I'm sure people are tired of me posting about Kodjia but the guy has got the same goals as JORDAN RHODES, MOUSSA DEMBELE CHRIS MARTIN He's also got more goals than BRETT PITMAN TOMER HEMED TOM INCE SAM VOKES First season in English football and he's in the top 10 goal scorers. For a bottom 3 team. I really can't comprehend why some people would say he's "not good enough" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't really play that well with his back to goal. He is our best player and the formation gets close to 0.5% out of him. If you are going to start with one upfront it has to be Wilbraham.

I totally disagree. Kodjia may not be prolific but everything in his game apart from his finishing is top end championship. If we play wilbs we need runners behind him which we struggle to do. I think JK would benefit from someone up top with him. But near enough every team struggles to get 2 strikers on the pitch and keep it tight. He is our best striker as it stands and he will be the lone striker unless something changes tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New striker Freeman Tomlin Kodjia I think Kodjia would suit a wide right attacking role, and he could interchange with Freeman to keep the opposition on their toes! How's a one footed player (right) supposed to cut in and score, needs to be on the left as he hays no right foot, a poor mans JET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 You can't be bad if you score at this stage of the season 10 goals in your first season He needs assistance. The sort that 5 years ago Wibs could have provided Make a decent striker signing tomorrow and all will be well with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling me that a right footed player who is playing on the right can only score by cutting inside? No such thing as striking a ball across the keeper then obviously.

Chappers Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 To me, JK has been over-played this season. Last few weeks he has not looked right, caught offside far too often, and unwilling to pass to team-mates at the right time. It's his fir st season at this level, he has impressed, but with limited options, and a manager unwilling to use the full squad, he's just had too much to do. Hopefully, that will change tomorrow, although at current rate, might be Plan N! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codger could form a partnership with pretty much any other forward. The "problem" with a target man is that it gives the likes of Flint an easy option to hoof it long - and we all know what a very low percentage that particular option is.

freezer Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Codjer isn't a lone front striker. Wilbs brought more to the table in his short time than Codjer did all game. That's class. And that's what we lack in front of goal. Let's be fair, Agard missed a sitter at the end, free header, to nod in the winner. Codjer, first half, had a header from two yards but put it over. What is killing us is a finisher. One up front is pants. Take the game to the opposition, he'll, there ain't many below us, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbs is too old and can't do it anymore bar cameo's... Clearly we are waiting(and waiting)for the 'proven that can do it facing play,and will see even more goals from Jonathan when/if he arrives.you may have to wait for next season though!!
