I think he may struggle to win his place in the 11 back, Dijksteel has been outstanding!
Bola was VERY rustyI thought big Anf was a bit rusty last night but will only get better, our style of play definitely suits him more than it will have done at any other point since he's been here. Before last night he had only played 44 minutes in 6 months.
Nice to have a bit of pace at the back too.
Yeah I thought Bola was shocking but give him a pass due to lack of minutes and being out of position. Could tell he wasn't comfortable receiving the ball higher up the pitch with his back to goal or on the half turn. Usually he has everything in front of him or he's running onto a through ball, takes a totally different skillset.Bola was VERY rusty
He was only playing because Hackney was being rested. Put Hackney and Chuba in for Bola and Crooks and we'll be competitive in the playoffs even if no one else gets fit in time.Bola did get into some good positions though. Just didn't make anything of them.
yeah agreed. good first XI still, but limited options from the benchHe was only playing because Hackney was being rested. Put Hackney and Chuba in for Bola and Crooks and we'll be competitive in the playoffs even if no one else gets fit in time.
Bola did misplace a few passes, but I also saw him play some excellent balls. He is not going to trouble that position through the play offs, but he did pretty well I thought in an unfamiliar role.
to be fair it worked a treat apart from the final shot!It looked to me like Bola was trying to replace Akpom as the late arriving midfielder into the box, which seemed an odd position for him to take on as he is hardly a 2 goal a season player, never mind 30 goals.
