kurtsimonw Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I thought he was alright overall. But that's about it. He needs to take the ball further sometimes. We broke 3 on 3 with adomah on the ball wide and crosses it despite having about 15 yards between him and his man, take it closer, even try and take him on in that situation. Wasn't the only time he crossed far too early either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were times when hogan made a run and if the ball was delivered he'd have a tap in, but Adomah took an extra touch and chance wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think this guy lacks aggression and is a bit too weak at times. Very poor game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2017 Not his best today. Decision making was way off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think he's rubbish. Had a few decent games to begin with but he's becoming so one dimensional. He doesn't try to beat his man, surprisingly lacks pace, and his end product is poor. Although, does work hard and defends well, so would be a good sub to bring on when trying to hang on to a lead. I'd probably move Green to the right hand side and play Amavi at left midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Major let down this season for me. I thought he'd be key for us. I can see why Boro had no issues with letting him go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time and time again today he was nowhere to be seen as Derby had 2 men rampaging down the wing unchallenged as Hutton had as he always does, been sucked into the middle. Adomah need to be more alert to this and ensure cover on the right side when Hutton has gone inside Having 2 players who are constantly abandoning their positions of the right meant Derby had a field day down their left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 He was poor today but he is worth a starting place for a few games on the trot to see if he can start learning some proper link up play. Like all our players the constant team and system changes mean he had little idea what service he's going to get and little idea what runs people will make.

Adomah has been involved in 9 of our goals this season which is nearly a third. Traore who I've heard neutrals say looks amazing on MotD has 0 goals and 0 assists in 1128mins.

So Alan Hutton can go wandering where he wants and it's Adomah's fault if that causes a goal. I actually thought Hutton, Adomah and everyone else did a great job defensively today. Was probably Adomah's worst game for us going forward but that can happen for a winger. He'll have good and bad days and has done this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2017 The problem we have is that if we don't play him, we don't really have anyone else who can play down the right hand side - without the possibility of a second striker at the moment - he has to start - the only other solution I can think of would be a very narrow 4-1-3-1-1 formation. He works his socks off and he a solid citizen - but if he gets a knock we're in trouble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also means when he's not having a good game it's difficult to bring him off as we lose all our width. Amazing how thin our squad is given the money we've spent to be honest! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we really don't want to be getting into having people play positions they're not natural at - Bree might be able to play right midfield, I'd have my doubts on that one, Amavi is more naturally attacking, but he's not a good left midfielder at all. We haven't got much in terms of natural width and with only one fit striker that's a big problem. Adomah is absolutely vital right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 In the middle of a "buggers muddle" of a game....where no one could keep control of the ball or find a man.....I think he did ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsworthvilla Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'm not a fan. I think he looks languid on the ball and takes an extra half-second to sort his feet out when he receives it, which to me looks like poor technique. He's also not all that quick at getting forward, so pretty useless on a counter-attack. I'd prefer someone a bit more dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
