cambridgeshire canary 6,735 Posted February 17 He's a right oddity. Does not really seem to do much, has no real pace or strength and yet.. Just loves to pop up and score from time to time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worthy Nigelton 1,051 Posted February 17 He's neat and tidy and has a goal in him. Not brilliant but not bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,661 Posted February 17 Far better than people realise - he’s not your jinky-runs winger, he’s far more solid and has a great knack of being in the right place - 6 goals vs none for Onel kind-of tells a story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,174 Posted February 17 Nowhere near as involved as Onel, but better end product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,385 Posted February 17 He's like the anti-Onel. All end product. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just loves to pop up and score from time to time He’s more like a wide striker/10 than a winger. He’s a clever and tidy player with a great finish and a knack of getting in good positions. Does the defensive work well, but he doesn’t have electric pace or the desire to get chalk on his boots. In fact he often does the opposite and drifts centrally. He’s just a different type of option. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted February 17 Agree with all of the above, Onel is exciting, passionate, great to watch and has very little end product. Fass does nothing all game to be visible and then just pops up and scores. So weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,609 Posted February 17 He's fine. Much better suited as a super sub to take advantage of tired defenders leaving spaces than a starter To be honest he needs goals because he does precious little else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quality (in my opinion) Fassnacht is an intelligent player and will get better as the season progresses I feel. More to come from him (although I believe that was his 6th goal this season today) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Apples 1,320 Posted February 17 He looks about 52, but fair play to him for doing a decent job when called upon. 🫡 Apples 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 173 Posted February 17 I think he had a really good cameo today. Certainly more than just popping up in the right place, he did an awful lot of work for his goal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,322 Posted February 17 He seems to be getting to grips with things and coming into some form at the right time. Certainly has an instinct for scoring a few. Not a natural wide player in my view due to lack of pace but a useful option to come on anywhere across the front 4 or 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,382 Posted February 17 I dare say he's another that looks better now that we seemed to have balanced attack & defence. Definitely a player for the opposition box instead of your own. One of the biggest problems through the bad run (and even some of the not-so-bad runs) was that our players spent very little time in and around the opposition box. Lovely to see that coming around.
