Sniper Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I understand he was bitterly disappointed to not play Saturday. I wonder how he's going to react when he next gets a start.

cidered abroad Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 No it's not unthinkable to play them together. I would not he surprised to see Diedhiou starting tomorrow night because of his good defending of corners and also that Adobe looked really tired at end of QPR game.

The Fat Controller Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I'd be bitterly disappointed too. He's been brought in for a decent sum and in that time scored 26 times in 64 starts (11 appearances from the bench) in the league. Almost all of those games he has been asked to play a role he is unsuited to, the lone forward. I think it is assumed that because of his size he should be suited to the role, but he's not. Still, he works his bollocks off for the team and has a reasonable return on the goal front. Playing as part of a 2, I'd wager he'd have scored a few more. LJ changes the formation to go 2 up front and drops him. Must be a bit of a kick in the teeth. For what it's worth I think he still has a role to play here and I'd like to see him and Afobe up front together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s something that on paper would be a defenders nightmare & I would imagine that it will be something that is used should we be a goal down with half hour or so to go. For it to happen from the start of a game, who would you drop? The obvious person is Weimann but can I see him being dropped? No because his work rate is exactly what LJ is after from all his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Fam is a big character. Anyone who saw him walk around the pitch at FT will have noticed that this is a guy who isn't going to act the knob. I'm sure he will fight on to play football. Good luck, FD. A real decent bloke too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently he’s been missing waaaay more chances than before (and he’d missed many) and has looked desperately out of form. Until Afobe arrived he had no serious competition for his place and now he has he can either get the hump and sulk or work hard in training to show LJ that he deserves a recall.

Wait; 28 from 83 appearances is a bad ratio now? That’s basically a goal every three games, and he didn’t start all them - pretty sure if that ratio is much better the lad would have moved for serious cash by now.

Perhaps I didn’t explain myself properly - Fammy misses more than he scores and if he had a sharper goal scoring instinct he’d have a far better goals per game ratio. Personally I think his confidence is shot just now. Blazing his penalty over bar at Loftus Rd certainly didn’t help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INB Red Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Should start with Afobe. Seems obvious to me, maybe I’m missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he sees it as a helping hand to his career, with Afobe to share the load he should have more energy and possibility to score more goals. I am right behind FD he’s a top lad and a decent player at this level. I’m convinced we haven’t seen the best of him yet but am hoping he will really take off .

robin_unreliant Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I wouldn't go with Fam & Afobe at Derby. We are likely to be under pressure and looking to break with pace. Not the ideal scenario to bring FD back imo. I would like to see them play together at AG though. I'm sure it will happen if we are behind in the last 30 minutes - or struggling to break down a stubborn defence at 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Fammy was dropped at Birmingham, so I'm not sure it would have been such a surprise on Saturday. And he came on and played in a front 2 alongside Afobe during the second half. They're certainly a handful together. Arguably allows the likes of Rowe to drift into space for his goal, but in all honesty tha was down to Palmers super pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 40 minutes ago, Robbored said: Wright isn't a striker........He took the penalty because he was captain. Ok, point taken. So how has Fammys confidence been shot when he manged to get the ball in the net from a very tight angle, and I bet if Afobe would have scored from the same place there would have been a thread started about saying how good it was? Surely he wouldn't have scored that would he with his confidence shot? How did he play for the rest of the game? Or are you just basing his loss of confidence on a penalty miss?
