BoSelecta Posted Monday at 16:30 Share Posted Monday at 16:30 Played a square ball against Brentford I think which cost us a goal which I feel could be an indicator as to his lack of minutes. Murphy did 2 on Sunday before he was hooked (one leading to the goal & the other a schar yellow card). Really excited to see what Osula can do next year.

The amount of times we needed a goal to get back in a game or to tip the balance we've not used his assets. I know he (Gordon) is our outlet, but it was a case of Jack Jogback yesterday. Everton would have the ball around our box, and you'd see him enter the picture trotting back over the halfway line.

Which was exactly what was needed against a packed defence. Having some pace also added to his threat, at least he gave the Everton defenders something to worry about.

Holmesy Posted Wednesday at 10:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:47 I know we don't like to question Eddie on this forum but seeing Wilson lumbering about the pitch doing fuck all while this guy sits on the bench is very questionable. Every time he comes on he makes something happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a fair way short - I would send him on loan to a second or third tier club next season and see if the lad can kick on. He can’t be backup to Isak next season.

He's scored really good goals (in the cup and the league), created chances, and scared Everton's defence more in 5 minutes than the rest of the team did in 90. He came to us from the Championship because he wanted to step up. I can't see him being happy going back there on loan, and rightly so. I'm not suggesting he should be starting but he should be getting a lot more minutes than he is based on the glimpses we've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be silly, second or third tier He just needs some more coaching from Howe and internalise the game plan more. He's meant to be part of a 3 striker rotation I'm sure, not direct backup to Isak. He was never signed to be second choice straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy with Howe coaching him of course, but I don’t see that the lad would be harmed by six months dropping a division. He can’t be backup next season, we need a better second striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted Wednesday at 23:11 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:11 Some people just don't like the lad it seems. To say he's shown nothing when he's played is absolute bollocks. Wilson reminds me of cisse before he left he was finished couldn't do the job he was asked to do properly which in turn hurts us as an effective way to score goals. We have a very hesitant manager in trusting youth to do a job better than his trusted lot who make errors all the time but still play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted yesterday at 05:01 Share Posted yesterday at 05:01 I think he’s definitely shown flashes and looks like he could be a player so I think it’s unfair to say he’s useless etc. he certainly looked lively when he came on against Everton. He’s fast, strong, quick turns, must be very difficult to play against. If we’re relying on him as a backup option we’re knackered though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to the required levels we would’ve needed, but would’ve been a better option than Wilson due to the pace / physical threat, and the bit of unknown that makes CBs think twice. As season has gone on, it’s been made clear to me that Howe sees him as a winger anyway, so we will sign a ST. Then it’s Osula / New RW, with Murphy eventually a back up RB / RWB as the squad evolves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
