AnglianRed 6,229 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 10 minutes ago, Neverbefore said: I do agree with this generally, but when you look at the service from both sides over the last 3 games.. it doesnt really matter how good the players are in the air. Also, we never have more than 1, max 2 players in the box for crosses due to strikers being dragged out wide to try to win long balls. Plus we are so slow and predictable, its easy for teams to set up to defend against us, even when players do actually manage to find their team mates. We dither on the ball so long, that any openings there might have been get blocked, so we end up going backwards or sideways. Link to post Share on other sites

I cant think of one! Tav used to do it for me, but the whole team is just so lacklustre now, that you know there is unlikely to be any end product from anyone actually getting forward and beating a couple of opponents. 90% of the time they end up isolated and either lose the ball or are forced to put it out for a corner or throw in.

We’re an average at best Championship club because of the poor decision-making at the top of our club. If any serious criticism is to be directed anywhere for us having players not good enough to get us promoted such as Johnson, it should be at Gibson and Gill, and absolutely not at Johnson for playing to the level of an average Championship player. Its unfair to single out any individual when the team as a whole isn't up to scratch. If it was just one or two players letting down an otherwise good side, I could understand it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

In fact you could have also said same about Sheff Utd team who finished 8th in PL last season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Adamjr9 139 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I think Gibson heard Warnock’s message loud and clear with the speed that this one has been done 2 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,398 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 This signing has grown on me. Happy with that, hope he proves a success! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) This to me puts in perspective Neil's influence with Gibson, Pulis couldn't convince Gibson to go to 1.7 million pounds for Isaac Vassell and Woodgate couldn't get Puscas/Glatzel sanctioned. 2.75 million on one player is alot of trust from Gibson and for Warnock to spend that big a chunk of his budget on Akpom he must have real confidence that it's good business.

thatoldchestnut 583 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Now get the CH and another CF that Warnock has said he wants in as quickly as possible, likely both on loan. Then hopefully they may review things and realise we need a couple more in. Link to post Share on other sites
