jeade Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'm sorry but just do not see how Agard can possibly be in the team in front of JET. People say JET when he's bad is very bad but when on form he's unplayable whilst to date I've seen nothing but mediocre from Agard. I believe we desperately need a pacy striker in on loan to help us over the line but let common sense prevail until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyreds89 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I agree I thibk Agard is a dud.... Really not a fan but whilst he's playing will always support. Wilbrahams and JET for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Marsh Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Don't think I've seen anyone in the red with a first touch like Agard's tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did actually and yes he was poor as were all 11 in the first half. I'm not JETs biggest fan but he's a far better player than Agard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 People are blind if they don't see how good Agard is. It isn't all about assists or goals. Kieran's hold up play, attitude & work rate are absolutely out of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts_city Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 what hold up play is that then ? easily muscled off the ball, poor first touch, wins nothing in the air, no real pace, how he is in front of jet i dont know tbh. its like playing with 10.5 men.

tts_city Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 not at all, but it doesnt mean anyone is above ciriticism, i just dont see what he brings to the team, he must have storners everytime i dont watch and i have been about 10ish times this season and i have yet to see what everyone raves about.

UK0wnag3 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I thought Agard was very good today. His work-rate is fantastic and for a little guy he really knows how to use his body and shield the ball. Yeah, he's got the first touch of a yeti, but you can't have everything...

SODS_LAW Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Then presumably you did not see JET play at Colchester. What about his outstanding performances over the last 2 months? Unreal the stick he gets, when on form he's head and shoulders above any player In this league. Agard couldn't even dream about controlling a ball like JET, hes like bambi doesn't look at all like a footballer. Works his ass off and has scored some important goals this season tho.

cityexile Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The worry for me is not JET or Agard, we are going to need both of them, more that with Wilbs we now only have the three. The world is hardly full of great strikers just looking for a loan if any get injured, suspended, whatever. Cotts has managed it well so far, and hopefully the ice holds out a little longer!

Lack of Action Man Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Virtually everyone sat around me was in agreement with OP. Don't get why JET is dropped for Agard. Whilst he does run around a great deal, his first touch is vanarama standard and he doesn't strike me as a player who can maintain composure.

Frenchay Red Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 They're not even on the same planet in terms of technical ability, but by running around a lot Agard occupies their defence more in forward positions. JET tends to play just a bit deeper and doesn't fight for the ball as much IMO. I wonder whether Burns would be a good like for like alternative to Agard if he got injured. Quite pacey and strong.

1960maaan Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I agree ....... with everyone I'm not Agards biggest fan , but I would say he's in in front of JET because of his work rate and closing down. There were times Rochdale really struggled to get the ball out because of the constant harrying. I would have had JET on , for either forward , to hold the ball up and do what he does. Just looked as though we could do with someone holding it and just slowing the game down, exactly what JET does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 It's a pity though that calls for Jet's inclusion have to include criticism for a very willing workhorse in Agard, but unfortunately it's inevitable as Cotts. is favouring Agard directly. Like Pete Hinton says above Agard's attitude and work rate are beyond reproach, but there's more to an effective striker than that and I can't agree on the merits of his hold up play. I'd favour playing Jet from the start and having Agard as back up, and he can be brought on after an hour if Jet is having one of his rare inconspicuous games. Some of the team are clearly running near empty at the moment and Jet, on form, can make life alot easier for them, as epitomised with the fantastic goal against Port Vale which turned an initial half hour of struggle into a comfortable victory. Is Agard a genuine game changer like Jet? We have to trust Cotts' judgement but it's very reasonable to hope that Jet's omission is just another example of squad rotation, and, fully rested, he will be back again starting shortly.

Nail on head Noggers. That pretty much sums up my thoughts to be honest. I like Agard but JET every time for me. I personally think it's just squad rotation from SC.

HoldenBall Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Isn't it obvious why Agards in the team instead of JET? Closing down defenders, working down the channels. He might not score or have the best touch in the world but Agard is massively important to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I wasn't there today but I'll repeat today what I said about Agard on Tuesday; I'm not convinced he has sufficient technical ability to justify his place in a table topping side, but he has a positive role in the side. He runs channels, harries defenders and gets though loads of work but he couldn't trap a bag of sand. An enigma perhaps, but one who plays an important role in certain circumstances. We need another striker on board though with Smith going and one raft carries more of a goal threat than Agard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not score or have the best touch in the world but Agard is massively important to this team. He does work his bollocks off for the side but what is obvious is that both are very important to us. SC has rotated a very small squad well throughout the season. They both have a huge role to play but strikers are there to score goals at the end of the day. You can run round all you like but you still need to look after the ball and take chances in tight games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I prefer JET but Agard, whilst having a terrible first touch, works very hard and at this level it causes defenders to make mistakes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
