Great result But

Mon Jan 01, 2024 5:16 pm

Etete and Collins are absolutely dreadful , Etete never wins a header , can't hold the ball up and as for Collins pathetic in defence we definitely need more quality in both positions.

Just shows how good we have been. Far too many L1 players in the team let alone the squad

Collins distribution is worst than Super Kevs.

Etete doesnt look up to championship standard
Collins is struggling in the system Bulut is playing

I thought Etete was doing okay before he was taken off.

I am here watching Sheff Wednesday and was thinking who would you pick Etete or Callum Paterson?

No buts, butt.. ! ;)

Etete did okay on his lonesome for long spells (people seem to miss he is often left isolated) and Collins ran his (proverbial) butt off...

Collins suddenly seems to be the 'in vogue' target for the 'boo-boys' on here... :roll:

At least it gives Ralls a rest from being blamed for today.

Working hard does not mean a thing. Collins has been very poor for a while now, and he's our only left sided wing back. Kind of reminds me of Mark Harris, good high work-rate but not Championship standard. Time for Panzo to get a run in the team.

As I said in another post, JC just doesn’t fit the system Bulut is trying to implement. That’s the major issue.

However, tonight, and for several weeks he has been absolutely ripped apart by bang average wingers. That doesn’t excuse him being ripped apart for several weeks, and it’s clearly being targeted by several managers.

Sorry pal have to disagree with you what
Is Etetes attributes he does nothing a striker is supposed to do . Collins defending is diabolical . Have you ever played foot ?

JC has been poor for weeks, and most joy comes down his flank. QPR were targetting it, and eventually got a goal.

Needs a game on the bench.

He’s just comeback from a long injury, and needs to find form/confidence. Takes time. He’s a class player on his day.

August he came back. He's a weak link in our team at the moment, sadly. It needs adressing.

Totally agree.
The odowda injury was unfortunate , I’m sure they’d have been rotated until Collins was 100% fit.
He’s played a lot of games after a long term injury.

Collins will come good, there’s a player in there, he’s low on confidence.

I’m afraid Etete offers nothing

Was thinking exactly the same myself...

Re: Great result But

Said it before will say it again, Collins has come back from an ACL and been chucked in as our only left back with pretty much 0 rotation or rest. Of course his form has dropped off a cliff he’s probably absolutely knackered.

Feel sorry for him on a personal level that he’s not been afforded the rest he probably needed as it’s cost him his AFCON place.

He's not in his natural position at times, as Erol Bulut looks to impose his preferred 'style' but I appreciate your comments. He is currently our preferred wing-back but I agreed elsewhere today that Panzo has to be worth a look there. For me, way to good not to be in the team but for the form of McGuiness and Goutas...

Sheffield Wednesday in tbe FA Cup next, so maybe an opportunity...? :ayatollah:

He absolutely deserves to be in the team! I think he’d be ok at wing back too. He’s more of a cultured footballer and is comfortable with the ball at his feet. Chance over the next 10/12 days before Leeds to get things right on the training ground.
