I think Aluko will leave and start tearing it up again. We'll be left scratching our heads. He's a quality player no doubt but for whatever reason it's just not happening for him here. Doesn't help that Bruce seems to think he's a target man and has the lads catapulting 80 yard hoofs to him.
He'll probably go to Burnley and link up with that Andre Gray fellow who we didn't think was worth splashing the cash for.
For Christ Sake!!! All this on Aluko!! He's not a striker and never has been. I'd like to see him instead of Clucas who in the last few games has been diabolical! No end product! Aluko likes to run at people and bring people into the game, does Bruce enjoy the challenge of struggling. It's so frustrating!! Stick him on the wing, problem solved.
As I said before, there is no glory for him out on the wing so he will not play there. Give him away - problem solved!
Clucas didn't have his best game Saturday, but you obviously weren't there as it was his cross that lead to Akpoms goal, so to say no end product is not accurate.
Adelakun scored for Scunny last night. He's not getting enough games under Robbins. Get him signed Brucey
Hell yeah! That's 5 goals from 51 appearances - sounds like he went to the same "School for Strikers" as those other 'goal machines' Altidore, Graham, Sagbo and Cousin. Are you fukcing serious Chazz!
It's the first goal he's scored in 14 games so far this season, that's probably why he's not getting many games.
One of the stats lads might look at ground covered per game last season (or before!?) As I am sure I saw somewhere that Hudds was second only to Jake.
We need a left wing back to give Robbo some serious competition, and if we can get someone who can play on the right as well as left, then that will give Dave some much needed competition also.
Everything sounds wrong in that respect as Bruce also made comment to Davis being too wide and not central for their goal; looks like a clash of how to play CB and I think we all know who will win this one.
Wouldn't mind Crouchy for 6 months on loan if he could be convinced, seems eager to get away from Stoke for some game time. I suspect he'll end up in London though
I wouldn't say he's been great, he's a runner who will put a shift in and gallop around the pitch all day, can win a challenge or two and defends from the front, but he's indecicive and technically lacking, particularly at the key end of the pitch. How often does he pick the wrong pass or cross in the final thrid, how often do his crosses ever even get past the full back marking him and into the box, nevermind find a player in a dangerous position? Yes the Elmo one at the weekend how many more can you think of? I do like Clucas and think he could turn out to be a good player, but he's not there yet and I think we have better players to play there (Maloney). And as we're one of, if not the strongest squad in the league and have good defenders, I don't think it's neccesary to have 'put in a shift'ers all over the park, and in key attacking positions we could do with players with a bit more attacking flair.
I don't think I could pick a player for wooden spoon first half it was terrible all over the pitch. In the second half he pushed through and made the break through for the second goal.
