Yeah I think so. Then when Mads is back, he'd put pressure on Sibbick and Kitching. Helik plays every game for me. He's incredible.
I don't think he's been great this season so far, hoping he can show the form he did last season and one day score a goal for us. He's hit the post and been inches wide on so many occasions this and last season.
Do you think team selections have given the impression that the squad is more thread bare than it actually is?
Agree with everything you've said. But on this one you've got Oulare at 6ft 4 and a target man, or Iseka who looks like he could be explosive and creative once he finds his feet and fitness. It's probably a case of who starts at #9 between Oulare and Woodrow. If it's Woodrow then Iseka plays as a wide forward. If it's Oulare then you've got Woodrow or Iseka for the wide role.
There are some players he plays in certain positions that I wouldnt have done bringing moon and halme on 2nd half at qpr, odour as a forward while Cole and vic sit on the bench but its been done to a death on here. The new striker looks abit off it so far and Oulare has been here months and still not fit enough? How fit do we need to be its not intense pressing football like under val.
Collins J Williams Helik Kitchen Brittan Hondermack Benson Gomes Styles Woodrow Iseka Hondermarck and Benson to cover the back 3...Brittan. Gomes. Styles to support going forward...
To be fair to Schopp, we don't know if taking Palmer and Benson off were forced on him at QPR. Palmer looked to be hobbling (and is rarely effective for more than an hour), and they might have seen an issue with Benson's levels as well. Unfortunately, at the time we had no other midfielders available. And in the same game, Cole came on for Odour, and didn't do enough to be seen since.
Spot on you could build his match fitness up with cameo's at least. There should be core fitness. That said it's easy to forget how finely tuned an athlete the modern footballer needs to be.
I find it really strange that he hasn't played because of fitness, he's a footballer he should be a athlete and always in shape were 9 games into the season he's been here months and he's still not fit enough. Like you say he should be having cameos to build him up. Iseka doesn't look 100% fit yet but he is getting game time.
He's not played because he's been injured since his visa came through. He's now back training and will be available soon enough. Exactly the same process as with every player that has to recover from injury.
Regarding Cole. I find it strange he isn't playing because Schopp wants "more from him" but he's only played twice. He hasn't had a chance to do more. If it's his attitude in training. I can sympathise with the player. You don't train as hard once you've burst a gut to get in a side to constantly be overlooked. Performance does drop. If you're thrown a bone and few cameo's and some light at the end of the tunnel you pick up.
I've been hearing he's not fit enough for a long time and was told by someone close to the club it was only iseka who had visa issues.
