Richey Edwards Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I was having Vietnam flashbacks of the Talbot game and having kittens about how badly we were playing until our goal went in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 3 hours ago, No_Problemo said: I think anyone who thought Bangala was okay was very much looking for it - he made a few very basic passes under no pressure but outside that - he gave the ball away, didn’t break up play and just looked generally clumsy. He wasn’t any worse than Reading or JML though - very disappointed in both. If you’re being generous you can point to the fact he was far from the only one who was “unconvincing” last night. I think most of us are desperate for him to do well after all the build up to him getting here, which is probably why we’re all trying not to write him off but it’s fair to say I wouldn’t be confident him playing a league game in midfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Bangala looked like a deer stuck in headlights a lot of the time last night. Cant believe we waited and waited and hyped him up and hes been reduced to a few unconvincing appearances so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the way it goes sometimes, on the flip side Dipo was written off by many after our League Cup campaign and quite a few thought he'd struggle to score goals at Championship level and would not reach anything like Tomi's total but just look how that's turned out !! Kirk has also been a huge find and in fairness virtually all of our new signings have either met or exceeded most of our expectations with the exception of Bangala, so we probably can't complain too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 There was one point where Bangala was standing directly in front of McAllister about four yards away able to take the ball off him. McAllister must’ve hummed and hawed for a few seconds before deciding to just launch it up the pitch. Either they have no faith in him or McAllisters decision making is appalling. I’d loan Bangala out and bring someone else in. Failing that, recall Mikey Hewitt and give him a shot. He showed more in a few games last season before his injury to warrant a start over Bangala. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Also heard last night we are expecting Kirk back from Arsenal in January, so might not be the 3 months as first feared. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Would Bangala's work permit allow him to go out on loan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really could get worse tbh… Houston was actually coming on to a bit of a game pre injury, so hopefully that continues on Saturday. Reading is a far bigger problem at the moment IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston has been fine for the most part.

Next couple of games I'd go Mullin Chalmers Akinyemi and McKenzie as the front 4 if fit. An absolute must 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m perhaps being harsh but I’m not convinced by JML so far to be honest. Hoping he comes good and is an upgrade on Gondoh by a distance but I’ve been disappointed by him after my initial excitement when he first signed.

rb123! Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 We appear to be playing Dundee United at Tannadice in a friendly on 10th December (challenge cup weekend) Also who the feck voted for McGinty as man of the match last night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dempsey for me as he scored the winner and strolled the second half but McGinty was really vocal as well and spent half his time telling McAllister and Reading where they had to be. He had a good game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has been anti McKenzie playing I genuinely think he is now our best option to play off Dipo - holds the ball up well, and does some excellent work in the wide areas too. It is very strange as he was utter pish when played out wide but when he is able to drift over to either flank can help create.
