Needs a spell on the bench, never a lone striker, confidence shot and at times in games looks uninterested. Agard should be back in the starting line up, especially after his excellent performance today.
he just may need a rest, confidence shot, doesnt like playing lone striker does he, can tell by his body language he feels unconnected.
Perhaps he needs a couple of days back in France with his family to get his head back on his shoulders. Who knows?
I wonder if playing Agard alongside Kodija would work? On the face of it they seem similar, however if Kodijas was left to play up top and not running the channels, leave that to Agard, he may well be more effective. Just a thought, have they played together much?
As soon as he gets another goal he'll be back on form. He needs players to play off of. Reminds me of Baldock. Didn't get the service and then all of a sudden got the right link up becoming top scorer. Thought wilbs and agard worked well together for last half hour
Also Lee is supposed to be good at working with players to get back up to form. Hopefully he can get Kodjia back on form
Scores in one game what happened in the last ten? If players are out of form for prolonged periods others should be given a go. Its arguable if Agard was given a start during those games we may have picked up more points.
But we don't know that do we? he's top scorer and in the main done well this season....nothing unusual to go through a bad patch......good on him
I hope he scores in every game. Unfortunately he was flogged into the ground and was clearly in need of a rest for his own good. It was at that point that a change needed to be made.
Very few strikers score regularly as the opposition figure out how to minimise the risk. The bottom line is however that he is our top scorer and worth his place. LJ must learn what compliments his skoills
You have clearly never played as a striker.. the last thing you need is 'a rest', You need patience and loyalty and a goal to come to restore confidence.. when one comes along another often follows. (as proven) Anyone with a modicum of any football knowledge can see Kodjia is quality and could and will play at a higher level. a little fragile, yes. but he'll toughen up. Ozil was exactly the same for Arsenal.. There are many fans across the Championship who look enviously at our top scorer!
I agree a guy that does not score in ten should be dropped,However it just shows how weak we are up top when the manager keeps going with the same up front. i was at MK yesterday,and to be frank Kojak scored two goals but did not do a lot else. Now people will say that is what a striker is paid to do,which i agree. However 10 games he has played and not scored.That is not acceptable in keeping a place. He goes down for the slighest touch,as yesterday. It tells me how weak we are up front,when the management keep playing him. Priority is two quality strikers for next season,they are not going to be cheap,however we would not be where we are this season if that had been sorted earlier in the season.
