Canary dwarf 221 Posted August 13, 2023 I know he scored when he came on but he messed up two promising opportunities, firstly gets the ball on the right in a dangerous position and with Barnes unmarked in the middle puts a really poor ball in which was cut out and then sergeant puts him in with just the keeper to beat but his first touch was incredibly heavy and the keeper comes out and smothers it , hopefully in time he'll improve !

ZLF 285 Posted August 13, 2023 Not had the same pre season and clearly gaining match fitness as well as adapting to both a new team and league. His lack of pace is a worry but am sure he will improve with more pitch time. I'd have thought he is a certain starter on Weds 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S27 13 Posted August 13, 2023 I watched Fassnacht against Olympiacos and was very impressed by him. I think that he will perform much better if he starts the game rather than coming on as a sub and taking a while to adapting to the pace of the game. He’s very skilful and not afraid to run & dribble with the ball. Also has a powerful shot. No doubt that he will be a major player for us this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,895 Posted August 13, 2023 Very good player in him although he must be wondering why he's being benched for Onel (much as I love him) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S27 13 Posted August 13, 2023 Totally agree, with an end product. Big plus for Onel is his strength in the tackle but poor end product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 13, 2023 I do agree with one incident but think that Sarge drove the ball to him for the second. Yes he should control it but I think Sarge could have rolled it to him and he could have shot first time. That isn't a criticism of Sarge who had a good game yesterday.

Monty13 2,307 Posted August 13, 2023 He looks way short of match fitness which isn’t really surprising I suppose. That goal was clinical though, exactly what we needed in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,504 Posted August 13, 2023 Looked very one footed for that chance he fluffed, if he had used his left to control he would have been in on goal. Professional footballers hey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 6,132 Posted August 13, 2023 Lovely instinctive finish and wasn't afraid just to hit it first time, and he arrowed it into the corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 177 Posted August 13, 2023 This feels intensely harsh for a player that's been with us a fortnight, played about 30 mins of competitive football and scored an excellent instinctive finish yesterday. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or why he was playing with Young Boys either. All sounds a bit 'villianish' to me. I shall be keeping an eye on him. First sign of a toothbrush moustache and I shall be onto the Pinkuns young Joe 90 ace reporter. I'm not too sure of that Greek chappie we have either. Can he explain his movements' when those fires in Corfu started. 'Cor Fu what a scorcher' read the headlines. And that 'two lucky goals' Rowe. Gave away a throw in the second half. No wonder he was subbed. Perhaps the Pinkun could set up a Villain Watch Scheme, where knavish acts could be reported 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not the fastest, not the strongest, but I would bet 8 or 9 times out of 10 he will find himself in the right spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
