What is your point?
Both Godden and Hiwula got 14 goals last year.
Robins has deemed Ponticelli not at the right level. Tranmeres manager evidentially agrees. Most people who have seen him play also agree he wasn’t up to the level. But a few still hold onto a quote from god knows where about ‘he’s the best natural finisher in the history of world football’. Get over it lads, he’s not the messiah.

We haven’t scored in 3 games against 11th, 19th and 20th in this league, and even worse we had had Godden for two of those. He doesn’t need to be the messiah to be considered for a place in the team.Robins has deemed Ponticelli not at the right level. Tranmeres manager evidentially agrees.

Differences: A) Baka is terrible at football. B) Godden has proven he can score goals.Does it not say something that we had Godden in the team and he missed sitters but everybody including Robins is fuming about Bakayoko?

He's that good he struggles to get into a bottom 5 League 1 side...Forget it guys, he's a natural goal scorer, so there is absolutely no fucking chance of him getting game time here!

I've already said that the kind of striker they're in need of is different to the kind of striker we're looking for. We're creating chances so are looking for a finisher to put them away so we're not so wasteful. Tranmere are looking for someone who can add more all round and get them further up the pitch.
If that’s your idea of proven shite then I’m not sure if you’ll ever be pleased.
I thought you said we didn’t need another forward and should spend the money on a forward coach to improve the conversion rate?
Have you been in a coma for the entirety of this season?
Did you stop to ask yourself why they are bottom of league 1 ?He's that good he struggles to get into a bottom 5 League 1 side...

They’ve both got 4 each. They will both score over 10 and probably one will go past 15. Actually fuck it, let’s get rid and bring ponticelli in. That will solve everything
My question still stands. Have you seen any of this season? Our forwards aren't good enough.

I was hoping that it would be one of those that just flares up and goes away with an injection and a few days off, knowing our luck it'll need an op though.Godden is probably going to be out for tonight too isn't he?
Robbins needs to really change things up front.
June 2021.
As to why we've got so many shit forwards at present and in recent seasons you've got to be looking at the scouting, recruitment and coaching. To a lesser extent maybe the tactics, but given how many chances we create this appears to be less of an issue.
The last decade has seen the most prolific number of goal scorers I can remember for some time
your strange ability to over analyse things mean you analyse nothing

What does he do tho nick ? We seemed to have put our eggs in the 433 basket Hiwula has been a let down now Jobello is out we need to either sign 2 wingers/inside forwards or change the system.Godden is probably going to be out for tonight too isn't he?

I have said similar on a different post. That formation, with Kelly sitting really deep (almost a Busquets for Barcelona role) with all the width coming from Mason and Dabo. Of course, it might not work but it appears to suit the players available and also frees up O'Hare to have a creative license.What does he do tho nick ? We seemed to have put our eggs in the 433 basket Hiwula has been a let down now Jobello is out we need to either sign 2 wingers/inside forwards or change the system.
4312 would be my suggestion with O’Hare Number 10 Godden & another striker together,Kelly,Walsh & Shipley in midfield...maybe play Hiwula & Godden together upfront tonight if Godden is fit nearly 30 goals between them at this level last season.
People have mentioned Eisa a few times saying we should of got him Peterborough play 41212 he’s up front with Toney but even Eisa would struggle on his own for us,Godden played in a 2 for them last season.
Good investment by the posh in eisa he will have added a few million to his price tag by the end of the season and potentially have fired them to the championship with tonev and Maddison they are as good a front 3 as you will find at this levelWhat does he do tho nick ?

If he does persist with the 4-3-3, at the very least I'd swap Hiwula to the right of the 3 for a couple of games. A lot of his worst efforts this season have been when the ball has come across the box to him and he has to shoot on an angle with his left foot. Let him get those type of chances on his preferred right foot where he can confidently stick his laces through it and maybe he'll grab the goal that brings his confidence flooding back. It's not like he's an inverted winger, Jodi Jones type of player who picks the ball up deep and drives at the defence before cutting inside in on his right. Hiwula is the only striker we have who makes runs in behind the defence - play him in a position that means the ball is on his stronger foot when he gets there.What does he do tho nick ?

Looking at tonight’s game do we see robins changing it ? 433 with a failing left sided Hiwula & no right sided player I think we will be beaten well if he doesn’t change it...If he does persist with the 4-3-3, at the very least I'd swap Hiwula to the right of the 3 for a couple of games.

I hope that was intentional!!!!Good investment by the posh in eisa he will have added a few million to his price tag by the end of the season and potentially have fired them to the championship with tonev and Maddison they are as good a front 3 as you will find at this level
