Celina 11:42 - Mar 2 with 726 views | Garv | Anyone else puzzled that he doesn't start every game? Even accounting for the rotation tactic applied by McKenna, which I understand, he should be the first attacking player on the team sheet. I'd almost go as far to say he should play every minute when fit, but not quite. Having watched back the game on Saturday the difference after he came on was ridiculous. Did we bother trying to down the right side after he came on? We basically gave him the ball at every opportunity, rightly so. A better wing back going on the outside might have won us that game (this is as big an issue as anything else at the moment). He hasn't lit up the league like we all expected, probably for various reasons. He should score more goals and have more shots on target, but in terms of assists if strikers aren't putting away chances he's creating, there isn't a whole lot he can do. He would have had 4/5 assists across the last few games had Jackson, Bonne and Norwood been able to finish properly. | |

Chaplin is the perfect foil for either of them because of his energy and his finishing, whereas Celina and Aluko are more languid and creative outside the box. Worth bearing in mind that the defenders were tired when Celina came on on Saturday too, although I do agree he’s the best we’ve got by a distance. | |

Celina on 16:12 - Mar 2 with 402 views | Chocorange | Totally agree with this, made a big difference at Morecambe. A look back at the Cheltenham game as well and he was involved in most of the better chances created there too and would have scored had Pigott left it for him in the second half. Also scored vs Burton , He may have not been fit at the start of the season but he’s different class to league 1 players ( watch most games and you can see him and Morsy look for each other when attacking , they appreciate each other’s skill) He’s back to his best now, we have little room for error with the points we need and he should be starting every game! | | | |
