The Coach Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I was at the game. One of his best performances today. QPR couldn’t handle him, and almost scored an even better goal than his first in the second half. MoM today by far. I hope he keeps up this level he is currently at. Not many opposition teams will be able to touch him if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 He is my unsung here of our time back in the championship, hope he gets a run with wells that partnership excites me and it’s time for Weimann to drop out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Great to see him upping his game...not so much in goals, but defensive work. It makes a massive difference. He may not add to the fluidity of our football, but we are certainly grinding out results because everyone...not just 10 are putting in huge amounts of effort. Combine that with some bits of skill and it goes a long way. 5 wins...5 clean sheets...an excellent contribution. Glad he's seen the light.

Flagon Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I think his fitness levels have hit another level lately and he definitely looks leaner compared to when we first got him. It's so great to see the team battling from all over the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Excellent again today. One blot on his copybook (unless I imagined this or didn't quite see it the way I thought I did) was not putting the unmarked Nahki in for an almost certain debut goal against his old club.

I really couldnt see where his value was coming from, made mistake after mistake and missed some sitters in front of goal The last 6 or so matches the man has been an inspiration and looks strong, skilful and an excellent striker. And apart from his attacking skills how good was he in defence today and against Reading on Tuesday? Excellent performance, probably just sneaking M.O.M over Nathan Baker who has been superb recently as well. Really hope we can find some good home form now to try for the play off spot of whows, perhaps automatic if we keep up this form. Famara woo woo woo woo Famara woo woo woo woo He comes from Senagal And now he lives in Knowle. I was exactly the same with him and still think he can make better runs. He was superb today though and has been much better for a while. Battling for every ball, never knowing when he’s beaten. Brilliant finish for the goal. If Harry Kane did that they’d never stop showing it. What a defensive header at the end as well. Baker was excellent but Fam was MOM easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has certainly taken him a while to show us what he’s capable of.

Fordy62 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Genuinely excellent today. He’s had a fair few stormers recently. The two headers summed up his day... the winning goal and the winning clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 What is really positive is with the addition of Wells and Fam’s form, we can actually field two out-and-out strikers with different attributes who cause defences different problems. One of the things that has at times been a bit of a pain is when we have one recognised front man, and several ‘false nines’/attacking midfielders who are similar, so have no different dynamic to put in and shake things up. Sometimes the ‘clubs in the bag’ have all looked a little similar up top, while now we have genuinely varied options, depending what a defence shows.

RedM Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I didnt see this thread before i posted the comment below in the QPR thread. Seems I'm not alone. 35 minutes ago, Robbored said: The pace was on the ball and Dave directed it towards goal - that was the impressive bit of skill. I'm feeling a bit out of touch here, but why do people keep calling him Dave? i must admit its beginning to annoy me now. He has a fantastic name in Famara, quite unique (well I don't know another), so why cheapen it with a childish joke? This isn't a dig at you but after seeing it written so many times i thought I would ask the next person who posted it. So @Robbored can you please enlighten me?
