Obika's Goals tally will grow as does is confidence and around and around we go. He will get us 15 plus goals a season without a doubt. He can play crap all game as long as he scores a goal every couple. He's a great presence up front, awkward and difficult to defend against. In this league, this season I'm confident he will prove to be one of the best.

Got to start Thomas up top with GVK starting instead of Henry. IMO Henry is a quality player and we haven't seen the best of him yet .. far from it in fact. I'm coming to the conclusion van the man might not be the player we had hoped, but again early days.

Defenders really don't seem to like him.

I agree Henry is a good footballer but I don;t think he fits into that Attacking Wing role in a 4-2-3-1. IMO the position he's playing screams out for a bit of pace, willingness to take on the full back and carry the ball into the box (if Obika up front) or cross if Thomas is the front man (a la Hall). In this respect I'd like to see GvK and Hall on the flanks.

Obika is a way better player than I thought he'd be. He's got excellent feet for a big guy and when the ball is played up his feet 9/10 times it sticks. Where Henry is concerned I think he gives good defensive cover to richardinho so we are solid up to 65/70mins before we bring on the impact sub. I think he brings a lot that we don't easily see.

I think that is the point. When Gino comes on for Henry we look far more dangerous going forwards, but more open at the back. Henry just gives the team more balance (especially with Rothwell now in for Ruffels)

Agree completely - I'm sure Henry has a lot more to contribute but he does offer discipline and balance and at the moment - GvK looks more like an impact player to me (I'd love to be proven wrong though!).
One thing for sure, we may have lost some really good players since the end of last season but in overall depth, the squad seems stronger.

But imagine if we had the opposite of hall on that side cutting in and shooting, someone like roofe, we would be terrific defences so much we wouldnt have to play any defenders

Really? I think Henry is shite. I think that you need to give Pep some of your wisdom ... I don't think Pep has a choice as Van Kessel is too erattic and not good defensively. Basically we need another player likevHall on the other flank which unfortunately we don't have.

Missed Obika tonight Massively. I hope Agon can cut it because we just can't continue with Wes as our second striker.

I expect the Anguilla from Albania is even less cut out to play that role than Wes is.

Thought Wes did okay - he's a very intelligent footballer, but just hasn't got the same presence as Obika. Which is something of a necessity for a lone striker. Looking at Agon, I don't think he will either as he's very slight. When Obika is out we might have to sacrifice someone (I.e. Payne) in order to play two up top.

Thomas - I always think he is on a different wavelength to the rest of the team. seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and doesnt hold uop the ball particular well or win headers. However, he then pops up and scores and I think why the fook cant he do the other things better.

However, he then pops up and scores and I think why the fook cant he do the other things better. I thought he held the ball up really well for the first 20 minutes but then completely fell apart and was at least a yard behind everyone else for the rest of the game. (goal aside)
