TRon Posted Tuesday at 20:58 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:58 Didn't really get any decent crosses to attack but got a couple of efforts in on goal. Put himself about a bit and showed he can get in goal scoring positions if nowt else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted Tuesday at 20:58 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:58 Looked alright I thought. Very in and out of the game. But then so are Isak and Wilson when they play. We don’t get decent service into our striker at all. Decent pace and feet in tight areas. But his touch looked heavy at other times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted Tuesday at 21:00 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:00 Thought he looked quite sharp, his runs in behind looked dangerous. Nice lay off to Gordon, hard to judge against this opposition but he’s got a lot of good attributes. Feels like that height, pace, strength and technical ability would struggle not to be a success Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted Tuesday at 21:15 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:15 Decent 3rd choice striker who can improve and help do some heavy lifting chasing down long balls when we need fresh legs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleftboot Posted Tuesday at 21:20 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:20 Thought he looked visibly upset at the end of the game. Think he was desperate to get a goal tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted Tuesday at 21:37 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:37 Top shithouse. Not sure I can remember a player making more runs in behind only to be ignored 100% of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted Tuesday at 21:38 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:38 He looked both good and a bit raw, he really worked his socks off tonight but his technical ability when it comes to linking up the play or threatening their goal seems to be lacking.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted Tuesday at 21:43 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:43 Thought he was being a bit too disciplined in the first half and just waiting for his moment. Looked better when he started playing quicker and with more intensity towards the end. Always going to be difficult against 10 men camped behind the ball.

Geordie Ahmed Posted Tuesday at 22:15 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:15 There were so many moments where he angled his run and it just needed a ball playing but it never came, the biggest culprit was Kelly, who just wouldn't play that ball, even Schar and Bruno hesitated a few times. I felt sorry for him, understand the hesitation against elite level opposition but surely against a League 2 side those are the kind of passes worth playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted Tuesday at 22:43 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:43 I have high hopes for this kid, he could be a bit of a force in time. Absolutley rapid and very strong. Intelligent off ball movement to get in behind as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilcline Posted Tuesday at 22:51 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:51 (edited) A combination of a young man learning his game and a team not playing to his (potential) strengths tonight. So many times he could have showed to feet and the layoff to midfield to play the through ball would have been on. Assume this was tactical and he was instructed to look to go beyond. And as others have said, no urgency to play him in behind when he did make the run. Disclaimer that we've not really got Isak into games this season either. Looks like he's got something though.

Ben Posted Tuesday at 22:59 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:59 I don't mind him as 3rd choice, it's Wilson as back up that I don't like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think we have anyone with the ability to see those passes unfortunately, add to the fact Isak has been isolated all season the poor kid had no chance tonight.

That's what I thought, got virtually fuck all off the team - a bit like Isak so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted Wednesday at 05:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 05:51 Think we've got a really good player here. Didn't really get chance to show too much but whenever he was active he was really positive and seemed to have that natural instinct to drive towards the goal. A lot of strikers nowadays are quite passive. Loved that little moved where Bruno (I think) played him through and he rolled his defender and got a left footed shot away. Really showed his speed of thought and intelligence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really showed his speed of thought and intelligence. The problem is, he’s 21 and still very raw. He’s obviously going to spend most of this season rooted to the bench as well. Next season we will be left with a choice of letting him be number 2 or buying someone else to do that job which would obviously put pay to any sort of hopes of developing.

Novocastrian Posted Wednesday at 06:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:50 Needs to go out on loan to the Champo once we sort our shit out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted Wednesday at 06:57 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:57 I thought he looked alright. Put it this way, if Isak and Wilson are both unavailable I'd sooner have him up front than putting Gordon in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted Wednesday at 06:58 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:58 Should some promising things, but doesn’t look ready to be the backup to Isak we need. Ideally goes out on loan but not possible with our current squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted Wednesday at 07:04 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:04 It's one game . Where the vast majority of the players that played looked poor and in 1st gear . We've seen games where Isak can look completely isolated with little to no service so even more difficult for an inexperienced player to make an impression. Showed for the ball and did a nice little turn to get in at one point. There's enough there to encouraged by the potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted Wednesday at 07:04 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:04 With his pace and those runs in behind, I think he could be very useful to turn defenders with the right through balls being played to him. If Wimbledon had tried to come forward a bit to push for an equaliser, he'd have been a danger to them given a bit of space to run into. Definitely looks like he's got something in time, and once the rest of the team is firing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Howe will take every chance he's got to develop him tbh. As for rawness, can't say I've seen anything which qualifies that barring the fact we've not had a chance to see his finishing but from what I saw last night, for the most part it was because he was 2-3 steps ahead of his teammates who rarely released the ball quick enough.
