The thing that Davis is way better at than the others is receiving the ball and holding it up. Unfortunately, with our current way of playing he is frequently isolated and so we don’t make the most of that skill. We need to find a way of getting players closer to him or running beyond him.
Davis is situationally excellent. That situation being when the ball is exactly where he wants it. Other than that he lacks the aggression or determination to get to a loose ball ahead of a defender. Worst of all is that despite being an absolute mountain of a bloke, he's utterly incapable of winning a header, which is the most important thing for a centre forward in this league
Got to admit that in the first half it looked like we were playing 424 as we often didn't have bodies in midfield. Maybe the tactics were to sit much deeper but at times we looked overloaded and gave them lots of space in the middle of the park.? It changed when asprilla came on for bacuna so that could explain it.? I get fed up with commentators going on about "big penalty calls" tho, we had one with Davis but then the comm' said they also had a big call.... Like hell - it was nowhere near a penalty... Ball smashed to hand by his body... Laughable..
Always remember Comms' will be biased for the home side. Mooney can talk out of his rear all game about random rubbish at times, but John Marks is an excellent commentator, and thankfully one we get to hear most of the time. Also it's pretty funny hearing other teams comms' trying to say our players' names. I think I heard about three variaitions on Kabasele.
The stadium announcer was having real problems with our players names too. Although I did quite like his style of presentation. I liked the stadium, all the locals we bumped into were friendly including their terrier mascot, plus the right result. All in all it was a good day out.
Sarr is often double teamed which allows an overload elsewhere and JP is excellent in taking advantage of this
I'd like to give a shoutout to Ken Sema. Our corners in the last few games have been soooo much better than in the past and it's largely down to his deliveries. We actually look like scoring from a good chunk of our corners now.
I didn’t watch the Hull game, but agree, it was a pleasant change on Saturday to see someone put the ball into the box with some pace after what feels like endless years of weak crosses that can’t beat the first man.
Did Huddersfield lose any key player(s) to make them go from play-off finalists to bottom, or is it more they’ve been found out like Barnsley?
Forest took a couple I think and the manager left who they replaced with the Youth team coach and now a Scottish bloke from Germany. Seemed to be a lot of anger directed at the owners too. To think they were probably 2 poor VAR calls away from being a Premier league side.
My mate supports them and said they lost their 3 best players & their manager a week before the season started and didn't replace any of them well.
