Britt Assombalonga

Can’t wait for you to leave this club. Awful performance from him

We should have taken £8-9m for him in January, instead of trying to hold out for the £15m.

The annoying thing is he will probably end up leaving on a free, and in the mean time, continue to restrict us financially because of the wages he's on.
 
Nmecha was ***** when he came on aswell. And Fletcher was poor. Disappointed as Fletcher has been better than that of late. He looked weak and slow tonight
 
1st game since December. You can't blame all of our bills on Britt.
I can take a poor performance , but I can’t take a player not looking interested and not passing when he has the ball. I can’t stand watching him play for the boro and going off that he doesn’t want to be here . Can’t explain how much he’s annoyed me tonight.
 
Yes Fletcher struggled, he scored a goal from a cracking move
I just feel none of our strikers have the ability to take the ball & run with it to cause defenders into panicking
 
I'm finding it very difficult to rate Nmecha on the very limited amount of time he's played for us.

Britt was well off the pace. He needs a run of games.
 
Tav was awful, couldn't clear the first man, always cut inside on his left, no final ball, would have been better bringing Spence on earlier,and then maybe Geteste for the last 10 mins, and don't start me on Assombalonga........still we move on....
 
Sadly I don’t see it with nemcha either, I overheard someone at the riverside say was he a make weight in the Roberts deal. Hmm you have to wonder.
 
Thought Morrison was good when he had the ball and obviously Wing scored the goals, apart from that not much to shout about . I think the manager got it wrong Tonight and if we played the system that suits our players best we would of won tonight.

Agree block21, but in reality apart from those goals wingy was poor too imho. Gave the ball away a lot. We let them ruffle our feathers at 1-2 we lacked game management. A draw was actually a fair result in the end tbh. We lacked nous.

I’ve said that for a few games now, it sounds mad but apart from score long distance goals he’s not really doing anything else! Can’t knock the lad though as he’s scoring important goals and hope he keeps doing it. But he does need to impose himself more in a game as players find it easy to run rings around him.

We can't complain with his contribution of goals, if he's replaced where will the goal threat come from?
 
Morrison clearly has talent and I think he'd work well with Roberts when he's back in the team.
The biggest problem for me is that most of our midfielders are too similar and they're neither one thing or the other. They're not overly dynamic, combative or creative, they're just a bit of each. If we don't play with wingbacks then none of the midfielders can provide the pace and width and they aren't a sufficiently good blend to control the game through the centre.
3-5-2 seems to me to be the best way to utilise the squad as it is and to give us the width.

Completely agree with dooderooni. Our best run of results came when using wingbacks and we should revert to this system. Morrison reminded me of Downing in the way he moved and made use of the ball. Hopefully more to come from him.
