BillySastard 3 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We looked a lot more attacking today. Fabbrini was the main man. Guy is like an ugly juninho! Juninho wasn't exactly handsome though, was he? Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P 300 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Now ill probably get slated because he scored twice, but Kike was poor today IMO, he is still missing far too many chances, he easily could have scored 2 more, and some of his link up play was poor, misplacing passes regularly. Tbf to him, he took his first goal well, but with Stuani and Nugent around, i think his days as first choice are numbered. Unbelievable. Very Believable. Mattyboro mentioned the same thing in his match report, all opinion based I suppose (DS) Link to post Share on other sites

Mattyboro mentioned the same thing in his match report, all opinion based I suppose (DS) Id settle for my striker having a shocker each week if he scored. :) My only criticism today is not adding to our goals for tally having set ourselves up nicely. Its a very tiny criticism though as very happy overall. Link to post Share on other sites
chipchat 61 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 From the highlights, looked like a clinical finish for Kike's first and doing the job a striker should in following up for his second. Be good to see the clips of his missed chances as well though for a more rounded view. Seems hard to knock a striker though that has just scored two. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Not sure if anyone saying Kike had a shocker.. but having been at the game I do see where Adam is coming from. Well done to the lad for bagging a brace though, and if he continues to start lets hope it long continue! Do people think Kike will start against Derby on tuesday? Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, despite his two goals, think we might see a change, just because it's close after this game and against a main rival. Want all the players to be fully fit and I heard mention of Kike hobbling a little before he came off. Nugent for the nod on Tuesday, I think. But then I didn't think Fabbrini would start today so what do I know? :D Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fairly confident Kike will start on Tuesday, it would be completely against Karanka's ethos to drop someone who has just scored two goals. Link to post Share on other sites

chipchat 61 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 So where did Downing play position-wise? Central, on the left or floating around? Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 So where did Downing play position-wise? Central, on the left or floating around? Mostly on the left but he did pop up in the centre and on the right once or twice Link to post Share on other sites

Mostly on the left but he did pop up in the centre and on the right once or twice Cheers. Be interesting to see how his position goes as the season wears on. Maybe lends credence to thoughts of still one more transfer for a left mid. Link to post Share on other sites
Mattam 3 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Good result and performance against a very poor team. Will say if there's any coaches or young kids on the board watch how fabbrini takes the ball. Head up, half turn control into space its a thing of beauty This! Always wanted the ball and Bolton didn't know what he was going to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I couldn't criticise anyone today. Great performance all round. And we are all waiting (well I am) for your programme feature, was it good to see it in print? :) Link to post Share on other sites

Naughty Boy 18 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Imo, Kike played well and Stuani looked rusty when he came on so I fully expect Kike to start on Tuesday.. Nugent still on the bench for now. Link to post Share on other sites
