He said Eddie had him working on it straight away. Burn used to be crap in the air as well Edited September 28, 2025 by relámpago blanco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Great feet but looks slower across the ground than I expected. Going to need runners around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 I was going to come on here before the goal and say I feel sorry for him as the 5 behind him haven't really offered much at all in the way of support But fair play, class header. Definitely think the midfield needs to step up if it's going to end up in a winning effort though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Doesn't seem to challenge for headers if he feels he can't get it. Just tries to obstruct his marker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 good goal but needs to do some upper body stuff I think. Lost 8/8 duels so far, not that he's had much support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 His hold up play is fantastic,albeit its normally coming 15-25 yards deeper than we need it. As long as we have other players bombing ahead in lieu it can work. Love his no nonsense attitude and when he is up to Howe conditioning he is going to be like taller slower Gordon all over the place. Doesn't score with his head though.

Amir_9 Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Don't have any concerns about him being able to cut it in this league but it's clear that our game will need to work around him when Wissa isn't available Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 He's done well enough, great feet and a couple of goals. I don't think he's the problem, none of our players seem to know how to work off him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissmag Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Really like the lad. But it‘s quite obvious that lacks fitness (can not really cope up with our pressing so far) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it‘s quite obvious that lacks fitness (can not really cope up with our pressing so far) While true that he's still getting fit, I think the change in intensity for our press has been intentional. The only games we've tried the full press has been Liverpool and Barca at home. Even then, we only did it for a short bit and didn't really revert to it.

Andy Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 He'll be far more useful on the ground in games where we're on the front foot. He stands basically no chance when he's parked on the halfway line for the majority of the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Honestly I'm very happy he's got 2 goals in the league because any other striker would struggle for some chances, look at his heat map for example Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost 8/8 duels so far, not that he's had much support. The aimless knocks long to him are grating me. It’s clear he’s not that type of striker, yet we keep doing it. He obviously needs to improve that side as it’s an outlet needed at times, but we need to help things by not keep doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Class header. He did pretty well in general play, we just again didn't really have a setup to get people in & around or beyond him with any consistency. Felt he came deeper less today than others to give an option to the defence but we probably needed it more than ever? We really struggled to get any moves going.
