Gyökeres certainly has missed his fair share of chances, but he's scored 11 goals. Trying to dismantle him for the sake of O'Hare who has one goal is cuckoo.
Yes Earlsdon? Please point me to them.

O'Hare missed a sitter literally a couple of games ago.
Gyokeres has missed chances but he’s still a rookie and 11 isn’t bad think he will end up with 15+ which for someone in his debut season would be tremendous.
I'm interested to hear how MR and AV were inept tactically and what you would have done differently. Thought poor decision making by our players and inability to retain possession in the first half plus a mistake by Sheaf in the second half caused the problems.In fairness he misses chances like those every week but people blindly defend him. That's the main reason this thread exists.
Were we better without him today? Absolutely not. However, the biggest issues we faced were the midfield and defence taking valium, Robins being inept tactically, and us spooning chances when presented. None of those things he would have improved.
I genuinely just feel sorry for people that paid to go there today. It was a very weak performance and there are quite a few players that weren't anywhere near good enough.

He's on 12 (13 including the FAC goal). To put that in context, the top league goal scorer in any Championship (or equivalent) season since our PL relegation is 15 (McSheffrey in 05/06). the only other occasion that anybody went past 12 was Lee Hughes in 01/02 (14 goals).Gyokeres has missed chances but he’s still a rookie and 11 isn’t bad think he will end up with 15+ which for someone in his debut season would be tremendous.
Being 2-0 down at half time and not making any changes. That was pretty inept wasn´t it?
That's Mark Robins Achilles heel.
It's not really given that our record of coming from behind is brilliantThat's Mark Robins Achilles heel.
I felt an early change was in order but at the end of the day it’s all opinions based on what we’re watching on the outside. We’ve got no idea what MR was thinking about regarding adjustments/match ups/bollockings at half time and what they might achieve. All we know is; it didn’t fucking work… and we were right in hindsight or by default (pick your poison). MR calls the shots, most of the time they work, sometimes they don’t. He’s not a fucking robot.
Has there been any update on O'Hares injury/fitness since the game on Saturday?
You can't knock his use of subs, when we have such a great record for scoring late goals. Whatever he's doing is actually working.I still absolutely love him, but yes, as you say, it is a bit annoying when it comes to his approach with substitutions.
There is a meltdown pretty much every match thread with most people saying the same thing.
Still, wouldn´t change him for the world. Not even Kenny Jackett.
Infuriates me. It is genuinely seems like he would prefer to go down than back himself to stay up and either execute a pass or shot.The desperate attempts to win free kicks annoys me more than anything. Stay on your bloody feet man.
We didn't really improve that much when he came on; it wasn't until Taveres was introduced then the whole team seemed to get a lift.Changed the game when he came on. The technique to slip on his arse when the ball is laid on a plate to him 5 yards out only to hit it straight at the goalie. Sheer class. Bonus points for the desperate penalty appeal as well.
P.S we lost 5-0 in the away fixture in which he played all game before any starts telling me how “it would have been a different game if he started”
Said it in the match thread but when Jordan Clark for them ran through 4 of our players,he got kicked twice and stayed on his feet and drove forward. O hare would have gone down the first kick on thr half way line. It interrupts our play every time as he'll never break the line because he loves winning a free kick.Infuriates me.

Ref's are wise to him as well. Like the boy who cried wolf - so when he actually gets fouled like he did on one of the recent games (on the touchline by the keeper) - ref's assume he has dived.Said it in the match thread but when Jordan Clark for them ran through 4 of our players,he got kicked twice and stayed on his feet and drove forward.

Out of curiosity has he won a penalty for us this season? I can't think of one if he has?

I think know which thread’s going to get bumped
It just goes to show how confidence can make such a difference. It is great to see and I hope this can be the start of him kicking on.
Thrilled for him.
