    Good performance again from the big man.

    Not too worried about his lack of goals just now, as long as he keeps hitting the target, as he has been, the goals will come.

    I like what he’s offering the team just now.

    Feel bad for him because he's been excellent, only thing halting his goal ratio has been the heroics of a few keepers

    Really warmed to the guy since he came back from injury. Big nuisance and looks like he really cares.

    Must be a torture to play against!

    What a difference a couple of weeks make for this guy... He was being 'Ralstoned' out the door about a month ago, and now he's back at about 90% fitness, gaining sharpness and confidence by the game and the support are starting to take to him...

    No doubt he'll be enemy#1 again in a couple of weeks time... :56:

    I expect him to be in the starting lineup on Wednesday again. Think he has played well the last 2 games but if he can get himself a goal Wednesday that would be just massive for his confidence levels.

    Definitely think he's better suited to playing away from home. Would 100% start him on Wednesday night

    My original understanding of what he is was well off. I assumed he'd get lots of penalty box goals but contribute little in the build up. Seems like the opposite. Hoping once he gets a few he'll get loads but his contributions to create space and drag defenders about is crucial to the two wide men and attacking midfielders scoring and assisting.

    He is doing everything right and bringing alot to the team apart from score, once that comes he will be a big asset to have

    Guys playing really well and like most, I'm warming to him a lot lately.

    But he needs to find the goals pretty quickly now.

    I don't mean this badly against hi,m I completely see what he brings to the side and he would be a great option to have against some oppositions.
    Howeve, everyone back and fit, he will quickly drop down the pecking order unless he can start banging the goals in as well.

    Kyogo is going to play through the middle with Jota and Abada either side. Maeda would be next in line to play up too, giakoumakis becomes third choice, which is a great option for us to have, but for his own sake to keep getting the game time, he may need to start getting the goals to add that element to his game as well.


    That all said, again, the guys been brilliant last couple games and deserves to have a few goals between those games.

    The thing is, in games where we need something different up front, there's no point in bringing Maeda on for Kyogo. GG will still get plenty of game time. Has to start games against Livi, Ross County etc too.
