good but i know who i would rather have now.
Deffo have him here, hes classI have seen stuff saying Bright is out of contract this summer and he is clearly enjoying football here. I think we stand a strong chance of re signing him permanent.
Just watch Man City play David & Bernard Silva when they have the ball the sometimes hold it up quite a while until one of their colleagues move into favourable positions so they can play a wall pass or a quick one two pass to open up the back line. Hairy Back has that ability in him and it will help produce more chances as the team get used to his play all be it a bit fustrating at times.Bright may come across as infuriating but sometimes you need to slow things down and let the strikers runs develop and space open up instead of just forcing things at 100 mile an hour.
