He performed better when he was further up the pitch and even developed a good link up with Afobe. His performances were not as impressive when he started to play deeper as Jackett went into a defensive shell of sorts.
Totally agree. I got infuriated watching him sit on the centre backs toes.
I think you could quite easily have both which would allow the four attacking players to focus more on attacking and defending from the front.
Our forwards might have scored a few more though if we replaced him with a more creative midfielder.
I too would love to see Saiss play a few games for us at centre half. Fancy us having a centre back who can pick a 40yard pass. How long has that been?
Or even scored?
Are you old enough to remember John?
I do remember a few good centre halves over the 40 years i've been watching Wolves mate but not many who had really good passing ability. Seem to remember De Wolf spraying passes out but other than that struggling to think of many. Said in a thread a while back one of the best passers in our league is Keogh at Derby. He manages to find forwards quite easily.Are you old enough to remember John?
Yes, whilst we need to be more creative, our lack of goals from midfield is shocking!
Other than Edwards how many have the others managed this season ?Is it?
One solitary goal from a striker since the end of August...nah, you're teasing.
Costa isn't a striker.
I am talking Coady Price Saville Saiss Tex(I know he got a couple )
In this context yes
Could be argued mate that neither is Dicko or JDB of late.
Yes but we had strikers who could score goals then .We are totally relying on 2/3 players to get us goals .The others need to contribute more.It's no surprise we don't get many goals from midfield then if we only play two midfielders
Seriously though, goals from the two central midfielders, considering the way we play is not a concern for me, as long as they are resolute, break up play and distribute the ball well either to our no.10 or the wingers that's fine with me.
I keep coming back to the last time we were promoted so sorry for harping on but we had 4 goals from our centre mids that year.
Because if the strikers don't score you need goals from elsewhere.We have Costa Cav Edwards and Doherty who have contributed well but next to nothing from elsewhere.That is my point.We might be playing better but the top teams usually have prolific strikers and useful contributions throughout the team we don't .
I said previously I deem Cav and Costa as wingers I am talking mainly about Coady Saiss Evans Price Saville and Tex who at least has 2 .Saville scored about 7 last year but is it one this year?How many goals have our central defenders provided?
