tinker Posted January 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2019 Looked good to me , caused Swansea problems , needs to be on the bench and given time on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately even if you multiply zero with 90, it doesn't add up to anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'll say it again, this guy played over half the fixtures in a season where we finished 4th. As our 4th option in the striking department, it really goes to show that we have men able to step up if Abraham leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean someone stepping in to chip in with the goal like Adomah did in the first half of the season (and Grabban in the second half). I’m all for giving Davis a try there, bringing others into play but I wonder who it will be to actually put the ball in the net. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of team football however is it doesn't matter who takes the glory as often it's the open man in the opportune moment. The scary thing is though, it looks like Hourihane will be the only player to emulate last seasons efforts on goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I think he is a bit of a lazy player, thinks he is better than he is. Given the opportunity (maybe a chat in the board room) taking Abraham's place, you think the guy would give 110%. Iv'e mentioned attitude before about Davis, an I think that's going to hold his performances back on the pitch, we will see? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I think people underestimate what he did in the side last season, especially when Jack was injured. We don't have another forward like him; strong, holds up the ball, brings others into the game and can beat a defender with skill and pace. He may not be the greatest finisher, but we always seem to play better going forward when he's in the team, mainly because the ball sticks when we go direct. Looked really sharp yesterday considering he's been out for a long time. Has a huge role to play now that Tammy's on his way out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 He created space which allowed Adomah, Hourihane and Snodgrass room to pop up and score He isnt going be a 10 goal a season striker but has his uses 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 A far better, more skilled and intelligent footballer than people give him credit for. Bruce just turned him into a big lump and a target man which is a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'd play him up front ahead of all others if Tammy goes. We work as a team with Davis. For me his disappearance at the end of the season last year contributed to our indifferent form. Especially when we had Hogan coming on as a sub instead of him, Hogan who is invisible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 He actually worked best last season playing alongside Kodjia, which wasn't for many games but they looked a potent duo. I don't know if we can manage two up top, but if we can that might be an option worth exploring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no clue where you have come under this impression. Every time I've seen davis play he plays with commitment and pride. His finishing is just poor. If he could finish I think he could be a 15-20m player as he does alot. Just listen to what terry was saying about him last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don’t think his finishing is that bad he got hin self in to good areas last season and was unlucky , probably affected his confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball actually stuck to him when he got it and he worked to create some space for others. Way more about him than Hogan. I think he's the kind of player who won't be prolific, but will create goals for others. To be honest I'm not sure he'd work that well in our current system if I'm totally honest. But I'd much rather play him than Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Not a goal scorer. If we’re serious about getting out of this division, then we probably need to find another Tammy. This guy isn’t it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
