Dastardly and Muttley Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Nice to see Kodjia in joint second place in the top scorers list. One goal behind Charlie Austin and one in front of good players like, erm, Clayton Donaldson.Also nice to see him rile up the Birmingham fans a bit. Means he must be doing something right! I'd love to see him alongside Agard on Tuesday. Their movement could work brilliantly together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Great start for him.Can't emphasise enough how difficult it must be for him to play alongside 10 team mates who all speak a language that you don't and what is clear already is that his assets (pace, skill) mean he will always get plenty of chances to score. He won't take them all but as with Akinibiyi back in '98 we need to be looking at conceding less rather than expecting him to get 30.He has already achieved more than several other foreign centre forwards we've tried and at 25 should still continue to improve.

simon uk Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I do have an issue with poor players coming in from abroad and taking the place of young talent trying to find their place in the game, it has happened a lot in Scotland, and the premier league, and also with us with styvar and saborio in recent years, but with Kodjia, he looks more and more like the real deal. Delighted for him, it must give him some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hopefully he'll be with us for a couple of years, score at least fifty goals, and either push us up to the next level or secure a big money move to the Prem.All speculation at the moment, but he's showing a lot of talent / promise already.

Shtanley Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He's got 4 in 6 in a period with a new team in a new country not speaking this new language or really fully grasping the new playing style, he's missed a fair amount of chances and he's still got 4 in 6. I can't wait for this guy when he's fully ready. He'll get more than Gray this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Glad to see him scoring away from home. Was getting worried he might only score at Ashton Gate, some strikers tend to be better at the home grounds but he's doing just fine. If he can get up to 18 goals this season in the league then we're looking at 8m plus for him next summer. Especially if this summers transfers are anything to go by!

Carey 6 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Good player. Only complaint would be he goes down way too easily looking for a foul. He'll learn though. Also, had a little chuckle to myself thinking about the referees giving him a telling off, doubt they realise he doesn't have a clue what they're on about.

foghornred Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Reminds me of Andy Cole when he joint us as we used to say that he needed 4 chances to score a goal but he got them chances and scored a goal when he could have had a hat trick (Wander if he still has that ball from his first hat trick v Cardiff ?) Anyway lets hope that he becomes as good as Andy Cole. as his ratio came down as he got better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Bags of potential and you can visibly see his desire to do well. Takes his goals well and has good pace.

samo II Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Take a bit of the sting out of our seeming inability to attract a forward in the window; seems we had a decent goal scorer all along.Key part for me is that he not only seems to score 'good' goals (that volley yesterday was very good) but also gets in and looks to poach chances too. He mobile for a big lad, and used that well.I add my voice to the calls for him to partner with Agard, even if for a short while toward the end of games; Wilbraham is still a hard working and useful option, but just feel the mobility of Agard might help take the game to opponents in a way we can't with Wilbraham.

TNBT Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 If he keeps on scoring like he is and we're struggling can see the teams fighting for promotion trying to get him, not that I think we'd let him leave for a quick 100% profit and definitely hope we won't after the scouting we did to get a player of his quality as there's a lot more to come from this one imo.Also would love to see him alongside Agard as others have mentioned as reckon we'll get even more goals if not from him from the others around him.

Cider red Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Said since the Brentford game the bloke is class, just watched the highlights of Saturday and he busts a gut to get back for a Birmingham breakaway. The lad has it all and if he carries on he may get a move to the prem next summer. As others have said him and Agard upfront would be worth trying, with Wilbs not looking up to much at this level im afraid to say, Preston are short of pace at the back and would struggle with that pairing imo.

Garland-sweden Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 He was the best player in his leauge in France last season. Nice he started so good in City. He will probably score 16- 24 goals this season I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted September 15, 2015 Admin Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think his work rate is increasing the longer he spends with us as well. I don't think he was lazy in the first couple of games but he definitely gets involved around the pitch more in the more recent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm loving his enthusiasm and rawness, at times it's like having Albert back again in a way. Totally unpredictable but it gets bums off seats when he has the ball. I didn't think he was lazy, perhaps the opposite that at times he seemed to be chasing totally lost causes. This wasted a lot of energy and along with adjusting to the Championship etc was seeing him burnt out just into the second half. Maybe he is learning to time his runs more efficiently and getting fitter as he is playing longer with good results.Some days a brace of goals will win you the match, his day is coming soon.

samo II Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Agard came on a lot last year but clearly he's not match fit, maybe a loan where he scores goals, gets match fit and comes back full of confidence.Despite our additions, we really cannot afford to be loaning out first team players right now - I don't for one moment think his confidence is a problem; more the opportunity/inclination to use him by SC, and if it is a fitness issue, I don't think it would be worth our while sending him elsewhere.Although unlikely, part of me wonders if he might start tonight; to get the best out of Wilbraham, I don't think we can expect him to play 90 minutes every game, and so far that is what he's done on all but one occasion in the league. Was understandable that when we had next to zero other options, he would likely start and play, but now I think we've other selections we can make.Additionally; some made the point that he adds height to our set pieces (both attacking and defending), something we lacked elsewhere. But what with Baker now looking likely to play, I'd say we've gone some way to remedying that.Personally I'd prefer us to look to the future somewhat, and play our younger players. Wilbraham rolled back the years last time out, but he is 36 next month, and I don't see him being on the playing staff here next year, while Agard most likely will, if he settles at this level. Give him a shot now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIlbs was great last year and I appreciate him scoring the goals to get us out of league 1, but in truth I don't think he is up to this level anymore.
