Sadly, it seems he isn't alone. Am I wrong. Of course I'm not. Anyone who has watched him knows his touch is shit he has no pace and constantly loses position.....i wouldn' expect that from a bristol city 5 mil signing.

1bristolcity Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think it's clear we don't have a natural 20 goal odd per season striker at the club, certainly not a Kodjia or a Tammy, Bobby has stepped up but is struggling to score enough on his own, not demeaning the club for having a punt on Fammy but he is never going to score enough for us to compete with the top clubs in this division, who have recruited more than their fair share of strikers. It's been a blind spot for us, as is defensive cover, the like of which we are paying for now RB has been an issue ever since Pisano was injured nothing has changed. It was fun while it lasted, and we have had a terrific 'front nine' but don't think we have enough in the squad now, to make the cut. Typical City, whilst other clubs kick on and push for promotion whilst we stand aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I thought he was poor but so were a lot of others. Just expected a bit more from a big money signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a 6 at best but both of these statements are way off what he brings to the team which is a decent touch and lay off - as per his last few games. Can't speak for TV but at the Macron he was our best player for the first quarter of an hour and the issue was any understanding around him. He is smart and always trying to drop and give a teammate the chance to break. By no means his best game for us but this reaction is comical, were you at Ipswich?

Not a very ‘academic’ way to approach a debate! Who needs a debate? Londoner has spoken. I am sure he will be telling you why he is qualified to make statements and not give opinions in his next post. Fam is what he is. He is big, strong and a hard worker. He doesn’t have the touch or passing Bobby does or even Djuric. What he does offer is creating the space for the other striker. He does this better than Djuric with his physicality getting into the body of defenders while Djuric looks for the space to flick on or bring it down. Famara also offers a willing runner into the channels. Not to score for himself but again to drag defenders out of position. On top of that he does tend to pop up with goals. So if you are looking at Fam to have a great touch and turn and fire a shot from 20 yards into the bottom corner then you will be disappointed. For 3/4 of a mil cheaper than Gary Madine with close to the same amount of goals while out for 3 months I know who I would rather have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 6 hours ago, GrahamC said: All true, but the fact is we need to do better against these sort of sides. We face Sunderland next week, have Brum, Burton and Millwall to play yet too. You can guarantee at least 3 of these will play like Bolton, we can’t go out there and think we are too good to compete with them and win. LJ’s comments afterwards were spot on, we ducked out of a lot of 50:50s and that sets a tone, one we could not seem to recover from. Final point, he isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but last night showed for me why we should have given Mark Little another year, 100% committed and unlike his replacement, available 90% of the time. Mark Little suffered from a very bad shoulder injury which kept him out of our side for months . Little is like " Bill " and Freeman for me a trier but not quite skillful enough to help us move up the league . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Think Famara is a very good player. He helps in def, he passes and he scores. Out for 3 month so it take time to be matchfit and play at the level he can. Yesterday all our team was not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know not popular but that's how I see it - It's not the first bad game, in my opinion he has had many but saving grace he has scored in those matches. If the goals dry up think he will be on the bench more often than not. Taylor Diedhou and Kent bring on last 15 minutes against a tired defence but not from the start. For Barnsley drop Diedhou for Durij. See what the consensus is it at the end of 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lethargic behaviour vs Leeds and Sunderland cost us as it put our defence under pressure. I simply do not rate him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 He has been very poor last 2 games. However he has also had a lot of good games.

I think you are being really unfair on him - his fitness tells after an hour but he was out for a number of months. 2 goals at Leeds yet you moan at him - he was left on pitch when clearly not useful after an hour. Also when you consider how bad the likes of Diony, Taylor and Woodrow are too - he isn't anywhere near as bad as you make out. I'd be happy with him, Djuric, Reid and a pacy striker for next season.
