NFN FC 1,123 Posted April 1, 2023 Should have a good shot of earning a place in team that plays 12 strikers at any one time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,343 Posted April 1, 2023 Pleased for the lad, deserves a shot given our forwards performances lately. Hopefully we have a few decent midfielders who can create chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,736 Posted April 1, 2023 Definitely deserves a chance to start, given the form of our “strikers” - I can’t even recall when one of them last scored, but we’ve only scored one in four so that says it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,325 Posted April 2, 2023 I feel for him really. Only a matter of time before he gets the dogs abuse that Idah does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,953 Posted April 2, 2023 This isn't an attack on him, but to me he seemed rather overwhelmed by the occasion. He definitely had none of the immediate impact of either Rowe or Springett on their debuts. Worryingly, his first touch looked iffy on a couple of occasions - the last thing we need is yet another striker who can't trap a football or weight a pass - but maybe it was just nerves. Let's hope next time he comes on in happier circumstances and he can relax into the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought his touch was OK was he seemed unready for the pace of the game and how quickly tackles would come in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,157 Posted April 2, 2023 Didn't look ready. Don't take that as me writing him off because I don't mean it in terms of ability he just tried too hard to impress, lacked composure and didn't really do anything well. We've seen him look good in YT highlights but he isn't ready for the first team yet. That was not the game or time to introduce a young player, it felt like a message to Webber to me that Wagner feels like he doesn't have the right forward options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
