He doesn't get up the pitch as much so he hasn't been part of as many goal attempts. But Crooks is prone to some very sloppy passes from time to time and bad challenges, despite his many good qualities Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I know he's been a scapegoat for a lot of people recently but I thought Tav was well below par tonight, offered very little if anything going forward and the less said about his corners the better. Tonight isn't a season defining result by any stretch but it would be nice to see Wilder freshen up the side for the next couple of games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Belagun looks a proper player He did tonight, made a small cameo and he pulled off plenty of quality touches. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroBoy1989 229 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’d start watmore and balogun Saturday. Thought balogun was sharp when he came on. Sporar was poor and Connolly looks like he’s got absolutely no confidence Payero must not be doing it in training, to not even get an opportunity at all tonight. Tav seems to be unsubbable for some bizarre reason not a good performance, but we should’ve still scored second half. Awful goal to concede, and Lumley not to blame (hallelujah) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thats said I thought we were poor tonight and didnt deserve the win, but probably didnt deserve to lose either. One awful mistake cost us. Link to post Share on other sites

Teams are very quickly learning our only threat comes from the right I agree, shows how good Jones is though. They still can’t stop him when he gets going. Link to post Share on other sites

Still don’t know how Crooks hasn’t scored his at the end. Just keep the ball down ffs. Connolly and Jones had great chances too but lost composure. Definitely had some opportunities.

Foxtrot Oscar Colin 607 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 2 minutes ago, chickenlunch said: not sure what Sporar really offers tbh. Connolly looks lively at least, but neither were great tonight. Balogun looks to be by far the best player in his two brief outings. Sporar is overrated. He's an average striker at best at this level. He has his moments but so does Gary Madine and the likes and we wouldn't be splashing 8m euros on players of that ilk. Gallagher and Carroll are levels ahead of him for what you need in the championship as a number 9 you can see the difference in the level of threat over the course of the game when you compare the performances. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Balogun looks so sharp. Has to start next game. I'd give McGree a spin at LWB too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Who put in the cross for Crooks 2nd header btw? I can't remember tbf 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When Warnock left if you’d said top 2 was a realistic option most people would have laughed I still don’t think it’s a realistic target to be fair but yes, I get your point.

Sporar didn’t have a great game but his movement is better than than all our other strikers we got and plays with passion of kike. connelly is just plain not ready, maybe given 2 months he be ready.
