Well it has been more than a few months now, and I don't look like an idiot yet. He's a poor footballer, and I stand by my OP when I said he looks like a standard League One player. Saw a lot more quality in Ian Henderson at a younger age, and League One is where he spent most of his career, same with Chris Llewellyn and Adrian Forbes. Not sure if you are old enough to really remember those wingers, but I'd rate them all better than Placheta. He is simply not the required standard, one we've got wrong.

Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted February 5, 2021 Needs to go on loan to Rovrum. Unfortunately it looks like a signing based on Youtube videos. He's severely lacking confidence but looks out of his depth in the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,423 Posted February 5, 2021 Doesn’t seem to have a footballing head. Quick, really quick, and can carry the ball, just loses his head far too easily and still looks like he’s never played with his teammates before even after half a season. A gamble that I fear hasn’t paid off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A gamble that I fear hasn’t paid off. The one defence that I do have is that it must be really difficult moving abroad then not being able to bring friends and family over, explore your new city, or meet other Polish people to socialise with. Same does apply to Sorenson though, who has thrived regardless and is a similar age. But still think we should just loan him out next season, see if he comes back with a bit more bottle the year after. It should be a loan designed to toughen him up a bit, send him somewhere grim like Sunderland to get kicked.

Big O 287 Posted February 5, 2021 He is 22, played English football in COVID times for 6 months. He does look very raw and isn’t quite on the same wave length as the rest of the team at the moment but I would still give him time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree he should be on the bench, I think had Hernandez been fitter the he would have been. I know Hernandez isn’t a world beater but he is our one winger that can take a man on either side and he backs teams into their own box with his close footwork, he makes us have a different option. I actually thought Idah was useful tonight too. To be honest, it is a slight worry that we don’t appear to quite know our best side yet but we have 18 games that is a long time to get in the groove Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can’t afford to have him in the team messing everything up. We are not clinical enough as it is with Pukki having his annual complete loss of confidence.

De Waard only got 4 games though, and there was me thinking that its actually harsh on De Waard! Didn't help that he compared himself to Marc Overmars when arriving though, kind of raised expectations himself there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted February 5, 2021 Serious black mark on Farke to think that the best solution to cover Buendia's absence in these 2 games was with Placheta...one , maybe...but both? Very poor judgement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted February 5, 2021 I’m not sure why he’s currently being picked. I certainly expected Onel to start today given PP’s last two performances. I appreciate it’s a strange season but PP has one goal and no assists in lord knows how many matches this season. I can’t remember the last time he actually took a player on in the league. I actually think that Josh Martin looks a more accomplished player and has more assists this season, from a handful of games? I’m not writing PP off but he’s nowhere near a starter in a team with Pukki up top on his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
