Yeah max power was standing just behind me to centre at the back We had a great day and thought we edged it and deserved to have won
back home great day out worse 45 mins of season in first half IMHO but second half we should have scored more than the 2 we did total dominated hopefully Rigg injury not bad and why didn't Mayenda shoot at end it frustrating why we can only play good for one half
Leeds will finish top two. Piroe showing what we are missing. Just score the opportunities a decent striker expected to take.
Think Isidor has missed two major chances this season imo taken the rest. think it’s the squad as a whole that’s just missing chances
Would have been a great pass if he'd had time and space to pick it out, to hit it blind on the turn (on his weak foot?) was impressive. Interesting player Wilson, most if not all of his goals have been top class finishes, he's got loads of talent. Maybe add a few pounds of muscle, get him trained up on back to goal CF play and you could have a real player.
His only weakness for me is his strength like. His movement and finishing is there for us to see. Can also link up well
Isidor has his qualities if used properly but he is not the man to play as a no9. His hold up play is weak and for a striker he is weak in the air. Use his pace out wide & focus on his positives. 6 goals from 20 appearances from a team dominating most games and creating chances isnt enough IMO.
Averaging a goal every 2.75 90s. we don’t have a main man it’s not how we play. We’ve got 13 different goalscorers this season with 10 having 2 or more and 3 players on 4 goals behind Wilson.
We really aren't creating enough chances for him mind, the numbers show that. I'm not Isidors biggest fan, I think his hold up play is really bad, his movement is extremely inconsistent and his out of possession work isn't great but his finishing is very good. My opinion is that he'd absolutely flourish in a side that create 3/4 chances for the striker every game and doesn't need the striker to help with build up play but unfortunately for us we create maybe 1 good chance a game and absolutely need the striker for build up play. Good player but a bad fit for us at the moment.
Only thing I can’t agree with is movement. I think if we played the balls to him you’d notice it more. But can appreciate hold up play comment do think he links up well with Rigg and the wingers though. And he works hard off the ball. Sometimes gets a bit lost off it though we’ve just not been giving him the chances to score
I want to see a run of games with Aouchiche in Riggs position now, think he could really help with the creativity issue we have. Hopefully Roberts can keep flashing balls across the front post as well
Completely agree can’t remember if it was you I said it to but we’ve got a lot of players who want to be on the end of the final ball but only really Roberts who’ll create more than be on the end of it I think AA is our most creative midfielders
I just enjoy watching this team and being in the position after so many **** years. We are competitive in every game. I hate saying stuff like this because football is so fickle but I love Regis. So measured, no panic, doesn't make subs for sake of it like ross or Mowbray. Believes in the players.
Hope Rigg is Ok. In the short term if he’s missing games, hopefully Samed is fit and can play allowing Neil to play further forward. Failing that I’d rather we tried Aleksic than Aouchiche.
Yeah he goes down far too easily, I don't know if it's a lack of strength or if it's that he hasn't grasped that it's a harsh league and he's not winning the free kicks he's trying for, but a bit more muscle would be beneficial. He's got a good frame to build on, tall and naturally athletic. I don't know if it's best to train him as a CF or if we should swap him with Mayenda, he's definitely a very talented lad and someone I want us to keep and develop though.
From what I could see whilst working, we were obviously quiet first half and struggling with their seemingly gung-ho approach. I seem to remember them being better than us one game their not long back but we ended up winning. 2nd half we looked a different side, we really should have won, but for once I'm content with that point, knowing what it could've been. I'm gonna be repeating other's opinions here but... Dan Neil, he was wonderful and has been a fantastic addition these last ten or so games, been doing exactly what I want from him. His little movement and pass when Isidor scored was sublime yet simple stuff. When concentrating but relaxed he is a Rolls Royce in this league. Mayenda blew hot n' cold, he's terrific and scaring full backs, he's so strong and very quick, his dribbling is sometimes good and sometimes poor, he's not a great passer or crosser, he's seemingly wasted at times out wide, but then when he gets their full backs going he's a right handful. I feel for him, but he definitely just had to do something there, whether it's try go round the keeper, open onto the left, go with the right... In the last few years, I've not really been interested too much in what our managers have had to say. There's been some canny soundbites, laughable in one of two ways. But Regis is someone who speaks so much sense, I read some of his quotes in here and twitter and its just quality stuff, none of this old school cliche ****e, he gives excuses but valid excuses that are more insights into what went wrong and why. He's rectified a lot of issues game to game I feel. I do feel that the sub stuff does play its part. Fresher legs running the lines with 10 minutes to go can make a big difference when under the cosh. I do wonder whats happened with Aaron Connolly, he's a good player at this level, I'm sure of it. We've seen at times what he's about. As a few have said, who next with Rigg probably missing? AA you'd think, but I'd argue AC is more suited for Reg. Aleksic needs to be featuring where possible.
Don’t think he needs to add muscle just think he needs to stop going down think it’s your point of he’d get those free kicks abroad, just getting used to the league absolutely a natural centre forward mind
