villaglint Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Having seen the replay once it is definitely a penalty for me. Pretty much rugby tackled him and nowhere near the ball. Movement was good today and he played his pet without being great. The goals will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted October 21, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2017 Clearly not fully fit as he tired in second half, although if he passed once in a while it might help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he tires himself by doing everything alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitness aside he still makes absolute brain dead decisions mostly with the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Did a lot of donkey work in the first 45 minutes to be fair to him, when we pressed them really well and forced errors and rushed clearances. You see it a lot with long term injuries, players come back and look bright like they have never been away, but they do seem to have a sudden dip. Maybe it is just the initial adrenaline or lack of pre season and fitness work starting to show. Struggled badly 2nd half today. Really badly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I thought he was hit. Some woefully bad decision making again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 It was as bad a striking performance as you will see all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) He still doesn't look sharp or anything like on his game yet which is maybe no surprise as he hasn't long been back from a bad injury. I thought he was much better this week than he was last week and put himself about well. The sharpness and match fitness will come in time. Thankfully we are no longer totally reliant on him for goals whilst he does get back up to speed. Edited October 21, 2017 by markavfc40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I thought he should have been hooked much sooner than he was to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really badly I recall an ex pro (might have been Merse?) saying exactly this on Soccer Saturday many years ago, adrenaline gets you through the first few games then you hit a wall fitness wise. Also missing pre-season is a big miss, and often over looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I agree with all the neggies. but he has really good feet and it deserves a better finish from him. He causes so much attention due to his good ball control, other players should be capitalising as they are. He is a talented player, not yet in the groove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I get the lack of fitness thing, really do, but the absolute idiotic decision making he makes on the ball has **** all to do with fitness. He did this last year too but obviously not gonna get pulled up over it because of the goals he scored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 His footwork at times was brilliant, give him time - Can you imagine when he is firing again in this team ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
