dylanisabaddog 4,877 Posted July 4, 2020 There is obviously something the matter with me because every time I see this lad he looks like the best forward at the club. He can hold the ball, run channels and score goals. And yet Drimic gets a start. Am I mad? What on earth is going on? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely agree, I don't get it either and if you're resting for whatever reason then this lad is a far better bet than Drmic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted July 4, 2020 No one other than Farke understands why Drmic and Duda keep getting picked. Literally anyone in our squad who can play in either of these positions, should be getting picked ahead of these two. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted July 4, 2020 I want to see more of Idah. When he came in and scored a hat trick in the cup he deserved to get a proper look in, when Pukki was devoid of confidence he should have been the next one up, Drmic offers absolutely nothing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's an argument for playing anyone who can't play in those positions ahead of those two. Genuinely, would the team look markedly worse if Duda or Drmic were dropped and replaced with McGovern??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted July 4, 2020 Idah is promising and I would Play him now in preparation for next season but Pukki should have started today and against Everton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Drmic makes RVW look world class. I can not believe we let Sberny leave and have instead given this charlatan minutes on the pitch. He lacks absolutely everything needed to be a decent centre forward and I can’t see it improving at championship level Edited July 4, 2020 by JF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted July 4, 2020 Idah looks a really good prospect. But theres also the risk of him coming into a side that's not creating much and having his confidence shattered going into next season which could be his breakthrough. Baring in mind Farke clearly got it right on when to introduce Cantwell, Aaron's, Godfrey and Lewis, we should probably let him get on with it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No runs, not a target man. Nothing. I don’t like to write posters off as he may be ok at champ level but he’s not a premier league starter in this side. Duda is even more of a waste of space.

Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted July 4, 2020 Managing Idah's progression is sensible to a point, but it shouldn't be an excuse for picking Drmic who is one of the worst strikers I have ever seen here. Aarons, Lewis and Godfrey were thrown straight in, no reason why he shouldn't be. The season is over now, give Idah a few starts and get some games under his belt.

Don’t be Krul 398 Posted July 4, 2020 I think Idah had only been on the pitch about 2 mins when the ball was pinged into him and he controlled it and brought others into play. That piece of play alone was more than Drmic did all game. He offers no goal threat, doesn't link up, cr@p in the air. Idah must be on a fraction of what that dog plop Drmic is on. For me, Idah has to start the remaining games 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam has been watched closely by lots of teams for quite a few years and for very good reason. It was a great recruitment by us and this lad is going to go far in the game. Hopefully his time has come and the timing in terms of breaking into a first team slot is just about right. I see a very good season ahead for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlikely to get his confidence shattered playing a few games at the end of the season when we’re already down. He’s probably desperate to get some prem minutes under his belt, no pressure on him now. Would have thought a chance to get minutes against Chelsea or Man City with no real pressure on him would be amazing for his confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a glass half full kind of guy and thank god I am as this is definitely a glass half empty line up. So this suggests well lose: McGovern, Aarons, Lewis, Godfrey, Klose, Trybull, Leitner, Stieperman, Cantwell, Pukki and Dr Mic Wow, we really are in trouble if that many need to go.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 4, 2020 The one positive I can take from today is that we have a striker at the club that can also head the ball. I think we can all look forward to the emergence of Adam Idah next season. No pressure but I reckon he’ll be our best relatively homegrown striker since Chris Sutton I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,199 Posted July 4, 2020 'Wow, we really are in trouble if that many need to go' I don't think that many NEED to go. However I'd be surprised if offers weren't made and there's no point keeping any player if they want to go. Remember how much Ashton took the ****. If we get a decent offer and they want to leave sell them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarycop 205 Posted July 4, 2020 My thoughts To go Cantwell to liverpool £30m Aaron's to Spurs £30m Lewis to Palace £20m Buendia to Leeds £20m Pukki to for some reason I think Southampton £10m Released for free Vrancic Leitner Stieperman Trybull If we get fees then great and we probably will cos Webber is a good operator Got a funny but God feeling we are gonna be the new cant win anything with kids team......and we will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,492 Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Not exactly @Rich T The Biscuit. I was trying to consider what Farke meant in his comment about "lots" of different faces. It was a provocative post to get debate going but canarycop has posted and has done the job. I can see some released, some sold (4 players...Emi, Todd, Max and possibly Lewis/Teemu). I've made a list. Edited July 4, 2020 by sonyc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,123 Posted July 4, 2020 Did he run over Farke's dog or something? He should have so much more game time. Especially recently as he looks hungry! He will go places that kid, I just hope not yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
