When Afobe and Palmer went off for Fammy and COD we looked so much worse. We stopped hanging onto the ball and stopped causing Derby problems. Could have done some attacking and scored again in the second half, as Derby were poor, but we let them back into it. Would rather have seem Semenyo come on than Fammy.

BCFC Rich Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Criticism of COD and Fam seems off to me. We started protecting the lead early on and asking Derby to break us down early on (which, bar an impressive strike, they couldn't). At that point Afobe offered little as we resorted to longer balls again. He definitely offered a threat on the break to get in behind but very little defensively. Fam comes on to the same service, he doesn't offer the run in behind but he tracks back and defends well (at least three interceptions around the edge of our box). Same with COD v Palmer - Palmer offers the killer ball but doesn't track/sit in to defend (although tjis side of his game has massively improved). Both COD and Fam came on and made better defensively and helped us see out the game. Would I start them over Afobe and Palmer? No I feel they are the better players but they both did their job and helped us get the three points. This obsession of bashing our own players is baffling and disappointing.

Shtanley Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Felt sorry for Famara. Afobe always had Palmer or Weimann right next to him to lay the ball off and interlink. When Fam came on there was often nobody within 15 yards of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't excuse the general lack of effort shown, his limited ability is generally known and to some extent accepted however when you see Weimann still running his bol!ocks off despite having already played 70+mins compared to Diedhiou barely moving for a 20 minute cameo it was infuriating to watch.

ChubStixx Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 What's great about having Afobe, Palmer and Weimann in the same team is that they all share a quick footballing brain, meaning that they anticipate runs and bring out the best in each other. We've got a couple of weak positions, but we've got some very tidy players indeed this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but it's comments like this that are just ridiculous. Wieman runs more than any other player for a start. But if you are genuinely trying to say Fammy didn't run and work hard after coming on you either have it in for him and are blind to anything positive he could do or didn't watch the game and are acting like you did.

He did however stop attempting to win the ball in the air after being man handled for about the 4th time in a row and the ref doing nothing, this was giving Derby players a free header rather than a contested one. Counted it 2 or 3 times later in the game ball in the air right by Diedhiou yet no attempt to contest it, didn't appear to be tactics to win the 2nd ball either.

Absolutely the correct terminology but odd phrase to use. He could have but again and in truth, did nothing. His combativeness is woeful, man on man he's as impotent as they come (or rather don't.) He fell over twice, nudged by somebody much slighter and feigning he'd laughably been wronged. Contrast the guile of Weimann who in throwing himself to the turf cheated but was savvy enough to get his opponent cautioned. That the bloke from Knowle thought he was wronged when he nigh-on caught the ball...seriously..... Not fit to lace Afobe's boots who did ensure their defence knew they'd been tasked in battle, closed down with impact and created openings. Diggeridoo could be an option for the last half hour but not on tonight's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A laughable assessment were it not so harsh. Weimann runs around a lot but I remember our fans slating him last season when the end product dried up. Both Weimann and Fam have flaws at this level, of course they do. But to accuse Fam of a lack of effort is really poor in my view, not true at all...He's just a different type of player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
