Not really. Most of the forwards he’s signed have no pedigree as forwards.
Yup. We are judging players based on a failing system.
At least give players a chance to shine in their natural positions and to their strengths.
We can't only judge on what they have done elsewhere.Not really. Most of the forwards he’s signed have no pedigree as forwards.
Bakayoko doesn't win headers because he has no appetite to. He hid most of the time. If he doesn't want the ball lumped towards him he needs to show himself for a ball to feet or run into the channels, he did neither.It's like when people moan about Bakayoko not winning headers. It was obvious within minutes he isn't a target man and it's not his strength because he needs it to feet or a workable height yet every time we aimlessly punt it forward it's his fault.
May as well moan that Ponticelli isn't scoring 50 yard screamers or winning headers from corners to score when that clearly isn't his game either. His game is finishing, so he needs to be put through on goal or get the ball at his feet in and around the area to get a shot off.
Same as at Oxford where our midfield got overrun all game.
I’d go with that
Don't care who plays.
It can't be worse then Blackpool
And I will be home by 5:30 pm unlike Tuesday when I got home at 5:30 am. And £100 lighter in my pocket.
If only the team could put as much effort in as us fans...
Bang on, and although he's only made a small number of appearances he is living up to what Walsall fans views on him. I hope he goes on and turns into a world beater, but I just can't see it, and he looks very much like a panic signing.Bakayoko doesn't win headers because he has no appetite to. He hid most of the time. If he doesn't want the ball lumped towards him he needs to show himself for a ball to feet or run into the channels, he did neither.
If he does he will be putting his head on the chopping block because we have lost 28 goals from last year and don't look like scoring that many as a team this year.The last time we lost 30 odd goals between a couple of player's we got relegated.Good point about the lack of movement up front. It's easy banging on about keeping it on the deck, but to do that you need players further forward to want the ball, keep moving & alternating positions, and at the moment we aren't really getting that. Regarding Saturday's game, like others I would like to see him go 2 up front & see JCH & Ponti played together, but I suspect Robins will stick with one up front for a while yet.
I bet you are the sort of fan who acts like this in defeats and win 3/4 on the bounce you’re thinking Champions league.
You’ve got valid points but it’s only 4 games...let’s see what unfolds. Go and have a big poo
We should all just call him Anthony Andrew and be done with it.The spellings of Andreu on here are nearly as good as the spellings of Allassani
"Pretty much" or "exactly". Which one? Can't be both.
Ah yes. Sarcasm. The lowest form of wit.Neither actually. It's called sarcasm.
I get that Nick, but why log in again when I'm already logged in? Seems a long way about it? Ah well. Gives me something to do while I waste away my worthless time in retirement! :emoji_grin:
Are you insinuating that my Atari 500 isn't powerful enough?Because your browser probably doesn't remember, so just need to re-authenticate and tick the remember box.
And pedantry is the highest form of twattery.Ah yes. Sarcasm. The lowest form of wit.
Amiga 500Are you insinuating that my Atari 500 isn't powerful enough?
Obviously this depends on who's fit but if all names on the team sheet are fit then:
---Burge---
Grimmer---Willis---Hyam---Mason
Bayliss---Ogogo---Kelly---Thomas
---JCH------Hiwula---
I agree entirely and tell him he's in for the next 5 games. Give him a decent go rather than the bits and piece game time he gets.I’d throw Ponti in there somewhere sometime, he’s got to get in the team when we’re not scoring, surely? What’s the worse that can happen? He fails too?
Burge
Grimmer Willis Hyam Brown
Thomas Ogogo Shipley
Andreu
JCH Hiwula
Definitely time to reinstate Burge and Grimmer
I would go with the same team
