In France a player can get easy free kicks for going down but here officials see his big frame and assume he's faking the foul. Hopefully the penny's dropped.

It’s actually 18 goals in 48 league appearances for Fammy ...but not sure what your point is? I wasn’t talking about his scoring record....and as you seemed to want to bring Bobby Reid into this...I think Bobby offered our team so much more than just goals....his boundless energy, his link up play, his non stop movement - everything Fammy doesn’t offer really, but you decided to compare him to Bobby..... Not sure why you are getting so touchy..? I compared his goal return to Bobby because he was out top scorer and £10million sale last season. I agree that Boody had a far better all round game and we miss his energy. I had hoped Wiemann had adequately replaced this, after his outstanding start for us, but obviously he’s not maintained those levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it wasn’t (understandably) a response to spitgate Major In addition , Maybe just me , but pointing at his head and ears also looked a response to criticism I think the point you raise about French football May well be relevant , he goes down so easily and regularly sits on his azz looking bemused when referees wave play on , astounded he’s not been given a feee kick Thats understandable initially, but he’s been here long enough now to realise that he won’t get the same response from referees here if he goes over / down easily He could , and should be, a real handful in addition to goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm all for players giving a bit back occasionally, though the kind of people who do things like cheer when he is substituted would probably disagree.

Agree The next few games will be interesting , I have a hunch that he may have taken it a lot deeper but let’s hope he responds in a positive way and continues with what sounds like, some more aggression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I was surprised that he appeared to hold off Dean with relative ease for his goal and plant a simple header away But am I right in thinking both had been booked earlier in the game for a spat ? Come our corner , in pen box , Dean already on a 6ellow and ref almost certainly with his eye on them .... Dean was a bit hamstrung really in terms of being able to use physicality....... shame........ The bookings and then the goal all linked in reality , slow burner biteback for Dean and Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedorDead BCFC Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 What always confuses me about Fammy is when he’s defending a corner for us, no one knocks him down or barges him off the ball. Now when attacking he seems to drop to his arse at the faintest touch. So maybe Major, has a valid point about the French leagues, but equally so it don’t take a Einstein to work out it don’t happen in this league. If he’s not worked it out yet, hopefully watching Adams yesterday the penny might drop. This season to me, he’s on fire coming off the bench then lazy the next game when starting. Hopefully starting yesterday wasn’t just a revenge game against Brum but a recharged Fammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I had high hopes for Weimann too, he’s always looked an energetic player with a lot to offer, especially at Villa...and with his premier league experience I thought we’d got a good one...still early days though and I think he’s feeling under a bit of pressure to deliver goals on a regular basis as we lost Bobby and Fammy is hardly prolific...Weimann linked up really well with Pack in the early season games, which led to goals, that seems to have dwindled a bit....

AppyDAZE Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Was that an angry celebration we saw yesterday btw? If so, who or what do you think it was about mostly? I'm thinking partly it being against Birmingham (for obvious reasons) and partly the criticism he's been getting. Whatever the reason, great to see the passion. Well done, Famara I genuinely think he's a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t making any gestures of any sort, other than pure celebratory ones. I’m sure he’s been feeling pressure and knows that apart from Ipswich, he’s not been doing to well recently, so I think he probably enjoyed this one a lot. Plus Vs Birmingham.

Yeah it's all relative you nause!, Johnson made a ten million pound player, that before he came was worth ten thousand pound .. Johnson is well repected by alot of coaches/ managers in this league. Maybe you and Bob are behind the times and not in touch with the current game!!??? If city are patient with Johnson we will go to the top!! But unfortunately city fans are not patient, just hungry for instant success!! What a delightful chap you are, NOT! Name calling on an adult forum? Well done, you're the first person I have ever put on ignore. I was actually trying to save you from further embarrassment. The rest of your post is total guess work. You don't know he's 'respected by a lot of coaches' at all, just read it somewhere I should think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great result today, regained some confidence. Well done the team. Agreed. Think in the right shape (we're getting there but not yet) O'Dowda and Eliasson right and left pushed high in a 4-3-3/4-3-2-1 could really help. Needs to take the attitude of the last 2 away games in, against Millwall however I thought he was pretty lazy- 2nd half especially one moment where he charged down their fullback aside.

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 21 hours ago, Cowshed said: Forward play has become multi faceted. Being determined, focussed and prepared to work for the team are traits of modern great forwards. These are qualities the player in question frequently lacks and without them and with obvious technical limitations the teams potential tactically is limited. Unless there is a significant improvement in his mind set .. Move him on at the end of the season. I'm unsure what to make of him really. Sometimes you get real standout moments- think his brilliantly angled header v QPR, his excellent one v Hull, took his goals v Blackburn and WBA nicely. Also remember (a random example I know) an excellent cross field ball v Sheffield Wednesday early on aand charging down a Millwall defender to win a throw in 2nd half on Sunday. Then again his general lack of application and effort in the 2nd half- either lacks stamina in a big way or he didn't fancy the physical battle. There were some potential back passes though in that 2nd half which though unlikely, he should have put himself into more- that's just one aspect of his display I was disappointed with in that game.

If we really want to "develop" another striker, we should play one from three alongside Diedhiou. The three are Eisa, Semenyo and Janneh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
