Shez was our best player when he could barely even walk. What matters is being in the right place at the right time, and he's doing better at that than most. He's the best of a bad bunch.

He never wins a header and most of the time can't be arsed running. So out of all the total shit on the pitch, you have to pick on the one bright spark of the last 12 months. Really? FFS. I can think of at least 18-22 others who deserve to be singled out. Let's take the kids out of it. Who do you think is more deserving of praise this season, or last?

Paul Warne chasing down balls into the channels doesn't generate quite the same level of excitement. Bahamboula is a bright spark on a very dull pitch (quite literally!). It's up to the manager to work out how his faults are absorbed by the system as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I’m sitting on the fence with Bahamboula. Yes he’s one of the first names on the team sheet and one of the few who excites me. In fact the only one. However given his talent we need to see more from him both in effort and overall contribution to games. Take the game by the scruff of the neck and don’t go missing as much.

I sort of agree that he needs to make a bigger overall contribution to games other than a few memorable moments and bits of skill. However as some have said he's the best we have of a bad bunch currently. There is probably a good reason why better assessors of the game than me haven't offered him a contract at a higher level, and maybe workrate off the ball as one of them. Also it's pretty tough to win games on your own....unless your Ronaldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get frustrated by his body language at times and in a relegation battle he needs to work harder. It’s as simple as that. Working harder shouldn’t detract from his contribution going forward either.

I do wonder if Bam has the fitness levels of a professional player.. After about 30 minutes VS Steveange he was noticeably slower for a time and slowed right down as he tracked back. Defo seemed to be getting his wind back. Taking players on like he does probably wears you out quicker than one touch pass and move but as he's our most (only) attacking threat I can understand him wearing down a bit and i'm not convinced this team as a whole are particularly fit. I missed Walsall thanks to First bus being inept but it's disappointing to read the comments and loose how we did. Need another away win and hope that can prop up our dire home form.

Surely there are EFL standards for lighting levels, or maybe they dont care either? I'm sure B&Q sell lightbulbs and stepladders!

BP1960 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Perhaps the club might be forced to play matches on Tuesday afternoons like in the olden days before floodlights. I saw a few of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 FFS…it’s a few bulbs we’re talking about here!! All these staff positions becoming vacant, including the Evans resignation, Diarra & Jameson not in a squad that has no defenders, floodlight bulbs not being replaced and Blitz’s appearance at the last home game seems strange!

I wasn't at the game and watched it on Ifollow the next day. I think the problem is the floodlights just aren't bright enough. If they were better the LED boards wouldn't be so bad. On Ifollow it was difficult to see the ball sometimes on the fa side of the ground. Even Mikey commented about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After about 60 minutes he visably tires which seems evident from little tricks etc not coming off, poor passes and unable to keep the ball. Having said that I wouldn't accuse him of not trying and he would be my first name on the team sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
