cidered abroad Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 2 hours ago, Phileas Fogg said: I read those comments more about positioning and playing a role in a team, more off the ball stuff rather than in possession. There was a fair few times Saturday he should be releasing the ball earlier in my view though. It will be even more helpful to Kodjia if Freeman played some balls in much earlier instead of "it's my ball and I'm playing with it until somebody gets it off me". There is the real problem. How many goals would Vardy have at Leicester if their midfield held on to it instead of the quick release on the break? We are not playing to Kodjia's strengths. And when Kodjia gets the ball out wide are there any of our midfield busting a gut to get into the penalty box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that however Kodjia stills try's to beat too many people before he releases, to be fair to him though sometimes he is completely isolated and has little choice!

Ivorguy Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 If we do bring in a striker who is dropped ? Kodjia, Freeman, Tomlin Or will he merely replace Kodjia after 60 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on. He's got no choice. There's no support running from midfield to help out. Part of the reason they never score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how you've defined that mate...maybe towards the end of games when Wilbs and Agard have come on...but we generally start with a back four, two DM's, 3 'roaming' AM's and Kodger...who have you seen as a partner to Kodger up front?

twodogs Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I just cannot see Burns being the answer and to be fair having been let go on loan not sure it's fair to put that sort of pressure on him. Let him get the experience on loan which will hopefully benefit us for seasons to come. As far more knowledgeable posters have put in other threads there are other strikers out there from both Prem clubs to experienced championship ones. No not some bloke called smith....

Johnson is still learning which tactics are best but hopefully doesn't revert 3-5-2... It simply didnt work and we were easy to cut through, players didn't even have to make individual errors for us to be beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely academic until next week, an outfield player has to stay on loan for a minimum of 28 days so he can't play for us again until the Bolton game. If he scores on Saturday, making it 3 in 6 games (4 starts) for Wes, I'd be very surprised if we didn't bring him back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Charles N'Zogbia? Just trying to think of forward players who don't get any game time in the prem. Legs gone I reckon. Peaked at Southampton, fair play to him. Looked awful against us at The Hawthorns. Would take him 3-4 games to get up to speed, and we can't afford that. Would take Anichibe over him. Could we get Glenn Murray or Lewis Grabban?

Though he could do better by not trying to dribble past every opposition player And bizarrely that does seem to be the plan most of the time, madness unless you have someone who can hold the ball up and feed the "runners" - and we have neither someone who can hold a long ball nor any midfield "runners" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
