Dredd Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Can see now why Derby were playing him wide. Just doesn’t look like scoring. Without looking it up I cannot remember the last time he scored. For someone who was supposed to be Reid’s replacement it’s been a waste of money. Turning into another poor signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Awful. The amount of play that went down our left. The players know what Eliasson offers, but what does Weimann offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Going to don my tin hat on this one I think we make Weimann look poor and for the money we paid he’s a decent enough signing One of the few with a footballing brain and you can see the extra quality in a lot of his touches (IMHO) I watched the Ipswich game in detail twice at end of week and he worked his nuts off and if everyone had done their job as well as he did his we’d be much better Doesnt help .....playing with Taylor, .....playing on his own, ....playing with Famara....., playing as a 10 , .....playing as the frontman;, .....l.lplaying wide right.......

Boston Red Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 When Weimann scored 5 in 5, City fans went on the Derby web board and said "We've turned him into a striker, it's working, maybe we have got the best of him, maybe you should not have sold him etc etc" The Derby fans said "Sorry, not interested, we've moved on, don't care, don't miss him, don't think we have been fleeced, happy with our 2 million, best of luck to you, on we go." I was quite surprised at their attitude at the time, but it looks like they were absolutely spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 He’s certainly busy and he does work hard, but the stats throughout his career show he is not a goal scorer. The start of the season was a false dawn. I’d play Fammy and Taylor over Weimann for sure, they offer goal threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 He is played out of position and he knows it, shows it in his obvious frustration, there is a reason he started the season so well but LJ can’t accomodate his favourites if he gives him free reign through the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When the river runs Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 If all Weimann offers is running, then can we try and sign Mo Farrah in january.... I know he loves football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 We need 2 upfront. Bin off Paterson and give Diedihou someone to work with.

And he can’t solve it. Two buzzing midfielders (one of them Korey) helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Average signings put in average performances and this is what we are getting with Weimann. Unfortunately you get what you pay for.. as ‘Ron Swanson’ says Marriot was the man but we decided to shop in aldi whilst others went up the road to waitrose!

Dottie Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Worked his socks off today. Got in great positions only to see the ball booted up to Diedhiou who had 2 huge defenders on him all afternoon. He’s got a great footballing brain & reads the game so well, unfortunately most of the team aren’t on his wavelength. It’s no coincidence that he was scoring regularly when we were playing the high tempo game with the ball on the ground at the start of the season. He’s looking more frustrated every game.

I think he looks a bit fed up and jacked off, and I can’t blame him Yep. Made quite a few good runs in front of me in the Dolman first half. It was like they were ignoring him at times. Reality is we don’t have anyone that can spot his corver runs and if they can they don’t have the ability to make it. I felt bad for him today but only thing people will remember is the scuffed shot near the end. Briallant signing but we don’t have enough footballers around him. Our best footballers are defenders and as you get further forward the footballing ability gets lesser and lesser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Ah yes....the road runner.... just because someone works hard does not mean they have a footballing brain. He’s a great pro no question, work rate is phenomenal but sadly that’s all he offers. As some have stated not helped by the constant tinkering with the side but I’m interested to know what people see in him that suggests he has a ‘footballing brain’!? I really do admire the blokes work rate and commitment but that’s not always enough when you need to score or create chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he looks a bit fed up and jacked off, and I can’t blame him I ran out of likes so I am forced to comment. Weimann is a very good player. But we are a poor side. We created a few chances for him early in the season, now we are so utterly dross we cant find a shot on target. Forwards thrive on service and Weimann gets none. So now we are playing him out wide, in the exact same way as Derby, which is not where he needs to be. If we were better Weimann would get chances, but we tip tap around going nowhere with no pace, hoping that Eliasson or Kelly can do something to find a chance....Its hopeful football and Weimann is now fed up and I don't blame him.

Summed it up,well there His footballing brain is seconds ahead of anyone else in a red shirt I look at him and think imagine integrating him into a good side We seem to think he’s going to do it for us on his own - he’s not a worldly match winner , he’s a week in , week out 7/8 / 10 IMHO and a good and flexible component for a good side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Pack had found his life partner. Pack was playing passes that Weimann anticipated and vice versa. Now pack can not find a pass and neither can anyone else except to tip tap around in a paceless self defeating way as we inevitably lose the ball and get pushed back like today. On that note LJ's comment identifying Kelly for not winning a three on one for their goal was fncking laughable nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturny Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Derby fans called it. He’ll start well but his finishing will let him down eventually. People will make excuses for him until they’re fed up too and he gets moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 He was a really decent player when we first signed him. His form now is indicative of a man who’s been coached by LJ too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Reminds me of the time we signed Jon Stead..he was far better than his team mates and they made him look bad.

We need to be playing at higher tempo for any of that to make a difference and the fact he has found a little today while his main target has been pushed wide highlights what has happened since August a loss of form for Pack and a loss of way for LJ (not sure which one is the chicken and which one is the egg). I hoped like you that Ipswich may be a catalyst, however obviously not...Deep Sigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
