I like Freddie and he has lots of shots from 15 to 20 yards. We all know, if you don't shoot, you don't score. However, only a very small proportion genuinely test the keeper. I can't fault his workrate. He gets into great positions and his 11 goals is not a bad return so far. I just get frustrated by how many times he scuffs or drags a shot wide or dribbles one for a very routine take by the keeper. |  |

With each game you can more and more why freddie is a perfect partner in a 2.
He links well. He presses well. He stretches defenders and hes general hold up is quite good. He's one who will pop up with a few goals aswell. But he's one imo that needs to be able to get on with his Job whilst there's a more clinical partner with him. |  |

I was thinking that, but also about various others too - Jackson's much the same, and Morsy twice yesterday bobbling huge chances gently through to the keeper was disappointing. We need Burns, Chaplin and Humphreys to lay on some lessons about how to hit a thunderb*stard. |  | | |

Which is why he's surrounded by Chaplin, Harness and Burns, with Morsy just behind. A three or four is better than a two, which is why we're the leading goalscorers in the division. |  |

Morsy has outrageously poor shooting technique for such a good player. |  | | |

Leading scorers is great but means nothing when a High number of those goals spread across a few games. Leaving the goals scored across the others as ok but not amazing.
It would be very interesting to see how we do with a freddie and partner combo imo. | |

Almost like he's been playing a deep midfield role all his career... | |

Morsy’s shot just before half time was hugely disappointing. Chose the wrong side and didn’t get any real power in it. |  |

Tho that's not actually the case. We haven't hit teams for five or six (in the League), thus artificially skewing the tally. We've only scored four on one occasion.
I don't think it's a matter of Ladapo having a partner (agree he works better with others than as a traditional lone striker), so much as having a roster of several colleagues working in and around the box alongside him. More options with two or three partners (the way we currently do things) than just the one, with others relegated to feeding and crossing. | |

Never never do you see him faint to shoot and lay it short to someone in a better position, very greedy, you don't need to teach class players to do this.. |  | | |

I actually thought yesterday was one of the best showings I'd seen from him, but one moment in the first half summed up the problem pretty well, when he got the ball in the box with back to goal and held it up brilliantly for what seemed like ages...but didn't seem to be looking for anyone, decided to try to turn and do it himself, and immediately took a terrible touch straight to the defence. | | | |

I dunno Guthrum. A fair few 3s across a few games to go with the 4.
Of course that's football. But I don't think this top scorer thing backs up anything personally as despite being top scorers we've dropped 15 points from winning positions. Maybe having 2 up top towards the end of games might give us more wins.... that's more the point.
As said yesterday I don't think we need to start with 2 up top. But we shouldn't be taking ladapo off to bring 1 striker on imo. | |

Indeed there was a couple of instances where he took fairly tame shots whilst teammates were better positioned and begging for him to square it. Great at what he does in terms of hold up play but perhaps not the best footballing brain. I wonder if this is where Broadhead could make the difference. | | | |

'Tame'. That's a great word to describe them. | |

He was really unlucky in the first half as his strength did all the work, then he connects with the edge of his studs as the ball got away from him and the shot was fairly bobbly.
Was easy after to say he should have passed to Burns but you'd expect your 9 to force at least a save there most times.
I do think that first decision not to book Scarr was crucial. It greenlighted that they could manhandle and we saw that when Chaplin was stopped by arms around his chest. Put one of those defenders on a booking and our strikers are getting free rein to bear down on goal all game.
We looked uncharacteristically nervous through the spine and maybe that radiated from Walton with the emotions of chasing his boyhood club factoring in, maybe he just had a bad day, but it felt like we needed something to go right to get our belief. |  |
