hippo Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Always been a least decent when i've seen him in the first team. We haven't lost since he has been dropped from the first team squad - but could he have turned those draws into victories. Im going to trust Brucie on this one though.

Just like N'Zogbia, Veretout and a plethora of other players we have had, selling them is the problem. If Tishbola can't run then who's going to buy him? The biggest probelm at the club for a long time now has been player recruitment. We buy players for decent money and find a way to make them worthless. I just hope Tishbola isn't another for the bomb squad. Of course he could just be struggling with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted November 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 22, 2016 Seriously doubt that is the case here. Hes young, and has of lot of years to prove himself. Id be shocked if he were not given a chance before jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I've always liked what Tshibola has had to offer when given the chance. Hopefully Bruce gives him a run of matches to get some momentum going, as I think he could be a damn good midfielder for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had become a bit more impervious than that. There is still much to do Dave despite the great start under SB PS Its not a criticism more of an observation. Which is not down to the midfield. Players get caught out from time to time by a pass or a turn, or a lovely bit of skill or finish, goals will be conceded. It seems to be a thing in football to look for a mistake in every single one of them when most of the time that's not the case. IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Shows glimpses of his potential, Against Newcastle in the second half he ran the midfield. Fitness is clearly the issue. He's one of those players at a fork in the road. He could turn out to be a bargain and a top class midfielder if he stays clear. Or, he could turn out to be another waste of money. Time will tell.

I take your point....its always been a bone of contention, depending how the situation is viewed.....was it good by them or a mistake by us? I guess by looking for perfection we can get improvement, I was merely pointing out a possible fault by us that Brighton with their good play exploited. some ex players make a TVs career out of it. I did say Dave ( in an earlier post)it wasn't a criticism more an observation. I actually think the transformation is remarkable, but we are not there yet and there is much to do as our manager knows. I actually think a point at Brighton considering their form was very good. incidentally they by passed midfield with the pass and encouraged Chester forward which left him slightly out of position, so I think midfield did play a part.

sne Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Midfield recruits in the summer really hasn't worked out has it Jedinak took almost 15 games to come good(ish) and Tshibola has disappeared from the surface of the earth. Approaching halfway through the season with Westwood and Gardener are both playing regularly with the expected result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the season was almost 15 games in when he started to find any form. That he missade games att the start of the season didn't really help us did it? Those games still count at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little bits we've heard from him, he seems very gracious and appreciative of what he has got (being a footballer) so in that, a bad attitude doesn't really fit. Maybe he has been suffering with a few niggles or simply not favoured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started the Wolves game and hasn't been seen since so he must've done something to upset SB in that timeframe. We're talking about not playing a single minute in 6 weeks, Westwood was a disgrace at Preston and has started most games since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was on the bench Saturday, just maybe he's over coming a niggling injury which he's had since SB has been here. Like you, I've no idea why he's out the side. Maybe there is an issue, I just thing it's a bit harsh on him to think that the only issue can be that he's got a bad attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Wasn't he often injured when at Reading? I don't think it's a surprise that he isn't getting a run in the team given his injury record. He looks half decent when in the side but he will never get a run in the team if he can't get 100% fit.
