Bradshaw needs a creative outlet to score goals. No surprise they’ve dried up since Barnes left. Moore needs to start ahead of him. At least non-creative players can boot it to his head. Unfortunately that’s how bad things are going to be this season.
I really enjoyed his attempt 10 yards out when he preferred to hold off the defender and letting it roll through to the keeper than swinging a leg at it.
If effort was all it took he would be Premier League. Unfortunately you need more than that. Might be OK next season in League One though.
Lost count the amount of times Bradshaw has tried to lay the ball off 1st time and lost it recently he needs a rest. Start Moore he wins headers and the ball will stick gives defenders a different problem due to his sheer size + think Mcburnie would benefit from playing alongside him
The cheering when he was subbed off was pathetic. I like Tom but I’ve got to say that I’m hoping we don’t play 4-4-2 again this season meaning McBurnie will be our starting striker. Tom off the bench.
Tom can’t read a game at this level.He plays off his heels he waits until a ball is played and then makes his move which at this level against good defenders just doesn’t work
If we had dropped Bradshaw 5 weeks ago we would not be in the bottom 3 now, he has drained the life out of the rest of the team. The defeat tonight gives us a better chance of staying up because now everyone can see what I ve been moaning on about for months, tap in Tom is a good league 1 striker but not anywhere near good enough for this league. Tonight he went off and the team and fans all lifted. Hopefully 442 has now disappeared as well and after tonight hammill and isgrove will struggle to get in and mahony might as well go back. Potts was excellent the no. 10s are coming. He has got to play either Gardner or Williams not both.
Nice to see the majority waking up to this, he is not good enough for this level. And I see nothing to suggest he ever will be.
How can you blame one player for being in the bottom three ? Its a team game & he does not pick the team & however poor he was last night , he was not on his own , totally unfair to make him the scapegoat for our current position
This it’s rubbish. First it was Davies fault now Bradshaw. We recruited poorly in tbe summer and sold lost all our best players We lack any creativity as a team and insist on playing 6 defensive players. That’s why we are where we are.
No one is making him 'scapegoat', they are merely discussing his merits or rather lack of them. You are right, he is not on his own, we have a side riddles with bad laiker, total punts who are not working out.
I like Bradshaw he is a good league 1 striker but I love BFC more and it has been clear for months that he has stifled how the rest of the team have had to play. For 20 minutes yesterday was the first time we have allowed mcburnie and Moore or Thiam play together with out Bradshaw and it was clear to see the difference. I wish for Bradshaw that he could have succeeded but he hasn't, there has never been an outlet for our midfield and defenders, no respite because of good hold up play, no presence in the box to put a good ball in to, no skill or strikes out of nothing to win us a game and other players in the team have suffered for it. It's not just Bradshaw that needs changing but he is a big part of it.
I hear what you are saying, but previously you said that if we had dropped Bradshaw 5 games ago then we would not be in the bottom 3 , that is totally unfair , we are in the bottom three for numerous reasons & to blame one player is totally unfair
