Gallowgate Toon Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 It's getting to the point where I actually don't like him which isn't even his fault. Should've become bench fodder 6 games ago, even just to give him a kick up the arse. Was an advocate for 4-2-3-1 against Wolves but I think I'd rather see him benched.

HaydnNUFC Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Hasn't played well since his brace v Villa. That was in October. From here on in he should not be starting games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Doesn’t bring anything to the table in this form. He looks so slow and weak and reluctant to attack the ball. There’s no reason he should be in the team ahead of Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 So do yous think his injuries over the years have finally caught up to him? Or just poor form confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 He was absolutely ragdolled, then missed yet another sitter. Isak must be wondering what he has to do to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 He still does some alright stuff in general, but obviously that miss was horrific. We really need to build our whole team around Isak and Bruno, may as well get started now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Just about his longest spell uninjured has coincided with his longest spell of being utterly useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any striker will go through a spell where he is missing chances so I'm not going to judge on that yet. But he's too easy to mark out of a game at the moment, if he's not scoring goals, he's not doing much else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Is it true he's not even able to train properly anymore? Injuries probably caught up with him now. Looks shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverThere Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Played like dogshit today and has for a while. Honestly Isak must be terrible in training to not get a start. Edited March 4, 2023 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this even mean? Wilson is slow and out of form. The team looked better when Isak came on and he had at least a yard more pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Howe held Guimaraes and Botman back initially. We have to hope he's getting the Isak call as spot on as he did with those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to hope he's getting the Isak call as spot on as he did with those two. The context is vastly different imo. With Bruno, we were deep in the relegation mire and a player coming in from abroad in January may have taken time to adjust. On top of that, our form picked up immensely without Bruno in the team anyway, we won 6 games in 7 before he got his first start away at Southampton. Botman has only not started 3 games this season. Isak has been back from injury since 2nd January but has only started 2 league matches since. We made him our record signing in the summer to help us score goals, we've been struggling to score goals for a while now but we're persisting with starting a vastly out of form striker. It doesn't make sense now, especially if Wilson starts ahead of Isak again next week. Edited March 4, 2023 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Home at home header from 10yds from a Trippier cross) and today (8yds out from a Trippier centre) for starters. Need to move on from him, unlikely to ever get us double figures in a season.

SiLvOR Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Think he's done with us, unfortunately. Always liked him, but it's clear that we need a massive upgrade in the summer, and I doubt he'll be happy bring 3rd choice. Hope I'm wrong, but it's not looking likely. Whatever happens, he has to be benched for his own sake for the next game at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
