Also he just couldnt hold the ball up. Yesterday albeit just from brief highlights he seemed to keep the ball up fiekd and hold it up well. Also against a very physical Notts side well too.Had to read this twice, was saying no no no in my head. I read it again and it’s yes yes yes!
Totally agree.
His inclusion in the side earlier in the season was clear he was just lacking slightly, too raw and game management wasn’t quite there against league clubs but showed his ability to finish in the FA Cup.
MR did the right thing and handled his development perfectly. Took him out the spotlight and continued hype to play him, played him in the u23’s to keep him sharp and confident with goals.
Now the time is right to give him another go, pitches are far better again back to what he’s used to playing on and MR looks to use a 4231 system to accommodate his predatory nature.
It’s still a gamble but he sent out a marker.

Thats were he needed to improve and has done.Scoring goals too helps.
GET HIM ON THE PLANE GARETH
Well well well, it’s only taken 42 fucking games for the penny to drop!
We could be already promoted if MR could see what some of us have been saying all season.
If ponticelli wasn’t ready before now, then what the fuck made Biamou ready for first team football?
Whatever league we find ourselves in next year, MR needs to understand the following,
1. Burge is horribly inconsistent.
2. Haynes can’t defend.
3. Kelly and Doyle sit too deep.
4. Kelly slows everything down.
5. bayliss is wasted on the wing.
6. Biamou just dosnt score goals.
7. We have no pace.
8. ponticelli is a gifted and natural finisher.
Hes managed him perfectly.
When other players are tired after a long hard season, this lad is chomping at the bit. The competition for places up frontt is very exciting and should get that extra % from everyone.
Could this though be the start of a change of tactics?
MR hinted in his interviewd RHS has been an issue all season.
Without jinxing it, (really dont want to mention this)this is easily our longest goal scoring run by probably double through this season.
Last time we drew a blank was Accrington.
So although the defense has let in a few more, we are certainly are scoring a few more. That needs to continue.
Is he? Someone said he was from Birmingham?He's Beduff / Italian. Is he available for England?
Was at the strachan foundation in rugby prior to joining the u18’s

That was a chocolate bar stuck up the assThat was just a careless whisper
Totally agree. The call for him to be played much earlier were premature I feel.people will see his last two games as evidence that Robins should have played him more.
I think it's proof that Robins has handled him exactly right. He clearly wasn't ready to be playing week in and week out earlier in the season.
Maybe Ponticelli is our saviour after all and Robins does know what he's doingIs this him now catching that monkey?
What a string to our bow it will be if he can now cement his place in the side so we have two out and out natural goalscorers in the team.
Can't see Robins dropping him now after 3 goals in 2 games for us.
I still think Harry Kane looks shit but he scores goalsThat 2nd goal yesterday looked class. I didn’t think he was capable of those sort of finishes...looks very confident.
I’ve only seen fleeting appearances of his and he hasn’t done much, which is probably not his fault. What’s his all round play like? Is he a mick Quinn, like someone suggested, or a league 2 Harry Kane?
PS
I also thought Harry Kane was shit when I first saw him play.
Yeah but where is he from?

Sorry, but simply do not buy that Biamou/Ponticelli analogy at all.
Biamou clearly played at first team level in the National League, while Ponticelli was only playing academy football and for the U18's at that.
We only signed Ponticelli in 2016 when he was a raw 17 year old talent.
Biamou was rightly ahead in the pecking order and Robins has done the right thing. Ponticelli was far too raw earlier in the season to warrant a place.
Hats off to the manager for bringing him on and introducing him gradually as the season has worn on.
He's from Bedworth & went to Nico, as did Camwell. My kids went to the same school & know them both. There isn't a hospital in Bedworth, so that's why he would be shown as born in Nuneaton (George Eliot Hospital).Wiki, for what its worth, says he was born in Neaton.

The last bit was a bit tongue in cheek but having seen us play in the top division for many a long year I’m not giving up hopeI just think Ponti is one of those priceless natural goalscorers. He could prove to be the key to getting us promoted this year. I’d love us to keep hold of him but in year or two he’s going to be a top striker in the PL imho. Hopefully we’ll be there with him
