Lrrr Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Am I the only one worried that this will make Famara undroppable or unsubbable to try and justify keeping him here without a new contract signed to try and get any sort of value from him? For me the last 3 games he's been exceptionally poor and in other circumstances you'd hope dropped if not at least subbed off if he's started. Dean's yet again not used the full allocation of subs when losing, where is the harm in giving Bell or Pearson 5-10 minutes when you're two goals down and barely had a shot on goal?

How about changing formation, bringing Wells/Semenyo central and putting on Bakinson? The point remains about Diedhiou even if you take out the part about the youngsters. I fear the only times he'll be off the pitch is when he physically needs a rest and it won't be because of performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good idea but unfortunately for a team that is bereft of goals diedhiou is far more of a goal threat than semenyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Other than a couple clearances, you’d be forgiven for not noticing that Diedhiou played today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinny Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's just a face saving mechanism. He won't sign a deal, we need him because the other strikers are worse than him so we're trying to spin it as a positive. We held onto the player! We're getting value! We didn't sell him cheap! Dude refused to go anywhere. Club PR BS BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 He’s done pretty well this season living on scraps (and at home under LJ). We don’t create many chances so can’t really be surprised he hasn’t scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a striker to actually score a goal you need to play the ball to him, not have him defend or lump the ball 70 yards to him while being marked by two massive centre backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 We bought Wells for a large fee and wages on a long contract, based on his half a season performances as the central striker in a 3 up front. Why not try that ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go 442 at least tighten things up in midfield. Might tighten it up to some extent- but then you put Pack on and it's 3 v 2, or even Ojo can be the spare man and when chasing a game it can just open you up further- counterattacking 4-4-2 can be tight and compact, yeah.
