Although i do agree with you it’s not always so black and white. He’s seen an opportunity, the keeper was off his line and took a chance. Had it went in wed all be putting our hands up vvank him off. Slightly harsh to blame him I think
I’m calming down now TBH. I still think it was daft but he’s a young lad. He looks very promising and played really well tonight. Just frustrated to see us play well and not get what we deserve. Again.
Akpom is suited to Wilder's system. A physical presence, quick, strong and willing to work hard pressing high up the pitch. At the very least he's a very good option to have on the bench.
Spot on. Are we any better off for sacking Warnock?
I know you feels man
He's not expected to be the leading scorer this season. That's the job of Muniz and whoever the other striker turns out to be. Football is a squad game and in terms of squad players who offer a physical presence, press and can offer a threat, Akpom is more than good enough.
As a squad player? Either. Do you expect us to have 4 or 5 top quality strikers? That's not realistic in the Championship. And we're going to need 4 or 5 players capable of rotating in and out with the kind of football Wilder plays as it's very high intensity. Akpom offers a physical presence, pace and hard work, he can come on for the last 20 or 30 minutes of games and play alongside a main striker in other games - and he'll provide those qualities.
. Reading - poor, deserved what we got. Swansea - cruising before making hard work of the last 20 minutes. Watford - gave as good as we got but switched off at the end against possibly the best squad in the division.For the record after 7 games, this time last year we had 9 points, conceded 8, scored 8, lost 2. This year we have conceded 12, scored 10, lost 3 times.
All of those three objectives.
Evening FunkyI’ve seen every league game this season and we’ve been the better side, or at least equal in everyone bar Reading . West Brom - should have been over by half time. QPR - awful twenty minutes but then fought back and could easily have drawn. Sheffield Utd - gritty and should have won it at the death. Stoke - Battered them but some how drew
We aren’t as far off as some are making out from being a very good side. Fry would be my first name defender on the team sheet, I don’t care if he’s not a great passer or brings the ball out like Bobby Moore, he’s our best centre back in the middle, it’s as simple as that and he should be playing. Clarke Fry Lenihan, that’s your back three. Wing backs are a given in Jones and Giles, but there is definitely something not right in midfield. Crooks scores goals and can’t be left out, Howson and Mowatt are not mobile enough to play in the same team, we need someone in there who can do the graft that Tav did. Seen enough of McGree now to know he’s not the answer as a number ten - every shot he’s had this season has ended in row Z, he just tries to break the net every time, no composure whatsoever. Muniz looks top quality, he’ll score and create plenty - get someone alongside of equal ability and they would score a hatful. It also has to be said we had zero luck so far with several decisions that have happened during games. We could easily had another 4 or 5 points on the board with a little bit better run of luck. I think our season is going to hinge on whether we get another top class striker and midfielder in now - we’ll know the answer in 48 hours i guess !
It’s the only time I’ve seen him have any composure in front of goal unfortunately. He’s a squad player for me, not a starter roofieEvening Funky
McGree did score a spectacular opening goal in our 2-1 win [our first win this season] against Swansea.
