Exactly. Shows his final ball is wank when he does actually attempt to pass instead of cut back again, hes had loads of touches in the penalty area yet has only 1 goal 1 assist, and doesnt get enough shots off

Im not saying hes shit, im saying for a player whos playing in a free scoring attacking team, he's not come on as much as the others

He doesn't look fully fit and firing yet , still has been performing more than adequately

His final ball and final decision making needs to improve but he’s a constant threat. He’ll get there

Its like he’s not learned refs aren’t falling for that this season and it wastes so many good opportunities.

Been disappointed with him for a while. Just doesn’t seem to be finding his groove and I think he’s lucky there’s no other options at the minute tbh.

12 games unbeaten and you still think half the squad are underperforming or need replacing ....
Do you have anything positive to say about any of the squad ?

I agree

When Rudoni is fit, id drop him and put Asante left

Is there anything you don't moan about @Saddlebrains

He does get into good positions and seem to fluff the chances.

Nah, BTA and Haji need to remain central if they keep up their form. BTA is getting most of goals playing centrally.

If anything, there’s a more compelling case to play 5-3-2.

I've not been impressed at all so far this season, which is strange considering the run we are on, and our record goals tally.

For me there is just far too little end product to anything he does, and I think his place will be taken by BTA once Rudoni and Torp are back.

I also expect another wide player to join us in January putting further pressure on his place.

Here’s the problem, I think Asante has been the most effective he’s ever been since playing the 10 role! I’d not want to move him out left whilst he’s consistently scoring goals!

Don’t think that’s true at all about BTA. We played 5-2-3/3-4-3 on Tuesday

Yes, lots. And I want to win the league this season. I don’t think we’ll get a better shot so yes I want us to be ruthless. If players aren’t performing I want better. That will continue until we’ve won everything in football several times over tbh.

My issue with 5 at the back is that Grimes at his best often slots into make a 3 in possession. We go 5 at the back we have one less forward and crowd an area of the pitch that has been working well.

It’s true he’s scored a few goals playing RW/LW but as a player, he makes all his big plays in central positions. I could wrong here, most of his goals playing wide comes from the right rather than the left. If that is the case, the solution isn’t as straightforward as putting BTA at LW.

Frankly, Sakamoto and EMC did better at fulfilling the role of a winger v Pompey. BTA’s movement for both goals was fantastic.

The form he is in, he has to play. Right now, it makes sense in my mind to stick Rudoni out wide because he’s got the work rate and crossing ability. In any case, we have the luxury of easing Rudoni in when he returns from his injury.

The idea of our front 3 this season though is that they are playing narrower generally. His position has largely been dictated by who else in the squad is available - Sakamoto out for a few games so he played on the right, ditto EMC on the left, now short in the middle so he’s gone there. I don’t think you can necessarily say positions do/don’t work for him based on such a small sample size.

I’d at the very least be trying him at LW a bit more as EMC doesn’t seem fully fit, and my hunch is we’d probably be seeing that if we had another (capable) central player to shake it up.

"Coventrian Contrarians" are at it again on here this morning. EMC is a fine winger.
Our No 11 in my book , every week.

Playing Rudoni out wide and BTA in the 10 would be ridiculous lol

From memory Rudoni did used to play off the left with us in the earlier days
