Even when he was put out onto the wing he was still just being ushered down blind alleys by a forward playing at full back. What support did he have when he got the ball to feet or was he expected to hold it up with a couple of men closing him down? Point being if you lump balls up top aimlessly, don't have a go at the striker who isn't a target man. If hes missing golden chances week in week out then slag him off. Be plenty of teams he would bag for in this division if they played to his strengths. Never getting probably more than 12 a season but he'd do better if he was given a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never getting probably more than 12 a season but he'd do better if he was given a chance I'd be gladly proven wrong but I've seen nothing to suggest he's anything other than a poor striker who to his credit does run himself into the ground. Nothing against the guy - he works hard and clearly cares but he shouldn't have been signed in the first place and he shouldn't be starting every week now (whether in a front 1, 2 or 3).

Bang on, it's a poor team full of non league players, debating the merits of where or how to play them is frivolous given that three quarters of them are lucky to be being paid as professional footballers in the football league.

That's not to say he may not get back to better ways in a new environment. It made me laugh at Fleetwood - he had an absolute shocker (like most) but a group of our fans were applauding him towards the end when he was stood in front of them taking a throw. In my opinion, you don't applaud a terrible showing (nor do you boo it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was ridiculous the amount of times on Saturday that he had to drop deep into midfield to get hold of the ball and then being asked to pass the ball like a midfielder to hiding/out of position players around him. Thus leading to him passing it away. Even the most prolific striker would be struggling to score with these tactics of lump it to the little guy and then watch him swim into midfield and try and effect the game. For me, the jury is completely out on both Desire and Wilson with the lack of support they get. And playing 1 upfront for 86 minutes was a joke too.

In my opinion, you don't applaud a terrible showing (nor do you boo it). Totally agree with this. Only thing I'd add is I feel he's shown slightly better fare at CB than RB this season. But he wouldn't get in above Wheater and Stott so he'd be benched and Mills given a run at RB, in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino says Akpo is different to these two and s a target man. So logically, either Wilson or Segbe should be played alongside him. We will see if that happens.

I've no clue as to whether this is right but I strongly suspect it is. I just can't get my head round why you give any credence to the people who put the team in this position through their appalling recruitment.

Another one who isn’t happy unless you’ve diverted every topic on OWTB back to your favourite discussion???
