Oteh

[Ginger Ninja]

am well chuffed for the lad, along with the rest of the team and the win today.

well done oteh. lets hope he keeps his starting place for the next few games.

Fully agree, great stuff.

Good to see the boy get on the scoresheet.

It is nice to see youngsters coming through again, been too long since likes of Langley, Quashie etc.

Think Smith has 3 assists too

Regardless, as a whole our strikers just haven't been good enough. We need firepower and desperately. Hoping Smyth/Oteh/Eze step up.

What stood out to me sitting there on Saturday was MK scouts have probably watched us a couple of times only if that and they already had us figured out.

After first 15 mins they sat back and went narrow and watched us run out of ideas. Allowed Cousins and in particular Bidwell all the space that they wanted because they knew he would do nothing with it. He’s a full back not a winger. He can overlap and put in a (often poor) cross but he cant take anyone on and neither can Cousins.

If MK can see that having hardly seen us I cant understand why Olly cant!!

Perfect summary of the season-long problem.

Same number of minutes and Smith has 2 goals, that by definition means Smith has done better.

According to the BBC, Smith and Sylla have played the same number of minutes (913) !!? Sounds about right TBF.

Thing is though I'm pretty sure Smith has started less games than Sylla and has 2 more goals, yet is still considered (rightly imo) shite. So surely Sylla would be in the same bracket? All opinions of course at the end of the day.
And I agree, Sylla should have started far more games than Mackie or Washington.

But we do know that he scores more per game than the others.
Had he started as many as the Grumps have he would be in double figures by now.

[stanistheman]

My point was Sylla is shite just like all our strikers. We genuinely don't have anyone we know for sure can replace him and do better.

Cannot understand why you wouldnt play him

Because the plonker picks the team.

[stanistheman]

Agree perfect opportunity missed to move away from a failing system. Especially as he was playing a strong team.

I seem to recall Holloway saying in pre season that he would be playing a certain way and in time clubs would work it out, but he would stick with it anyway��

[Ginger Ninja]

Yes, both of you are correct in that.
I doubt that Holloway rarely improves players under his charge.

[stanistheman]

Along with various others. Far more players have gone backwards under Wollie than improved.

Lost all his confidence...therefore becoming shite. I didn't specify who's fault it is, Ollie is to blame imo.
