I agree on the latter point, in fact I made the same point above.
As for being a poor man's Heskey?? (...shudders...)
I agree on the latter point, in fact I made the same point above.If you think his role is to score goals, you're missing the point. His role is very much to enhance the team, to bring other players into the game and to press defenders and so on. A poor man's Heskey if you will. The guy got player of the year for Burton in the 14/15 season (L2 Champs), scoring a colossal 5 goals in 40 odd appearances.
I think his goals, or lack of, becomes a problem when he's partnering players who are short of goals. Nazon got a goal, Jones is doing well but I think McNulty (when fit) and Biamou need to get some goals sooner rather than later, especially with Andreu out.

Beavon will never score goals. It's funny as you often criticise stokes for passing yet as robins points out his defending is rock solid - no one gets past him but Beavon makes a couple of assists a year and one goal and it's fine.
He's the new Robert Rosario
Bet you 50p he scores on Saturday
I'd be happy just to avoid defeat on Saturday. Certainly don't think we'll be walloped like we were in the Cup game.
I wonder what odds you'd get on that.4-3 Cov
Jones, Willis, Doyle & Biamou

I shuddered to remember the cheese eating surrender monkey display last year in the FA Cup so decided to look up that day's line up
Playing a team with no defensive midfielders apart from Maycock who was a very young kid at the time perhaps gives a clue as to why we were completely overrun
The team was as follows:
Burge
Willis
Turnbull Booked at 84mins
Harries (McCann) 45'minutes
Page
Maycock Booked at 43mins (Reid) 45 minutes
Gadzhev Booked at 90min
Bigirimana
Lameiras (Jones) 75 minutes
Sordell
McBean
I think it may well be a draw and I'd be well happy with that. Keep us ticking along.
No! I've got my ticket and I want revenge (2-0 minimum.)I think it may well be a draw and I'd be well happy with that. Keep us ticking along.
Yes a lumbering League 2 alehouse centre forward. Saw him a couple of times at Crewe and if nothing else is a handful. As you said, bound to score.Ikpeazu is utter shite.
Honestly. Awful.
Now bound to score...
I really think we should accommodate McDonald, but also think he will be on the bench.I can see it being a 1-1 draw but hope we get the win the fa cup game still haunts me!! Think we may be unchanged but he may try to get McDonald back in?
Would not surprise me though if McDonald on the bench think he will line up.
Burge
Grimmer
Stokes
Davies
Willis
Doyle
Kelly
Jones
Vincenti
Nazon
Beavon.
Subs: O'Brien, DKE, McDonald, Maycock, Stevenson, Biamou, Ponticelli

I don't buy this stick with a winning team thing unfortunately.For me you have to stick to the winning team assuming everyone is fit. The duck will score goals and be a handful in his league. Hope he recovers in time. Maybe McDonald for Davies in the only change but he would be hard done by.
Rest of the league look good and solid and the clean sheet indicate this although Carlisle missed a few sitters on Tuesday for example. I have noticed the finishing in this league is abysmal imo.
I would take a draw so 1-1.
Both pretty strong defences so I wonder if this is going to be a bore draw or a 10 men behind the ball type game
Oh yeah, can see a red card coming out of that midfield mash up!Cambridge are big bastards. Uche and ibhere upfront are both 6ft 3 at least. Deegan in midfield apparently been their mom 4 times already so that midfield match up will be good. On the wings they have no real pace but minguia has excellent delivery so whilst he will point blank refuse to run past a man, he can ping it onto the target. At the back they have leon legge, another big player who is fairly quick. This is a real test now for our squad. Early goal for us their crowd turn, they are not convinced by Derry in charge. They don't score many but don't conceded any. 0-0 is a very tempting prediction.

I hope Doyle winds Dedham right up. Deegan is just a thug that can't keep his head and Doyle is more subtle at what he does. Would definitely stand a good chance of a win if we can get them down to 10 men.
You mean like Yeovil who had conceded lots? That went well.Both pretty strong defences so I wonder if this is going to be a bore draw or a 10 men behind the ball type game
Doyle does seem a proper wind up. I watched him in the week and he was at it all game. He gives it the standing on the feet, studs down the back of the ankles etc which aren't flying karate kicks but they seem to wind the opposition up.
On Saturday their player was trying to kick off all game.
If it does the job and gets us 3 points, it works for me.
That's where I think he is clever - he seems to be a master of the dark arts - without actually being wound up himself (unlike some of his opponents). He will pick up a few yellows - and maybe the odd red if he gets 'caught' by an official, but he doesn't seem to suffer the red mist moments that he causes in a few of his opponents. I shouldn't like this, but as one of ours, more than happy!
