I don’t actually remember him touching the ball, but I’d kind of lose interest when the second goal went in. We had a decent spell towards the end of the game.
He cratered a chance. That was eclipsed by his own chance. He got fouled and I saw a Moon landing on the floor.
To me he looked like a defender having to play midfield, I believe he’s a centre half by trade so very similar to Halme. Shows our lack of depth in midfield this season that we’re having to bring on defenders to play in the middle. It’s been our Achilles heel this season IMO. Don’t get me wrong though he did as well as he could’ve done being out of position and fair play to him for almost scoring. Just think in summer we definitely need to be bringing in more natural midfielders regardless of what division we find ourselves in. Hopefully Mowatt doesn’t leave because if he does it’ll be like when Hourihane left and we saw how long it took to replace him. To replace someone like Mowatt with a like for like replacement you’d have to spend about £3-4M on one player and that just isn’t gonna happen whilst we’re in Championship. Hopefully Kane will come good and Palmer is still learning but is improving every game.
I think moon was only brought on as we have already secured our play off place, I also think that's the reason chaplin started because if we have had to beat Preston to secure a play off stop I would have been depressed seeing chaplin start. Mowatt will leave unless we defy the odds and win the play offs. I think kane long term is his replacement and we will bring in another in the summer. People have been crying out for styles to play center mid and jordan williams to play wing back. Way styles has been playing a change could do him good.
I'd play Styles in the middle vs Norwich & Jordan Williams as wing back. If it works it could be the playoff starting team IMO. I'd probably stick with Solly at the back over Sibbick, maybe bring him on at half time. I'd give Victor a start up front & bring Chaplin or Morris on at half time. Really want to save Morris for the playoffs.
Yeah palmer has been inconsistent he was great v huddersfield a few week back but at times goes missing. Kane and mowatt together would be too lightweight. If there was a game to give styles a go in center midfield its norwich. Hopefully freiser is back for the playoffs aswell.
We have missed the Iceman. He's the best at front line closing down & looks a lot more dangerous as Chaplin IMO. That said on his day Chaplin is superb. His best performances come off the bench IMO.
I'm not struck on chaplin to be honest I don't think he is championship quality he seems a nice lad and all that but I don't think he would be starting in many championship teams. I wasn't too struck on freiser earlier on in the season but I like his energy needs to add some goals and assists to his game but he is a team player.
