Anyone else feel the same?
He’s been a little frustrating to watch since his explosive few early displays
Don’t get me wrong he always does something to excite
But generally his effectiveness and end product makes you question his place in the team
But he cut into Sunderland a lot yesterday and caused them issues, and watching the extended highlights he was far more effective and set up multiple chances.. with Celina not hitting a great one clean enough |  |

His debut at Cheltenham seems a lifetime ago. I fear we’ll always be talking about his lack of end product. |  |

I’d stick with him there and Chaplin in the middle.
Celina can’t hold the left… always wanting to drift into the centre. |  |

He was alright yesterday I thought, not as good as Wycombe where he was really good, but better than anyone taking Brenner and Mathie at face value would have thought.
His ability to carry the ball at pace and beat a defender in either side pushes play back towards the opposition goal and he works hard off the ball. We lost something when him and Celina went off and with Aluko tiring in the last 20 minutes yesterday. |  |

Can Celina play right? Probably not.
Aluko was doing some good stuff yesterday but needed more options [Post edited 21 Nov 2021 21:06]

From what I saw of the highlights, he seemed to be cutting more inside to create chances for himself which I assume is something they’re working on a bit more. Cook said they were trying to get him to work on his finishing so assume this is a result of that. |  |

Watching the extended highlights and looking back on the full game itself I think it was probably better than alright… but still more he can do
What did you think of Clements at Sunderland?
I think people are being over critical - yes he got owned 2 or 3 times - but I thought he did OK, got wide and was quite solid | |

Definitely trying to hit the D more, he seemed better at holding the ball under challenge
Shame that Sunderland were sitting so deep and loading their box, it negated Bonne
I think opposition teams will now be expecting Edwards to come inside so may be able to hit the byline
Celina and Aluko need to be in the box more to convert the low balls in | |

For all the talk on here this weekend, we are creating very decent chances against sides who put men behind the ball. It’s become more difficult for sure but we’re still finding ways to break them down, which is encouraging. Last two games could have and should have been a different story. We’re not getting the cliched rub of the green at the moment and haven’t been all season in truth but that’s largely irrelevant as we have to start delivering. | |

Yeah we should have 5 points more from the last two games, since the excellent Wycombe display
But yeah rub of the green doesn’t get us very far
At least we’ve not thrown those 5 points in the self destruct manner of the early season
They are clearly working on new patterns on the training ground, and I’m hoping we land on the right attacking 3 on Tuesday
Rotherham I think will also sit deep and be cautious so we’ll have to come up with something
One valid criticism of cook and the players against Oxford and Sunderland was energy and more tempo in the passing… we need to crank it up | |

Agreed. I’d like to see us play with a slightly higher tempo, we have the players with all the right attributes. We also have all the pieces of the puzzle, it’s just about getting it right on the night. As I’ve said in other threads, I’d actually use Edwards and Fraser from the bench on Tuesday. It’s going to be a tight game and their running when Rotherham begin to tire will be key for me.
I’d start with Celina on the left and Chaplin as the 10 and bring Celina off for Edwards late on and Fraser for Chaplin but get Fraser breaking from deeper as another 8 if we’re not having any joy.
If we’re still struggling I’d then tweak it and bring KVY on and just cheat the last ten minutes. Keep our wide players pinned high and bomb the full backs on into the inside channels. Have to win. I really think it’s a pivotal game Tuesday night. | |

Clements looked like a kid playing his third match in a week at times, he was caught out positionally so many times although still looked tidy on the ball going forward.
He's shown enough to be an option for the rest of the season but we shouldn't be having him play twice a week at the moment. I think he might get bullied tomorrow too. | |

I didn't think he offered anything going forwards at all - the players looked visibly uncomfortable giving him the ball during the second half. I lost count of the times Morsy checked back inside rather than playing out to Clements in space.
He did ok and he did ok against Oxford, nothing more and nothing less. He is not a long term option at LB. It's strange that we have so many full backs but still none that Cook seems really happy with. Donacien is lauded by our fanbase at the moment and he's a fantastic one v one defender but his attacking deficiencies stood out like a sore thumb on Saturday. |  | | |

He was our most effective attacking player I thought.
Whilst he was on the pitch we created 5 decent openings. One is him creating a shooting opportunity on his own, two are his key passes, one is him winning the ball back, allowing the ball to be recycled out for the assist.
After he went off we created very little. |  |
