Neither did mason but he started.Didn't help himself with U23s performance at the beginning of the week.
It's not the first time Robins has held a grudge against the player.
Not starting him today is understandable, but not throwing him on when we're chasing the game is baffling.
Our main striker was on the bench, why would you throw on your 4th choice over your main, marquee signing!? That would be baffling.
With JCH putting in another good performance, there just isn't a way for Bakayoko in the team at this moment. Hopefully, he gets game in the Checkatrade and puts in a good performance. Everyone has to earn their shirt and right now, Bakayoko hasn't and it doesn't mean the door is completely shut on him. It was more surprising to me that he didn't come on in the Stanley game.
Andreu is clearly on his way in January
Because the way the game was it wasn't suited for Chaplin. Bakayoko has scored more than Chaplin hasn't he as well?
Our main striker did absolutely nothing, it wasn't the game for him to come on in.
He wasn't the best choice for the way the game was going. He would have been a better option to start and then be replaced.They’re both on 3, with a penalty apiece. Maybe Bakayoko would’ve been a better choice, who knows. The rationale of bringing on your best striker is stronger than bringing on your 4th choice, there’s no ifs or buts on that one. When you lose, you can’t do anything right because had he brought on Bakayoko people would moan about that too.
The whole team struggled when we went route one, Chaplin put in a dangerous ball at the death which ultimately led to nothing.

Yep, byput we are not privy to what goes on, on the training ground, so have no idea whether Brown wws carrying a bit of a knock or not.Neither did mason but he started.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been saying 'introduce him' if you and seen Monday's game, Steve.Wasn’t aware of his performance or lack of on Monday, but today was the day to introduce him I felt the way the game was going.
He had the love or sarcastic love however each of us sang it out but he’d of had all the willing and hopes of a big following supporting him if he’d come on.
To me he seems the type of player who would thrive on feeling supported and loved and no better place than at your former club to silence the doubters/haters

It was definitely the right thing to do to leave him on the bench today. No doubt about it in my mind.
Bakayoko was just completely anonymous on Monday and offered zero. Nowt.

I saw it and wanted him to come on today. Completely different circumstance from an under 23 game. Jones was also pretty anonymous and wax even worse today.I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been saying 'introduce him' if you and seen Monday's game, Steve.

Apart from when he brought baka on then the next week JonesIn general, Robins' substitutions across his time at the club have been poor.
Yeah, but Jones is still recovering from a long term injury. Hardly the same thing.I saw it and wanted him to come on today. Completely different circumstance from an under 23 game. Jones was also pretty anonymous and wax even worse today.
Who says Chaplin is our best striker?
He has the same goal tally as Bakayoko with many, many more minutes on the pitch and given more chances.
Regardless of who's the best or not, Bakayoko would of been sat on the bench camping to get on and prove a point to the Walsall fans (that bothered to turn up). Instead we bring the shortest player in the squad on and hit long balls at him for 10mins. Pointless.

ThereFirstly, point out where I call Chaplin our best striker?
Robins clearly rates him as he spent the whole summer trying to sign him and spent 500k on him. He’s his first choice in MR’s eyes for sure. Whilst I didn’t make it obvious, ‘first choice’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘best’.
We weren’t using Chaplin as a target man, the plan was JCH to flick it on to Chaplin. That yielded one opportunity which wasn’t capitalised on. It happens.
In which case it's even worse expecting Jones to make a difference if he isn't fit. Maybe not his fault but the game passed him by completely.Yeah, but Jones is still recovering from a long term injury. Hardly the same thing.
We expected Jones still to be easing his way back in on Monday. We expected Bakayoko to be pressing for a first team start.
I am not particularly a critic of Bakayoko, but thought he was pretty inept on Monday and offered nothing, not even a single glimpse of anything. It was like he wasn't playing.

It's like we brought bayliss on who made us worse.
You have to see how the game is rather than just say "throw Chaplin on as he is the marquee signing".
I forgot his free kick he scored!
There

That's what I mean, not that oftenThose are really the only two times.
Funnily enough the time it worked the best when Bakayoko came on hasn't been repeated in the two games where we've been trailing since.
