Sho Time Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 its not the goals he's scored, but more some of the chances he has missed. Aye he's missed a couple of sitters but since Rafa came in he seems to have adapted really well and been a great asset for us compared to earlier in the season. I haven't seen the game or the tackle thanks to a horrendous stream but he has been scoring goals despite not starting, has been playing well and offered us a lot. I want to see the tackle first before making any comments about how much of liability he could be, because I know a few people on here seem to go a bit OTT when it comes to slating him for some reason.

The College Dropout Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Do his supporters on here like him because of footballing reasons? I can see the cult appeal about his character but his ability? He hasn't been good enough to lead the line this season. He's done much better than Cameron Jerome who tore it up a couple seasons ago in the Championship but I don't have any real faith in the lads ability to consistently score goals. I don't think he'll have any buyers. I hope he can do well next season. Fantastic header today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 its not the goals he's scored, but more some of the chances he has missed. Yeah but he's still only 21. Strikers that age will miss a lot of chances due to inexperience. It's just a lot of posters are saying get rid (seemingly the same posters who wrote off Townsend straight away), but he could be a huge striker for us next year. As I said, have you seen the sort of players who can score constantly at that level? Mitro is a clearly a step above them. Apart from one or two missed chances I think he's slowly improved over the season. He will be getting a lot more chances next year if he does stay.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Given my confessed love for Mitro, I'm not the best person to defend him. But whilst the tackle was absolutely horrible, I really don't think he tried to kill the opponent with his tackle. Strikers can't tackle for s***. Fully deserved red card, but I mean, it was a poor tackle. The way people are going on it sounds like he was out to f***ing kill the guy. Sorry, but in exactly what situation do any footballers try to kill the other person? I don't think even Ben Thatcher was trying to kill Pedro Mendes, so I'm not sure this argument holds up. It wasn't a poor tackle, it was an obvious, deliberate stamp, which could have broken his leg on the last day of the season before the euros, it was really dangerous and a properly scummy thing to do. Completely indefensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Dunno, from what I saw it looked like he only had eyes for the ball and was trying to plant his left foot to shield it, Walker just got there a tad quicker. The force at which he did it though would be reckless so would agree with the red, although I don't think it was a deliberate stamp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 A couple of his goals were penalties so it's not like he scored all his goals from open play. He has missed more than a couple of chances. He's missed loads. He's given himself 4 games off for the start of next season. I'll leave his future with NUFC up to Rafa.

I (putting emphasis on that just for you KI) don't think it was a deliberate stamp to break his leg like you're making it. But I'm not going to debate it with you as it's just going to turn into an obnoxious dicussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't think it was then you're kidding yourself imo, it was as obvious as it gets. It's a deliberate stamp, in that he was trying to get his body in-between the ball and Walker as quickly as he could, and he misjudged it. It's a blatant red, I just don't think there was any malaise there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It feels like some are viewing the Championship as some sort of semi-pro carry-on league. It's not, obviously. Today's s*** won't pass and the ref thing wouldn't pass anywhere. I was very surprised the ref was so lenient, today. That's quite interesting, as the difference between the level of quality in the prem and the Championship is routinely described as a gulf or chasm It is a chasm, but it's the strikers with pace or clever movement who will tend to give championship defenders more trouble I would have thought, I'm not sure they'll have much problem with someone who's strong and decent in the air. Most championship defenders are okay in that department I'd have thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If he didn't intend to stamp it was probably the slowest reaction ever from a professional footballer I didn't see it as a stamp per se, more of a studs showing straight leg knowing you're getting the other player. Still a terrible tackle, but a stamp for me is the Roy Keane on Gareth Southgate type. Either way it's still indefensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feel it would be mad to bin a physical type like Mitro without trying him.out there. In Rafa we trust, hopefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
