Demitri_C Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah it sucks but we cant rely on the one player. Teams get you up not indivdual players. We definitely need to get a loan striker in as 4 weeks is still speculating could be longer and also he has to rebuild his fitness which is more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 great opportunity for Davis, RHM, O'Hare and Hogan to show what they can do. And for Bruce to show he can manage winning teams without a star striker to bail him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted September 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) This is a bit of a double edged sword for me! The emergence of Davis has redefined what we need from our forward(s) The team is stronger than last year and we need to take advantage of that, which means attacking as a unit. Can Kodge learn bring others into play? I fear his reintroduction may actually harm the team, hope Im wrong though!

It's great Davis is coming through but we need Kodjia's unpredictability in the final third and consistant goalscoring. Talk if he gets through the under 23 game he'll be on the bench for Boro.

rodders0223 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) The day after is the Boro cup game. If he comes through the U23 game with no issues is there any chance he makes the bench? BE LIKE A NEW SIGNING.

It annoys me somewhat that Bruce and Wyness have been saying what a good week it was before the international break. To me the Norwich game is the only game we have looked any good this season, the 2 cup games have kind of hidden how bad a start to the season its been. Watching the Bruce prematch conference I was fuming when he said apart from 45 minutes against Cardiff we have had a fine start... no we most certainly havent!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wigan game cant be discounted, it was still our squad and showed some other options we have in it. Yes the 3 opening league games were poor, the hiding from that, but we have been fine since.

I would love to see a Kodja & Davis partnership, but he'd have to be utilised as a wide forward rather than a left-midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right, but had they been up against a better side rather than league 1 2nd string I doubt we would have put 4 past them.. I agree that it showed some good options but at the same time had we lost that game then I wouldnt have used it as a stick to beat Bruce with as much as I'm not singing his praises for it. But Bruce using that to try and hide the deficiencies of his usual performances (bar the Norwich game) is annoying, thats all I'm saying. As for Kodjia, we need him back badly - if you look at Bruce's record without Kodjia its not only relegation standard but straight bottom of the table standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
