Conor Washington

[skranger]

Not seen him in the right formation

[MattyRangers]

You know what Jim I'm one of the more vocal about Conor being out of his depth, but tonight was one of his better performances. Looked lively and done well cutting in from the left.

Overall though it is clear he isn't upto it at this level IMO. I actually quite like him in that he always gives 100%, certainly no shortage of effort, just not quite good enough.

[MattyRangers]

Paid £2.75m I think but could be wrong.

[Hertford Hoop]

Been a bit disappointing hasn't he, as said above he has had a bit of a run now. Are we playing to his strengths or is it he is trying hard but just can't play our style? Always hopeful he'll turn the corner, his country still have faith

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Thanks Matty. I've defended him on here for a long time, but I'm just not seeing a goal scoring return to repay my faith!

You're right, he's a proper workhorse. Somethings not right in his game though or he'd be scoring and getting more chances. Him or the set up? Hmmm

[MYU]

I agree. Makes him look even worse though when a sub comes on and scores after 6 minutes.

How many league goals he got? 0 or I could be wrong, but don't remember him scoring.

We know Polter can score as a lone striker and can create his own goals.

It's our system, don't suit any of our players.

Except it suits Polter, Sylla, Chery... If he's a winger, Washington is possibly a good cover player, but he's not a striker for this level.

[nasser95]

he got a tap in

not in the league, that was against Swindon in the Cup.

[skranger]

I'm still hoping he'll come good ,,,,, if JFH starts picking the right formations and perseveres, I hope we will see a revitalised Connor Washington ,,

[corbray]

I think he'd do better for us as an attacking midfield role or supporting role like chery, he hasn't got the physical strength to play as a lone striker but he's good at getting around the pitch and causing a bit of trouble

So does / did Mackie but I wouldn't want him to start on that basis alone!

[LoftusRoadLad]

Well. Many of us asked for him to be given a run in the team. A fair one.

Seems he's had that if I'm not mistaken??

Just not doing it is he? How much did we pay?

dont think Sam recieved anything

[Shepherds Mush]

Personally just think he's not getting the proper service.

Would probably be better with any of:

- ball played over the top / through the defence to run onto
- ball played in low across the 6 yard box
- ball into feet around the box

than ball constantly played up to a lone striker who is shorter than any CB he comes up against.

[Stanley]

This argument has been done to death but I maintain that CW needs a striking partner if he's going to score goals at this level. Playing him as a lone striker is a waste of a position and counter-productive.

[West London is Rss]

Can't understand why we keep playing him as a lone front man to be honest. Again, more baffling team selection...
