Sone Aluko has to start against MK on 14:06 - Feb 9 by jayessess | It's not popular because Pigott's shown nothing in an Ipswich shirt and Bonne's done more than him even in his lean goalscoring patch. It's a cliche, but you worry when your strikers aren't getting chances, not when they miss a few. |
1 tap in in 14 suggests Bonne is not cutting it at the moment for whatever reason. Has Piggot been given a decent run. He has been written off the same as Fraser was but both are very good players at this level. For Piggot not to even be in the 18 is criminal. |  | |  |

1 goal, 2 assists, a few more key involvements in important goals (Wycombe, the 1st at Gillingham, Doncaster) since McKenna's come in. He's making plenty of contributions, even without goals. Pigott's had 11 starts for us, including 4 out of 5 games at the beginning of the season, many starts against very poor teams. plus 7 more decent cameos. You get an extended run in the team because you earn it and he hasn't. No-one is going to give you 3 games to get warmed up. [Post edited 9 Feb 2022 14:29]

This is definitely what Pep would do, underlapping centre-backs, inverted inside forwards, Chaplin in a false nine with Aluko and Celina in the mix, Lee Evans in the Rodri role and Morsy as Bernardo Silva. |  | |  |

I mean, there is a very good possible reason that was publicised a few weeks ago re his personal life. Without speculating too much, he's not the same player he was 3/4 months ago at the moment and he does seem to have been taken out of the spotlight somewhat by the club in terms of interviews etc too. Let's cut him some slack and get behind him, he's one of us and for me still our best centre forward. |  | |  |

You call his missed header an assist last night I would call that a missed chance. |  | |  |

No, I said he was involved in the goal (the assists were the 2nd at Gillingham and the 2nd against Wimbledon). It's good movement to get on the end of Chaplin's header and if you're getting a shot on goal that the keeper can't save in a controlled way then you're making a contribution to our attacking play. It's all useful for the team, just like tap ins are. You were there, you read the play, you put it in the net, even if there was no skill in the final touch. |  |

Sone Aluko has to start against MK on 13:54 - Feb 9 by DinDjarin | But he didnt take any of the 3 easy chances and for me is so out of form he should not be in the starting 11. Personally I would play Piggot but guess thats not a popular decision. |
err i was talking about celina. |  |

Sone Aluko has to start against MK on 12:44 - Feb 9 by clive_baker | He's lovely to watch, so good on the ball and his decision making is excellent. Brings that calmness and bit of experience to things, technically really good, he's been a very good addition. It's obvious watching him that it's a guy who has spent his whole career at a better level than this, quite significantly better for a part of it in the not too distant past. I think the fact he's 32 and seen as a bit of a journeyman skews peoples opinion a little. The fact is while time isn't perhaps on his side football wise, his contribution has been excellent when called upon. If he was called Andre Dozzell people would be creaming themselves over some of the performances. |
"If he was called Andre Dozzell people would be creaming themselves over some of the performances" They'd probably also be asking "what are the chances of that, we've just sold a player with exactly the same name!" |  |

The idea that Aluko's had a harder ride than Dozzell amongst our supporters is ... quite something. |  |

Sone Aluko has to start against MK on 17:22 - Feb 9 with 268 views | C_Jam_Blue | Kind of agree, he is such a smart and experienced player, he does help knit midfield and attack together better than anyone. But all 3 Celina, Aluko and Chaplin have their strengths. Chaplin works so hard for the team and is chipping in with goals, handy when the strikers are not prolific. Celina has such ability that can turn a tight game. Good position for KMc to have, he can lay the combination for the kind of game he expects. I don't think we will have as much of the ball against MK Dons as we have in the past 3 games so I would have Celina for his brilliance and Aluko as he uses the ball so well and does not often lose it or misplace a pass. |  | |  |
