He should be backup striker for Tammy, alternatively DS should consider 4-4-2 we switched to the 4-4-2 when he came on. DS was absolutely right that it was the best way to play him. It's didn't create a goal against Hull, but DS already did what you suggest he should (congratulations on your astute suggestion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 He came on on Saturday, he played in his favoured position, and yet he still gave the ball away too much, and tried to do too much when he got it, and then failed to put the effort in to retrieve the ball. Never been the same player, for me, after the injury. I said previously, get rid, and use the money to get Bowen or Cash from Forest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I am one of his biggest critics, in truth Bolasie wasn't bringing anything Kodjia cannot (Barring crosses) which Bolasie simply did not deliver enough, well on the field of play anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Another who needs to be moved on. He has looked pretty damn poor since his injury, even if you control for him being out of position. He's getting on in years too and is probably on a lot of money. I hope he's sold this window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 21, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2019 Be interesting to see if the club are willing to let him go now with Bolasie gone - I think if the offer is there it might be the right thing to do, even though it's a bit of a risk.

In the meantime a front two of Abraham and Abraham will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was playing in central midfield, left wing and right wing on Saturday so may aswell play two of him up front to go along with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'd sooner we sold Hogan now in this window instead. Kodja - if he can get his act together and find his old form, can still be vital for our promotion push. There is a good player in there and he offers more than fat arse Hogan does.

Either look to Davies and RHM and bring them into the first team or let's find some real capable strikers who are scoring. I still feel like Wednesdays reach or brentfords maupay would be the answer. When Tammy has gone(could buy Reach and Maupay and send Tammy back), could save on more wages since bolasie has gone. Let a striker or two who we buy as our own take up Tammys wages. I would make an offer for them. Think bruce would sell Reach to get money coming in to buy who he wants, there is also barry bannon i think will leave wednesday. Surely Smith is thinking on raiding brentford for some players and I wouldn't hesitate for a few of them. To get our squad back on track, i think Smith would do well to bring some players he is used to, they have some very capable players at brentford, who will do what we want them to do without having teething problems. Maybe bringing in a few brentford players can give there hindsight on how its all done properly in the process and pass some much needed knowledge onto our slow players.

I’m guessing you’re wanting him to fill the Taylor position, rather than as a striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he can player back or left wing, he's one of those players that can be changed and utilised on a whole flank, I think we need those types of players..
