Sylla done well

[Norths]

Unfortunately Jimmy doesn't know how to setup a team to play two up top.

he shouldn't play Conor in a lone striker role, think he would have been a lot happier partnering BFG. Jimmy's done a hatchet job on Washington imo

He shouldn't play Conor at all. How many excuses do people want to give the guy. He can't adapt to playing alone? He's had 8 months knowing that he will be playing lone striker and he hasn't adapted. He's given opportunities over players who score goals and keeps getting subbed off, only for us to finally score when he's off the pitch. It happened today, it happened a few times last season and it will keep happening if he's given a starting role. He's our 3rd in line striker now and he could have been our regular starter if he took his chances like Sylla's done, like Polter's done and like the next striker we sign will undoubtedly do.

Bang on Nasser

I'm all for thinking outside the box but I cant see circumsizing two of our midfielders helping tbh.

How about we start a Male Genital Mutilation thread, just to balance out the preferential treatment given to FGM threads on LFW.

Question is why did Les & Jimmy buy him if he clearly cant play in the preferred system?

Less skin. More streamline. Faster

Every half decent player in world football should be able to adapt to some degree to a style of play with enough training. Take Austin as an example of a player who some said couldn't play alone up front yet scored 11 champ goals doing so in half a season. CW hasn't adapted, it happens, but that's not to say the decision to buy him was a wrong one, it's just that now that we know, he should be on an exit list. For his sake and ours.

Charlie Austin has the size to play up front and is a big lad, Young Conor is a more nippy striker so very hard to compare the two.

Nasser in bang on though, how many more excuses will we make for Washington? It's pretty clear to see the lad is way out of his depth. Nothing against him, he does work hard, but he just isn't anywhere near good enough.

How did Borysuik play when he came on West?

Answering on his behalf, personally thought he done well, without being outstanding. Seemed fairly assured and kept possession well. Think he could be a good player, but hard to judge too much coming into such a $hit game.

Matty, He may well turn out to be a total dud but I think to get the best out of him may require two up top which is unlikely to happy under this manager.
