We didn’t have great momentum before the break either. Teams have changed their approach against us and it’s possibly time to tweak what we’re doing in return
Well said. He was running riot when Waghorn was either setting him up or drawing defenders away to free up space for Gyo. I can understand why MR prefers the Godden-Gyo combo, but something seems to be missing the last 2 matches. Not sure if the recent international break has caused us to lose momentum. But today was 2 points dropped against a depleted team. We need something now vs Bournemouth.
January I expect a player or 2 to come in we need competition for o’hare,someone who today comes on and changes the gameWe didn’t have great momentum before the break either. Teams have changed their approach against us and it’s possibly time to tweak what we’re doing in return

Who’s putting these crosses in ? Or should I say who is capable of putting crosses in ?Brilliant with back to goal with the ball on the floor and also strong runner with the ball and into channels. Doesn’t win anything with his head whether flick on or from crosses (I know the quality of crosses hasn’t been brilliant).
I would play him with Walker on Saturday. Despite how poor our crossing is Gyo and Goddens movement from crosses is terrible. Walker tends to make decent runs and can run across his defender (see goal away at Blackburn)

Gyo plays better with Waghorn I’m sure the stats back this up as since Waghorn been injured I’m not sure Gyo has scored
He was taken down when he was through on goal where they got booked, and then at the end had a golden opportunity to score and missed. Not sure it’s true to say he didn’t have the opportunitiesHe works hard and contributes but he didn’t look like scoring last night. He wasn’t in the positions to score, probably dropping deep to help the team get up the field.
He looked quite lightweight and struggled to keep the ball under control but we love him. His channel runs are very good, great use of space generally.
We miss Waghorn. Not for goals, for championship level savvy ness and balance.
Walker loves a near post run. I’d try him with Gyokeres.Our strikers need to make more near post runs.

Not only that but he's dragging them all over the pitch opening up space for othersAgreed. He also put Hamer through after holding up and running at their defence (hamer poked straight at keeper from 12 yards). Not sure what people are watching sometimes. Holding up the ball with big lump defenders all over you isn’t easy. Second half he was a handful
It’s clearly a ”Max” thing with you isn’t it?8 games without a goal.
Doesnt look like scoring
If that was Biamou there would be WW3 on here

this is a joke right?
10 without a goal now.
And still doesnt look like scoring.
Dont look as silly now do i
I actually didn’t think he was too bad in the second half yesterday. He held the ball up decently and spread the play well.
That was when we were on top though. What it proved is we need to get the ball ip to him quicker and not spend our time resetting at the back.
His goal drought has coincided with Waghorn being out but also us abandoning the high press high intensity game for long periods.
I think the point that’s being made about Dabo, is that he’s not a centre half, not that he’s not a good player. And to be fair, he was very poor for that first goal, a total lack of appreciation of what was happening. The argument primarily being made about Dabo is that it appears that come hell or high water, MR is going to play him, even out of position. It’s legitimate posting.We need to drop Dabo because somebody played a first time ball past him, Hyam because he is L2, Fadz (too old and prone to an error, Maatsen too small, Hamer - off elsewhere, Kelly - L1 standard, Sheaf (because half of our forum don't rate him), O'Hare because of his finishing, Godden - too slow, Vik - barren run, Walker - anonymous.
So our team should be Moore, Kane, Rose, Pask, Drysdale, Reid, Shippers, Eccles, Tavares, Ngandu, Waghorn. Obviously recall Bapaga.
This should lift us out of the bottom 3 and would see the soulless bowl filled with positivity.
Different player with Wagehorn next to him.
I wouldn’t drop Gyokeres, he’s the only one who can hold the ball up (in the absence of Waghorn - and what’s the score with him?), and I didn’t think he did to badly yesterday, even if his shooting boots were absent.
