  • I do think Chuks could lose a bit of weight - that's not to say he is fat, just very muscular and needs to become a bit leaner potentially. But wtf do I know anyway..

    Muscle weighs more than fat.

    If he was to become 'leaner', he'd have to lose muscle.
    In Bowyer   our specialist coaches we trust. :smile:

    t. :smile:

    Don’t I know it @Oggy Red 💪
  • Aneke to me looks more like a rugby player. Thus he's not lightning quick off the blocks, but once he gets going is very hard to stop!

    I thought Bonne did well on Saturday. There was a good little piece on MOTD2 last night about how Jamie Vardy's movement creates so much space for his teammates in dangerous positions. Lyle does that brilliantly for us, and while Bonne is nowhere near that level, his movement potentially makes him more useful to the team than say Hemed, even if his all round game isn't there yet.

    (Pedant alert). Nope.  1lb of muscle weighs the same as 1lb of fat.  Muscle is however, more dense than fat.  😀
  • Underwhelmed to say the least.

    Championship club signing someone who was non league last season, but what do u expect under Roland.

    I may be wrong and he may be class, but just because he scored goals at non league, doesnt mean he will smash them in at Championship level.

    No doubt him and Lyle will be our only 2 strikers next season as well.


    Really hope I am wrong

    He hasnt played much but I am already happy to eat Humble Pie.

    Early signs show he is Championship ready and I was wrong to be underwhelmed
    League one, at best
  • OK first half. Barely touched the ball second half.

  • Out of his depth but can't fault his effort and commitment , he's just not good enough atm
    the jump is too big and he needs a season in league one/two to improve 


  • Still felt he held the ball up well tonight. Didn't get much service and was often the target of lumped long balls. He's not that type of player and is up against bigger defenders. Win more headers than he probably should have.
  • Paulie arguing with himself a few posts up tells you all you need to know - reserve judgement. Doing his best to be a nuisance, wins a few headers, showed a few nice touches - in the first half tonight there was an excellent turn followed by nearly playing in Leko with a nutmeg pass. He was a thorn in Leeds' side on Saturday. He ain't Taylor and not everything is coming off for him, but he's two starts into his Football League. Just everyone have a bit of patience FFS.

    Arguing with myself?????

    I was admitting I was wrong in my comment from when he 1st signed

    Hardly arguing with myself
  • Thought he did ok personally.
  • Was poor very poor we are playing him way before we intended too 
  • I'm not writing him off but he does look well off the pace for me. I'm not talking physically. His touch is slow and his timing of heading to win the ball from a goal kicks and crosses is poor. 
    The ball gets stuck at his feet and I've seen very little guile in and around the box.

    This is a huge step up for him and still very early days. I trust Gallen and Bowyer implicitly.
    Just hope he can make the jump.

  • Big step up for him but I've seen far worse strikers play for us. Think he'll be a a decent squad player this season 
  • The thing about Taylor, is that not only is he really good, he makes the players around him better. Either Leko or Bonne would looks so much better alongside Taylor, dragging the defenders around and generally bullying them.

    Bonne is a 4th choice striker, it's unfortunate that Hemed is injured/unfit as well as Lyle. All along I've felt that we have too many loan midfielders, I'd happily lose one in January and bring in another attacking option.

    Taylor also creates his own opportunities, which none of our other strikers do. 
  • His passing isn’t up to scratch for this level , his general play isn’t 
    it’s too big a jump for him , for now at least 
    we’d all love him to be the oppo centre forward in every game 
    there’s no real threat from him 

    Of course it’s early days and he may well (fingers crossed ) become mustard but not seen anything to get even the remotest excited about him as a prospect .

    Maybe we shouldn’t be allowed to pass a negative opinion until their ten games in , all positive  opinions welcome though 
  • He’s alright and will score goals here and there. About the best we could hope for given the budget we have to play with.
    This plus with taylor and hemed injured given the owner won’t spend as the cloob is up for sale he will do

    Criticism is fine - comments like "clearly out of his depth" are writing him off when he's barely played.

    I think people are saying that at this moment in time he’s not up to scratch , that’s not to say he won’t get there in time but for now he’s a no for some .
  • Had no service and doubt we will face two better CBs in this division. Harsh to judge on his 2nd start.

    He created some nice flick ons tonight but Leko wasn't on his wavelength.
