That was the reason for the threadFar too greedy and but for him we would surely have been a goal up very early on. McNulty was free and had a clear run on goal, but instead of make quite an easy pass he chose to have a pop from a difficult angle and about 25 yards out.
So annoying. We are not getting many chances anyway.
The reason is he is greedy. Nowt else to my mind. He doesn't even look up to see where other players are around him.Maybe he doesnt trust the other strikers, and maybe he has reason
Probably depends if another player is in a much better position than him or not.Everyone around me was moaning at him for shooting and not passing. Then when he started to pass and not shoot everyone was moaning at him for not shooting
Was a very poor pass. That goal was all McNulty which several posters will have trouble admitting.Was it not the Duke who passed the ball through to Mcnulty to score then.?

The point of the thread is that The Duke needs to look at himself
McNulty is scoring now
No doubt Duke thinks he's above most of his team mates level but as someone else says he has to realise he's not Pele - or even the Romford Pele come to that
With Jones and Andreu out other people in the team need to be team players
Yep. But if it was out of 5 opportunities, 4 times he wouldn't have passed.Was it not the Duke who passed the ball through to Mcnulty to score then.?
Was it a bit of a miss hit? Couldn't quite tell if the ball just fell to McNulty or if it was a deliberate pass by Nazon.Awfull pass. I mentioned yesterday. That should not even be considered an assist.
Looking at his stats in the league he's had 56 shots, only hitting the target 17 times (30% accurancy) and scoring 6 goals (1 in 9.3 shots). Only 2 assists - first game of the season and yesterday.
That's in 10 starts 6 sub appearances. 949mins that's a shot every 16 mins.
To me those stats back up what people are saying, he's being too greedy, shooting from distance too much and ignoring people in better positions. He should have had a hatrick of assists yesterday. Also according to ESPN he had 5 of our 9 shots at goal and failed to hit the target in any of them.
He's had more shots than the leagues top scorer how has started every game and played nearly 600 more minutes.
He could be a cracking player but really needs to start being a team player. Given the positions he gets possession in, he really should have more than 2 assists this season.

That Swindon goal is the only one he's actually scored from outside the box too. He did change the game at Lincoln but for the 2nd 15 mins of his 30 on the pitch he just did exactly that again - random pot shots from distance. I guess if his decision making was better he wouldn't be in league 2.Well said. On another day one his pot shots like yesterday he did almost score deflected onto the post.
Thing is he is supremely confident, I don’t want him to lose that confidence.
The goal which he scored against Swindon was an outstanding goal. He thinks he can do that every week.

Players have gone mad at him during games, grimmer and mcnulty have I think.The other thing is the toxic atmosphere selfishness like this can encourage in a team. If Duke won't pass to a team mate human nature dictates that the team mate will feel the same when they have a chance to give it to Duke
Twice within the 1st 10mins yesterday with a through ball he could of put McNulty through 1 on 1 but chose a innefective shot from distance instead! We'd be singing his praises if either had gone in. Neither did and he needs to know when to shoot and when to pass. Complete reverse in the second half when we were crying out for somebody to shoot they just wanted to pass! And when he did finally have a shot, 1 was a ridiculous bycicle kick and the other a massive swing and a miss!Needs to decide whether he is playing for the team or purely for himself
Players with permanent contracts are often suspicious of senior guys who come in on loan from higher up the divisions
Some of them think they're doing the club who take them a favour by dropping down to get game time
This doesn't apply so much to young players getting their first chance of competitive men's football
I have a feeling Robins won't stand for too much of his Big Time Charlie attitude
If we can stay in the top six heading into January we would be an attractive proposition for clubs from the top two divisions who want to give young hungry forwards a chance
It's obvious what we need. Pace and hunger
I trust Robins will have the contacts to do what is necessary
These will come in handy again, not just Duke

Then these was this game...
Have a look at some of the goals scored against us, they are laying the ball off to players in space to tap it in.
I've said this plenty of times. JJ and Nazon at times both guilty of making the right decision and going solo. This is why they are in the 4th division tho.
JJ had another, the last kick of the game nearly at Chesterfield. He shot from to most tightest of angles. Plus the fact it went high over the bar. A cut back ball or low drilled ball is the better choice.
What find interesting is what people will accept as trying or class because they are fans favourites.
Others could do the same thing and be hurled dogs abuse at!
Yep, when I have pointed it out previously (probably after that Forest Green game when you could hear McNulty shouting for it and going mental every time he was in space) it is "well nobody else is going to score if they dont shoot" or "it's because the strikers are no good they wont get passed the ball".
If it was Vincenti shooting with 3 players in front of him when Jones or Duck were stood in space for a tap in there would be a meltdown.
