With the increasing number of negative comments re his game of late, do fans think that the warnings from the GAS fans are ringing true? A shame if so as he made an immediate impact on his arrival.
Don't want to make presumptions but now he has a more permanent deal I think he may have taken his foot off the gas a bit. He was so keen to make an impression on us in the first place that he took the place by storm a little, sadly happens quite frequently when new additions become more permanent.
I think that, like many others who have been in the side during the recent dip in results, Jo could probably have done more. I'm not sure if it would be fair to single him out for specific blame ( compared with the back line of a few games ago. ) Since Tomlin has arrived, I believe that Kuffour has increased his involvement on the pitch - not sure if it is up to the level of his loan period - hopefully it will continue to grow.
I admit to being one of those that has spoken of Kuffour's performance of late. I am not saying get rid, useless, waste of space or anything of that nature. It is just when your watching Gavin Tomlin sweating buckets for the team, I just wonder what Kuffour is doing at times? If the ball is delivered in the centre of the box, no one is there, mainly because Kuffour has no height, so if it is not delivered to his feet as he APPEARS to prefer, what is he going to do wait? Gazza always seems to direct his kicks with pinpoint accuracy to Tomlin, so even the team or goalkeeper at least is demonstrating imo the preferred target man. Maybe the real issue might be three up front, swap to 442 push Tomlin on the left wing and then let us see what Kuffour does then, or maybe when Spiller is back put him on the left, Tomlin up front with Keds and give Kuffour a rest .
Thr apparent drop in form occured when we change the formation from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3. Kuffor is more of a centre forward than a wide player so it is no surprise his goals have dried up. Still a very good player at this level
Ease up people, strikers have spells of goals in little groups,, before Tuesday how long since Kedwell scored in open play? just give him time and the goals will come.
just remember before tomlin came here he hadnt scored this year!! when kuffour has the ball at his feet things still happen and quiet often he has turned provider for tomlin a few time. hes still a dagerous player to have around and one who can create something out of nothing
