Heron Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) He actually failed to put Joelinton through in a similar scenario second half. I wish that had have been Schar too Edited February 26, 2022 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Linton Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Goals haven't come, but he's been an integral part of our upturn in form. No coincidence the midfielders are finding space and form with him in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Interesting to read the Athletic piece with Staveley and Ghodoussi where they talked about not wanting to be held to ransom on players. No mention of the Wood deal though. I get the deal, and still agree with it, but that has to be an example of a cost that changed how clubs viewed our transfer spending.

STM Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He's not worth 25m but he's been worth every penny of the 25m we paid for him (provided we now stay up). In the summer, he won't be sold IMO but he will be a reliable 2nd/3rd choice for another season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Maybe he'll turn out to be a world class defensive mid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was evident to everyone that we needed a striker yesterday and we found one with a release clause. It wasn’t a normal situation. Our need was urgent and we didn’t have to negotiate.

Miercoles Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Should probably have scored today, but we also had a great example of the intangibles he gives the team here. On Joelinton's goal if you watch it back you can see Wood clean out two defenders, which leaves the open space for Joe to attack. Joe then runs into space and only has to deal with one marker who is also on the wrong side of him and trying to catch up, makes it a free header for him. Not sure that's a goal without Wood causing an absolute ruckus in the box, almost an uncredited assist for me. Also probably should have been a foul when he shoves the first defender three yards backwards but hey they never call that shit so whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Said that at the time, drags the defenders into the middle so big Joe can come in at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He'd a bit of a donkey, but he's our donkey and he's sort of contributing to the greater good so we just need to get behind him. He'll be gone next year and we'll have to take a £15m loss on him but hey ho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Another win with him up top. His header in the first half was probably the first time I thought he should be scoring. I do feel like he's playing with a bit of nerves. If he can get that first one soon then I think he'll get 5 before the season is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Big Joe header that scored was with authority. I wish Wood did that and the man is really slow but I feel he is adding something and based on his history can add a goal here and there by seasons end.

madras Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 You dont really get a chance to see it when watching the game but on MotD they had a little montage about Fraser and Joelinton, the Fraser bit, the link up with Wood was relly good and shows a little of what he's doing for the teams all round game. Add goals to it and we are all happy, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Took the attention of two Brentford defenders for Joelintons goal, he’s not necessarily having things go his way but he’s allowing others to thrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 He could go the season for us without scoring, yet still be such an important part of us staying up. I’m willing him to get a goal, hopefully one or two are coming soon. I can’t see it though the way he’s playing and how he just looks in his performances thus far!

Ah but its all about what he brings to the team I hear..............not when its Wood though. 7 unbeaten with Wood in the side, against Brentford he went mighty close....hopefully Brighton is the game but if we win and he doesn't score....no stress!

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 The ball just doesn't stick to him. Think how much Rondon was able to hold it up, for example. He's a mile off. Would've been so, so beneficial today to have someone capable of holding the ball up to give us an outlet and take the pressure off. Dunk and Duffy won nearly everything against him and owt that fell his way required an immediate lay-off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
