That's why I always defend him, he gets far worse than any of the others but they're all much of the same - at some point you have to ask if that's a tactics issue or do we really just have 4 crap strikers? Stems from midfield sadly 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think Connolly is most definitely a Wilder signing and he’s now become stubborn about it. How many starts has Sporar had since Connolly came in? Hope he's got some ideas to rebuild our midfield too. Strikers can't score if the players behind them aren't creating chances (well, not many can). Link to post Share on other sites

Not being a Connolly-apologist at all, but seriously, how many passes were made into him that weren't long balls from Daniels? Watmore managed to get himself involved so what’s Connolly’s excuse exactly? Balogun was on for 10 mins, Sporar for about 20 mins. Connolly had 81 mins and if anything got even less involved than he had been in the early parts of the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He looks like a "lad" with his Love Island girlfriend and history of a bad attitude. Balogun doesn't bring that, and Sporar has a catchy song, so neither get pelters as much as him. It’s nothing to do with him being a lad. He hasn’t scored a goal for us yet. He has been credited with two own goals in his favour for some reason. Someone can check me on this ad I haven’t got it in front of me but I think that Connolly has played the most minutes of strikers since he arrived. With no goals to show for it. He doesn’t actually work that hard really. Watmore works harder than he does for example. So what is he bringing cos if it’s only work rate then he isn’t even our best at that. . 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Payero has been OK but has hardly pulled up any trees when he has played, and if he does comes into the starting 11 he's going to need to improve in my opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,398 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 He's had more chances than any striker since Wilder has been here, and sadly he is not delivering at all. I'd be giving one of the others a chance on Monday. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) A point in the bag but lately we are hard to watch. Not that we ooze quality but we now seem to have lost the belief, energy and effort. Just feels a bit of a damp squid and not really much to say about the game nor is it worth debating the playoff Edited April 15, 2022 by sanddancer 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leesider 1,069 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Coburn must be wondering what he has to do to get minutes. I know there is an element of the less he plays ,the better he gets but give the lad a chance.Bournemouth defenders could have had the deckchairs out today...Jones made one excellant run in the first half,looked up twice & nobody to cross it to.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
