SUPER REDS Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I thought Adebola looked great when he came on and I reckon him and Maynard could be a great striking force,if we can now keep a settled team with no injuries etc hopefully we can get a few results now and push on towards the Play Offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wheres your caravan?? Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 This partnership was tried for several games earlier in the season, and it was awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced this is because adebola does not have it in him for 90 minutes week in week out. This season we've seen the best of Adebola when he has either had a rest or comes on as sub. Brilliant impact player I'd say - Not got the legs for 90 minutes though. Not week in week out anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Possibly might not have the legs for 90 mins,but in the 4-3-3 formation,he would start for me.He is the best at what you need in that central position of the three.Also,with the two other forwards around him,it spreads the workload out a bit(although I don't see this as a problem for him,as he always works hard anyway).With pace around him,he would obviously benefit and so would they from him. Cant see that any defence would look forward to playing against the big fella either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Styvar for me, I think he looks like a good player at Championship level. Last night was nowhere near his ideal conditions and he admittedly struggled - but they were perfect for the likes of big Dele! Unless we have weather like that, I would like to see Styvar and Maynard continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanC Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 but was in the air then now weve found out dele likes it along the floor it could workIt worked well yesterday because they had no option but to play it on the floor because of eh weather, Usually when Dele plays its route one football.

Lack of Action Man Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Adebola is our super sub atm - that's where he's looking most effective, coming off the bench and changing the game putting tiring defences under extreme physical pressure plus he seems more pacy because he's so much sharper and fitter than a tired defence will be. Use him as a super sub and long may the good form continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think the 433 then revert to 442 works well for us, especially with our personnel, we have the right players to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1975Legend Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Got to say that this partnership is starting to blossom. the has been superb last two games and that should put a few of those people that like to have a go at him back in their corner. Keep up the good work lads were doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 In the 2nd half both of them played well and Adebola was the bully we need him to be. But first half they didn't get much service and nothing much happened. Jury is still out on the combination and I still think Adebola is good as a sub coming on after an hour, when Stern has played for the first hour bringing Sproule into play more etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonyate Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think I would use Adeobla as a second half sub bring him on the start of the second half.He is the only player who can push around the other teams defence we have. Without Dele we are toothless, its aright having twinkle toes players but you need to have a bit of muscle as well up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Stand Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 It seems at though Maynard can play pretty well with either John or Adebola. Neither of them are spring chickens & Dele does seem to struggle when we have patches of games on Sat/Tues/Sat - as we have coming up. The key thing is keeping him & Stern fresh, I'd be quite happy to see them rotated so that they take turns starting/being on the bench. Not sure if that will happen though as GJ is a big fan of not changing a winning side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartolona Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thought Dele played like a man possessed last night, i would start the big man every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 It was funny when Maynard got taken off because Adebola thought it was going to be him and started walking from the penalty area and then realised it wasn't. He has been immense recently but I think even he'd tell you he finds it a struggle to play 90 anymore especially on a surface like that that bogs you down when running.
