Legend that he is we can’t afford sentiment today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Game is there for the taking. I'm hoping we can take a chance early in the second half. We have a habit of playing well for 45 minutes then ****ting the bed second half (Huddersfield anyone?) and if the game stays 0-0 we'll get desperate and they'll get confident. If Marquinos remains ineffective I'd like to see Nunez get a good 30/35 minute run out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s not a winger or a second striker/ yet we persist in playing him there - I think he would score if allowed to play in his own position Wasn't Wagner even quoted, when he first arrived, as saying something along the lines that he saw Sargents best position as the lone striker? If correct its baffling he's not allowed him to develop in that role, especially when Pukki has been so barren in front of goal 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,222 Posted April 10, 2023 Another game where we've started very well and should probably have been a couple up with Sara and then Pukki missing chances they should have hit the target with them faded away. Still look the better Side, just frustrating we're not comfortably ahead like we should be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s clear Sarge can’t play anywhere else other than up top. Yet Wagner, is the third manager to consistently put him there. Yep, baffling! And annoying. If there's a reason for it, I fail to see it along with most of us City supporters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasted when played out of position.  3 minutes ago, Dean Coneys boots said: You can see the issue- toothless up front and Pukki is a big part of that. He needs to be bench warming now - he’s lost a yard  3 minutes ago, Creedence Clearwater Couto said: I don’t understand why Pukki is not deeper of the two today….

No disrespect to Pukki for what he has done for us, but sentiment alone does not justify playing him as first choice any more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted April 10, 2023 Take Teemu off. Put Nunez on and Sarge up front. Then slap half of them round the ear and tell them ball control is essential. Too many times we have let them nip in because of poor control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isn't being disrespectful of Puuki, who has been tremendous, but he's just not a target man type of player when playing with wingers. Whereas Sargent is big and strong and puts himself about, and seems to give us more versatility when he's up top 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldy09 158 Posted April 10, 2023 I was perhaps over opportunistic saying there will be a 2-2  score line - looking like we could blow this chance of over taking Blackburn- maybe Rotherham going to snatch a 1-0 win- we not converting our chances and it may cost us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
