Londoner Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Simply because it acts as a catalyst to long ball football, something that neglects the pace and guile we have going forward....its no coincidence that both us and wednesday seemingly lost all attacking threat when Nhuiu and Djuric came on tuesday....in fact i wouldnt even bring him on if we are behind. The only way i can see him not acting as a hinderence is if we end up having 3 up top with taylor, at least then we have some pace to go up top with him Ive been far from impressed with him thus far, makes Alby look like a racehorse he is that slow..but not writing him off. Lets hope he does a matt smith, lets be honest he has looked very very limited so far, not because hes crap just not sure he fits in with our style of play. Alby gets goals....his movement is far superior though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 He makes the ball stick up top. We've needed this for a long time. He needs to start. He also takes pressure off of Abraham, and if Tomlin starts behind Djuric creates extra space for him. Important player IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WECANDO Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Djuric gives us a different attacking option ala Andy Carroll. He's big and strong. The best attacker with aerial ability and holds the ball up extremely well and a battler. But he needs what we've only just got, a wide player who can cross the ball i.e. Cotterell.

I don't think anyone would be quite as hard on him if he taken one or two of his glaring chances. So far he hasn't scored. Obviously that's not fantastic, but he will be a very useful player for us moving forward, I don't doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Had two efforts that could have been goals, and 2 assists in his pocket and he's hardly been here anytime and not accustomed to his team mates... think he has a future here, and if we play two up front he is effective in the air and ball at his feet - we just need to get people to cross the damned ball.

Perhaps Tomlin is an issue then? I haven't seen much of the team in recent months, so I don't know, but if Tammy isn't the one that benefits most from our hold-up play, shouldn't it be our central attacking midfielder? Can't really comment on that as I said, but would be interesting to know what their link up play was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 87 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if we play some percentage football today and hit it long from the back. Rotherham will set up with 10 men including keeper behind the ball, so unless tomlin has some moments if magic we will struggle to pass our way through. Will be a very different game to Tuesday imo.

Charliesboots Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Seen nothing but hard work and an excellent foil for Tammy in the short time he's been here. From what I can recall he didn't lose one ball played into him. If he starts today I urge you to watch his work rate and the amount of possession he wins for us. Scoring will come, but remember his assists could be just as valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Mon Dieu... Djuric, is a breath of fresh air. When he's got the ball, he battles. When he wants the ball, it battles. I'd like to say he's a little terrier, but he so fricking big. I just wish everyone else in the team wanted the ball as much as he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
