BobBobSuperBob Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Super said: Totally agree. Bizarre that neither were brought on at the weekend. Agree It sounds negative - But at 2-0 in the second half I thought the game looked dead For that reason alone I would have seen throwing Eisa on for 30 mins as a free hit (No great expectancy - He’s still , understandably very raw) Give him some game time for development if nothing else and if he poached one and got us back in it a great bonus As for Elliasson I thought it was a perfect opportunity to throw him on and say ‘Nothing to lose , no pressure , get out there, get on the ball and beat your man and have shots and get crosses in’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that when he’s fully fit he’s a useful addition. Quick with good feet and with a goal in him, Nah there's nothing nearly 270 minutes (not including the Plymouth match) of watching him play this season tells us. Nothing at all.. People judged Diony even though i'm somewhat sure he played the similar amount of minutes for us as CoD has this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballwinningcentrehalf Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I’ve always had a niggle in the back of my mind about O’Dowda - I know there were a number of staff at his former club that were absolutely delighted to get the money they did from us. Many there doubted he had the potential to hit the level that City seemed to believe he could. Hopefully it is injury related (be it mental or physical), and our faith in his development turns out to be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness I wouldn't say CoD being on the pitch is anywhere near as pointless as Diony being on the pitch. During Diony's substitute appearances I'm not sure he would have contributed less if he simply threw his boots onto the pitch and remained sat in the dugout.

I agree but people judged Diony for the amount of minutes he played for us but not CoD for roughly the same amount of time this season. Tbf though CoD has come back from injury but still had a full pre season in him I believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Or is this down to LJ again, telling players how to play the game and not using their own natural ability, Or playing players out of position. Judging by results i would say LJ has pissed players off and they are only given 90% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agard Days Night Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 1 hour ago, BobBobSuperBob said: Obvious Goalscorers from the bench ? None. Eisa would be the most likely but not tested at all this level. If he’s not ready to bring on when trailing at home but with our tails up then why was he the only out and out striker reinforcement we bought in this summer? Weimann is classy and works hard but needs a target man up with him. Far too much riding on the second coming of Fam IMHO. Summer business starting to show the cracks already unfortunately.

Jack Bailey Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 COD is an interesting one. He's marmite and I love marmite. Personally I believe he will be the real stand-out this season (I wish he would hurry up though!). His injury was very serious and it will take him a while longer to regain his form and confidence. I also think there is something Martin O'Neill is doing to get more out of him. I streamed the ROI Vs USA game and Callum was exceptional. He had a free reign all across the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 5 hours ago, BobBobSuperBob said: Not sure our style of play gets the best from him M, or fully utilises his assets Ive seen him as a player at his best whose a runner (More than just a runner) , (Darren Anderson ish) ,pacy , comfortable on ball, and a runner with and without the ball who would thrive in a counterattacking fast / mobile side I think our play is too slow normally to utilise his strengths Hes can beat players but not a player to give to in a tight more congested area and expect miracles Does our style of play get the best out of anyone?

Bar BS3 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 5 hours ago, cidercity1987 said: I thought he was seriously growing into his role before he got injured (at Sunderland, I believe?) and was one of our best players up to that point. I've been disappointed with his contribution since return from injury though. He was frustratingly ineffective until that Sunderland game. Then things clicked and he looked a different player, for a short time until his injury away at Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen his goal/assist stats? That'll probably be why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll probably be why what 25 goals in the last season he was actually shown some faith in by his manager, and yes I do know it was in league 2 (yawn)! think maybe I'm talking about a different player (sorry) thought we were discussing Eisa.
