Now I've got your attention I wanted to put a few points out there and hopefully get some answers! Why are we letting Oli leave? we need a big strong CM who can chip in with goals! What was the point in signing McKenna? He's past it and no better than Ashbee but a lot less influential. Why are we wasting the talent of a classy, creative CM like Koren out on the wing to accomodate the wildly mediocre Corry Evans? How the hell is Jack Hobbs our captain!? I've criticised him as a player of late and although I'm not going to do that again he just doesn't seem to have the attributes of a leader, not once yesterday did I see him barking orders at team mates and generally attempting to motivate the team like Ash used to. I know people are calling out for a new striker but if Fryatt gets the chances he will put them away, our main problem at the moment is that nobody is willing to create in midfield. I'd rather us play hoofball and create a few chances than this passing around the defence nonsense it's just so dull! Come on Nigel let's have a positive approach this saturday! UTT
Let's not pretend Fryatt doesn't get enough chances, and that if he did, he'd score. He misses at least 5 one-on-ones for every goal he scores. He's as much to blame as anyone else.
Indeed. No one seems to have had much of a moan about the latest one, in fact I had forgot about it until now. It seems to be our game plan at the moment that Fryatt goes through 1-on-1, forgets to shoot and the keeper knocks it off his toes to another City attacker who from a few yards out with the 'keeper our of the picture, manages to put the ball wide or onto a defender's leg.
I also cannot grasp why Olofinjana is being let go. In the two years since he came here, he's played twice as many games for Cardiff as for us. More seriously, though, he's clearly a quality player, and to let him go after throwing £3m at securing his service and having him play so few games would be criminal. Letting Sir Ashbee go and replacing him with McKenna is ridiculous IMO. PM is like a missing link between James Harper and Ash. Not totally ****e, but ineffective at doing the job he's there for. Your point regarding Koren is exactly what I've been saying for months. We have been sticking him out wide to accomodate a player who is nowhere near as good at doing the same job. A lot of people have lambasted him as lazy, but he is the only player in our team capable of producing a real moment of quality, such as a defence splitting pass from deep. More than any of the others, it's not easy to see why he's so frustrated either.
Fryatt seems to be able to do the tough things easy and finds the easy things difficult, surely the easiest part for a professional football, a striker, is to put the ball in the net, this is his job, which he gets paid well for.
Putting the ball in the net is the hardest thing in football and is why strikers demand large transfer fees
People are overlooking that Olifinjana is a great big jessie. If you think Cairney and Koren are too soft, you must have completely forgotten about Oli. He can produce the odd bit of quality but he's no better than the midfielders we already have who are on reasonable wages. Not the chances Fryatt has been missing lately though.
I wouldn't say they're particularly easy, one on ones never are, it's just he hardly ever gets the shot off, he just runs it into the keepers arms.
Fryatt gets a ton of chances, he fails far too much, hes so poor... Hobbs as captain is just ridiculous, he loves his ex leicester boys...
Don't agree with the comments re Koren, for me he is lazy and disinterested, seems to avoid any criticism whilst the honest lads like Hobbs get stick for doing their jobs, shame we couldn't have sold him the other week.
