If as some fans are suggesting that Bradshaw wants out, then that means one of our main striker roles is up for grabs. And bear in mind Keiffer Moore himself might not even be classed as a main striker for much longer if he keeps on missing these sitters. This Morais type idea of putting our strikers in an attacking wide role, it just isn't right and we're not getting the best out of them. Part of me really wants to see Thiam finally get his chance up front, although Ive got my doubts about him as well obviously. Him and Moore together though, for some reason I just can't see it working.
Bradshaw - I can see your polint Moore - he is superb at everything at our level apart from finishing. But he's such a problem that he must play. Adeybojo on todays performance is a work in progress. Compare him to Thiam today - Thiam is far better
Let's hope we get off to a good start. Always easier to blood & bring players on in a successful environment. 5 or 10 minutes here and there when game is closed off would do Vic wonders.
I think Thiam looks so much better on the wing. When he played up front he'd usually gravitate out wide, leaving us with two wingers and no one in the box. I still question his decision making and can see him attempting to take players on in the wrong areas, losing the ball and leaving us under pressure, but I can also see him creating goals. At the very least, he finally looks fit and he's a genuine option on the wing in a 4-4-2 when I was worried we'd be relying on the injury prone Hedges and Isgrove with no back up. It's up to him now to work hard and take the chance - I hope he does.
I don't think either of our ..back up strikers are up to it personally. Adeboyejo will be 4th choice won't he.. So only with a couple of injures he'd be in. is he good enough for L1 at present, i'd say no.. So you ether put him on the bench. or... id loan him out to get first team games at a lower level.. And bring someone in who could really challenge Moore and Bradshaw.. I'm also a bit worried that if owt happens to our first choice strikers, our go too option will be Thiam.. Even tho I think he'll do better in L1 than last season.. I still wouldn't want to pin our promotion hopes on his shoulders.. Another striker needed please... even a decent loan..
Not sure how many league 1 teams have 4 strikers that are all pushing for a first team spot, with lower league teams you have to hope that one of the back up strikers or u23s come good.
well i watched the hull game and he so didnt look out of depth,looked hungry fast and great on the ball
He looked a handful did Victor against a decent Hull defence. What happened to Jacob Brown? is he injured?
I'm not worried about our striking options. Victor & Jacob should be give a chance from the bench, when needed. We need to have faith in our academy, it looks like that is one of the reasons Stendel was appointed. He will have a good idea where these lads are at. The fact that he has promoted him to the first team squad suggests he has some faith in him.
