GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,734 Posted October 31, 2020 Thought he did ok today...but a little raw and decision making not quite there yet. Will be a threat particularly on the break like the 2nd half today purely because of his pace, but has to take advantage of that by playing the right ball. Hernandez doesnt always get it right but can't help feel that he would have had a field day in that second half today ...need him back asap 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 404 Posted October 31, 2020 I thought he did well but it's clear Pukki gets very frustrated with his decision making. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a few times he could have passed to Pukki in an open goal situation, which I'm sure when the players watch the highlights Pukki will no doubt point out to him 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the last attempt (I think it was the last one) that Placheta put wide and Pukki put his head down in frustration, after watching the replay I'm not so sure that Puuki wasn't more frustrated with not having received the initial pass. Once Placheta had the ball there really wasn't much way to get the ball back across to Pukki. Could very well be wrong, but I do believe Pukki could have been in on goal if the first pass had gone to him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,495 Posted October 31, 2020 Considering he's only just come into the team I think he's done the best he could. Once he's got the measure of our other players I think his decision making will be better. A good addition to the squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted October 31, 2020 In the first half particularly, his runs took a defender with him , leaving Pukki with one less to deal with. He was also pretty quick to track back , although may take a bit to get used to the blocks and nudges that go on off the ball in this league. Will be a very useful outlet in games with his pace, just better decisions in and around the pen area..... much as can be said for Argos, though I thought his movement to be smarter than Onels, quicker but less body strength. Good options.

kirku 1,332 Posted October 31, 2020 Got all the physical attributes to be a real asset. Fairly clear it wasn't in the plan to have him starting quite so soon. The things he lacks can be coached into him, the weapon he brings can't. Surely that's a good thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was also at least one occasion (I think in the first half) where Pukki could/should have laid Placheta in when he'd made a perfect run, but turned back instead. Agree that Placheta's decision making was pretty poor, but it did cut both ways. My wife asked whether they'd had a row in training or something, as in the first half in particular neither of them seemed to want to pass to the other! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,495 Posted November 5, 2020 Watching Placheta's body language on The City View of the Bristol game, I thought he looked a bit desperate to impress, trying too hard & letting his missed attempts get to him. Hopefully he'll gain the self-confidence enabling him to keep cool under pressure; perhaps a long chat with Teemu wouldn't come amiss? Obviously scoring a few goals would be the best tonic. Saturday would be a good time to start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,135 Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Seems a lively player who likes to get involved. One of the more enthusiastic of newcomers in recent times. With all that reported pace of his I expected a winger who sits on the touchline, rounds the full back and puts in a cross Bill Punton style. Instead he does like to wander, pops up everywhere and likes a shot ...... twice unfortunately at the expense of a pass to Pukki (?) in a better position, but once unluckily hitting the woodwork. Could well become a fan's favourite, but having a soft spot for Hernandez I would still prefer him, when on 'his day' that is.

If we get that far I keep thinking this. Pace is his biggest asset and yet he seems reluctant to run at his fullback. Perhaps we could drop the ball in behind once in a while for him to run onto. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,129 Posted February 5, 2021 Been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but Argos has done more in 45 minutes than Placheta has done so far this season. Perplexed as to why he never seems to try and beat a man and win a foul - not much point in having all that pace if he just turns back all the time. A real disappointment so far.
