Aluko 13:43 - Oct 26 with 3008 viewsGeoffSentence

What now for him? I love seeing him turn with the ball and run with it, but since his injury we haven't really missed him. Edwards has slotted in nicely, Humphreys is coming through and Camara is not too far away from fitness. Unless we pick up more injuries in midfield I cannot see him getting too much game time when he returns.

Except Aluko's hold up play is crucial to us comfortably seeing out games and I would argue that is something we very much have missed.

He's got the ability to hold the ball up in tight areas that I don't think our other 10s can do as well. We'll also be lucky to go the full season without Chappers, Harness, TJJ or Edwards picking up an injury. Given McKenna's preference for swapping out the starting 3 during the final 30 minutes of the a match I think Aluko will still have a role to play in the second half of the season (assuming he can return to full fitness)

I disagree. If we had him to come on against Sheffield Wednesday at 2-0 up on 75 minutes, we'd have kept the ball far better and would be two points better off.

Likewise, Plymouth. We may well have salvaged a point.

Those early games in which Aluko came in in the 70th minute were the best for game management and possession we've had all season.

We’ve seen this before though haven’t we? Player A gets injured, fans say we will miss him but we manage without them as Player B/C/D steps up, so it seems they won’t get game time when they’re fit. We still have 30 games, plus at least 2 more cup games to play, we will need Aluko when he’s fit, and he will get time in the same way he did before his injury, some starts and some subs but not every game - and we will get injuries and suspensions,

Not sure about that, there have been games were we could have done with his calmness and ability to retain possession. Wednesday and Plymouth stand out as examples where a cool head to stop the opposition gaining momentum would have been handy.

Will be interesting to see what the 18 looks like mind when we have the likes of Aluko, Leigh, Camara and Ahadme all fit.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

We actually do really miss him.

As said last night. We made 3 attacking subs. Not one of them is actually that good at holding the ball up. Getting Aluko back will be a big plus.

Quality player that adds a huge amount to the team overall. I see him playing an important part, even if just from the bench, once he's back from injury.

There will be other injuries to other members of the squad, and Aluko will play his part.

If and when he is fit, he'll get plenty of minutes as will all our first teamers. They are all needed. We have a good squad but we are already pretty much on the limit with a handful of injuries.

Even with everyone fit and in form I think Aluko gets minutes. He's a bit different to anything we have and that is a big plus. Really hope the injury doesn't set him back so he has at least another good 1 and a bit sit seasons in him.

As long as McKenna keeps changing the front 3 every single game, he will be crucial.

Pretty much dissagree entirely, Aluko's hold up play would have made a fair few games feel a lot more comfortable late on, something i'm almost certain of.

We really do miss him.

Aluko on the pitch in injury time yesterday. An Ipswich win.

I agree. Experienced forward player who keeps calm under pressure. Bring him on with twenty minutes left if in front or need a goal. He can provide multiple functions.
