Chaplin has not got either the speed of brain, or speed over the ground to score the goals we need. McNulty had a good football brain

It was surely just based on him scoring?
He was in the box a few times but like his team mates has a phobia of shooting. Chaplin is pretty good outside of the box. He just isnt a natural finisher or striker to me.Nice to see Chaplin score when allowed to be in the position we signed him for IN THE FUCKING BOX !!!
Just had a look on the Peterborough forum and one or two are calling for Evans' head!
In the POs places!
I don't why, as "We’ve come here and we’ve given them an absolute hiding. We should have been three up at half-time, five up at one stage of the game" @steve evans
Serious question - why does anyone make the effort to go to a game and then leave with 5 minutes left when we're just one goal down? Never understood it.How many people missed our goal?

Chaplin seems a clever enough player for me. It's down to the manager to deploy him correctly rather than in this seemingly free role, or that of deeper into midfield.at this stage last season McNulty had 4 league goals having played more games than Chaplin has.
I'd be interested to know how many shots McNulty had taken compared to Chaplin at this stage, for me he (Chaplin) wants too many touches in the box. Get it out your feet and hit it.at this stage last season McNulty had 4 league goals having played more games than Chaplin has.

At this stage last season we were still playing 4231 with the 2 greediest wingers in the league shooting (not assisting mcnulty) at every given opportunity. The minute we reverted to 442 and played to mcnulty strengths, he showed what he was capable of. We've played to Chaplins strengths most of the season so far and he's been given opportunity after opportunity to score goals.at this stage last season McNulty had 4 league goals having played more games than Chaplin has.
Easily rectifiable though you would have thought.I'd be interested to know how many shots McNulty had taken compared to Chaplin at this stage, for me he (Chaplin) wants too many touches in the box. Get it out your feet and hit it.

In this team, given the same opportunities as Chaplin, mcnulty would be on double figures.

Not read the thread but anyone else get the feeling Bayliss is playing for a move and not the team. Always trying the 20 yard YouTube clip shot and not the simpler pass to striker.
Yes i would think so, I've not written him off just yetEasily rectifiable though you would have thought.
10 goals in 13 games, have a day offAt this stage last season we were still playing 4231 with the 2 greediest wingers in the league shooting (not assisting mcnulty) at every given opportunity.

He's playing deep to accommodate Bayliss who is accommodating Doyle, otherwise the central midfield is miles away from the strikersDon't agree about Chaplin, at times we're playing him far too deep. Last week against Burton was ridiculous, he was practically a mid fielder.
MR needs to work on developing his partnership with JCH.
I still have hopes he will come good as McNulty did.
No not st all. He is just young and chases the glory of scoring. Both be does attempt audacious passes too. To be expected. As he gets older his decision making will improveNot read the thread but anyone else get the feeling Bayliss is playing for a move and not the team.

Back away from the beers! It's not even 11First time I’ve seen McNulty in the flesh yesterday, really like his work rate but surprised how much he lacks pace!
I think it’s size you think he’ll be nippy!
For the JCH/Chaplin partnership to work they need to play closer together.Don't agree about Chaplin, at times we're playing him far too deep. Last week against Burton was ridiculous, he was practically a mid fielder.

Which game did you go to then?First time I’ve seen McNulty in the flesh yesterday, really like his work rate but surprised how much he lacks pace!

Know what you mean though, he isn't that quick. It shows when Thomas goes on a run and nobody can keep up with him to support him.
Will it make it tougher with him being the captain and leader?MR surely has to be looking at the Doyle situation after recent performances?
Which game did you go to then?
The Thomas run at the start of the 2nd half was bizarre, he was feeling his hammy before and didn’t seem to be at full speed but eased past their players!
Really should have finished it!
Ah, must have been too busy fingering Jodie Whittaker then to take notice.Lol - I saw shaw score went to a game in the tardis !
Yes.
And it all kicked off afterwards. Not nice at all. Was well in the mix of it.
Didn't even really see our goal.
