Nathandao Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 He gets slated on here but I’m going to be honest. If he plays, we win tonight. Watkins did alright but the holdup play and extra big man in the box defending corners would have been the difference. When he doesn’t play, we miss him. When he comes back from suspension, we need to stop making him the scapegoat for all our problems because as we’ve seen tonight and against Wigan, he is clearly not the problem.

I get your point, but not being able to play tonight was entirely his own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Sadly a lot of fans have no idea what they are talking about with Fammy. He is a good solid striker at this level (and yes I know he isn’t as good as Afobe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 A target man/strong forward who can out muscle defenders and hold the ball up well is definately what we're missing. Whether Fam is the answer I dont know, but when we have nothing else up front (which highlights the issue) and he's all we have in the squad that fits some of what we need then we do miss him, yes. But he's still frustrating to watch. Bring on January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - his defensive work is overlooked. He seems to get more than his fair share of headers back there and gives us additional height and physicality.

Rossi the Robin Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 He would have got a hatrick of headers tonight, game was suited for him Nobodys fault but his own for being banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderheadTJ Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Not a massive Fam fan as his touch is absolute garbage and plays with his back to goal, however he’s not the problem. Defensively he puts in a shift and at this current moment we have no one better up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 It never looks pretty when Fam plays, but he constantly gets us up the pitch as defenders have to try to grapple with him to win the ball. We could still be playing now and Weimann and Watkins would not have won a header. His defensive contribution is also very underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 If we play him then he needs to play on his own with Weimann and Eliasson wide. This forum has invented a myth that Diedhiou is much better with a partner. Him and Weimman is awful. Can't see who else partners him any better so let's not bother. If we play Fam then let's go back to the 4141 that got us 15 games unbeaten last season. It may work better with 3 much better midfielders than what we had last season. Nagy, Brownhill and Massengo much better than Pack, Pato and Brownhill. Maybe Fam gets more support from our 3 more mobile midfielders we have now.

Agree 4141 plus JJT had a good point his height and solid build is always good in the box when opposing teams take corners. He was missed last night.

Interesting but I’d rather have Afobe based on what I’ve seen. Harsh to judge Afobe in that joke Stoke team last year. With Afobe and Fammy as backup I was really happy with the options but without either it’s a shambles up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before last night, we’d scored the third most in the top six but conceded the second most in the top half. Unless Fammy is getting drafted in at centre-back we’ve got bigger issues than any forward player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
