Shtanley Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 HT and he's got a goal and an assist. Anyone watching? If so then how sharp is he looking? Hopefully all the games he's played in should be getting him close to full fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Has Wilbs been that poor? I have only watched the home games and don't think he has been that bad, Not easy mind playing alongside Kodjia as nobody knows what he is going to do. Hopefully having Luke back will help the strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully having Luke back will help the strikers.I don't think he has looked bad as a player as such. But against Brentford (when he pretty much dropped into midfield) and away at Boro he looked like he was blowing out his arse after about 50-60 minutes.To be honest I can see both sides of the argument. Wilbs gives us an experienced target man and that shouldn't be over looked when we are struggling. But I think the unpredictable nature of an Agard/Codger partnership excites fans more.

Buckeyed Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Needs to start with Codger, Wilbs has been poor this season.I think its harsh to say he has been poor.. He normally plays much further up the pitch that he has had to due to Freeman being missing.The first half of the Brentford game he looked as good as ever and got a typical Wilbraham goal.

He looks knackered too easily in our games this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopeful that with Freeman back he will return to last years form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789000 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I just don't like that having him up top as it encourages us to go long from the back. Yes they are long passes aimed at him as opposed to 'long ball football', but more often than not we lose the ball from punting it at Wilbs than win it, control it and play. Why do we not play out from the back?? I know he's got one already, but in every home game I've seen him in he just doesn't look like scoring. There was an opportunity against Burnley I can remember in the second half, where it opened up for him on the edge of the box, perfect opportunity to hit one and he did nothing and got tackled. I know that scoring goals isn't entirely his game, and I loved what he did for us last season and will never forget it, but I honestly believe he's a waste of a player on the pitch. Sounds harsh but there is no room for sentiment in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, that is what a captain should do, rather than try to do it all by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that we always look for a scapegoat when things go wrong.. last season it was Agard, this season Wilbs.I guess we will be able to tell more in the next few games now that the squad will be settled.

Pace, intelligence and with Freeman somewhere around there I see goals.So effectively going 3511 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JET was unlucky not to play more last season, but the work that Agard puts in is important in my opinion and JET and Freeman tended to take up similar positions. If Agard starts with Kodjia, he can drop right, Freeman can push up left and it gives us the option of going 343 mid-game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
