Think he’s a great player but his decision making really pisses me off. He needs to learn when to pass the ball rather than keep hold of it. We had two men over today when he got flattened waiting for an easy slip pass in from him. He’s scored some great goals this season but beginning to think he’s getting a little bit greedy. Great result today well done lads.

He was way off the pace today.

I don’t think he’s necessarily greedy I just think his decision making is very poor at times, he wasn’t trying to shoot on the one he got taken out on he just took far too long to pass it.
I suppose that’s what separates the top players mainly, if he made the correct decision more often he wouldn’t be playing at this level

Just in a patch of poor form.
Normal service will soon be resumed I’m sure.

Don't know if he's lacking in confidence or teams have worked him out , but he seems reluctant to take players on.

He looks a yard off the pace and a brain short of a decision.
The opportunities he had to feed thru to other players running on today was frustrating as fuck.

Although he is always likely to get you a goal, today he was flat and, as others have said, his decisions or selfishness were not helpful. He should have been our first player subbed off today.
Hopefully it is just a temporary blip and Pelach will have the necessary harsh words with him. I am sure I saw Dean Whitehead having serious words with him after the Southampton game but he doesn't appear to have taken much notice of that discussion.
There is definitely a player in there but does need to understand it's a team game and not just all about him.

Teams have done their homework on him these days. He always wants to cut inside on his left peg - needs to develop another option if he's to remain effective. Too easy to predict and neutralise otherwise.

He’s a good player but with poor football intelligence.
Leeds or Sheffield Utd. would get him to use his team mates more, or they’d sit him on the bench.
We don’t have that luxury.

In the whole he has had a rather good season despite fading a bit lately. Never a 10M player though.

Is he fit? He was blowing and looked so slow. We'll never be decent at pressing whilst we've go Manoef and Bae in the side. They've not got the desire to press

Worth a punt surely? |

Yes, there was discussion on this board where many claimed he'd be worth 10m at least, when there was a rumour that Leeds(?) had bidded 3 million for him. I suggested that he'd be worth around 5M and I still stick by it. |

Needs dropping imo ,if he's not going to provide some contribution what's the point. He's no Ricardo fuller and doesn't create enough chances for me. Obviously on his day he's unplayable but it's becoming too infrequent

Probably why he’s playing for us and not in the Prem. His natural ability and physical strength are world class. His decision making is bottom half of Championship. At the moment. He’s young though…. |

Obviously on his day he's unplayable but it's becoming too infrequent He does get 'doubled-up on' quite a bit and too often there still isn’t much opportunity in front of him. |

That's no excuse for not passing to someone whos in a goal scoring position. If he would have finished it then fine but he's cost us a near certain goal there |

I thought it was his worse game so far, he kept running into blind alleys rather than passing but worse of all he didn't work hard enough off the ball. Would have taken him off for Koumas and left Seko on.

He didn’t play well but this greedy tag is a bit ridiculous. He must be our leading goal assister by a distance.
He’s arguably a tad out of form and he’s just taking slightly too long to make a decision in my opinion. Junho is exactly the same.
One of those 2 has to miss out on favour of koumas midweek.

He’s a good player, but he was poor today.
He’ll have much better days in the future.

Pretty much gave the ball away every time he had it in the final 3rd, but he keeps going again and the goals and assists will hopefully come over the next couple of games…..
