Agreed #RHMOut I think we gave up on the Onomah false 9 experiment too soon. In all seriousness thought he looked promising. Hopefully between him and a loanee we can give a bit of rest to Davies and maybe between the three of them we can cobble together a striker for the rest of the season.

Nigel Posted December 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2017 Deserved his chance to start over Hogan for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Impressive cameo. Definitely showed enough to get more game time IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 He reads the game much much better than hogan, he anticipates where the ball is going and makes himself available. IMO, much more valuable than a player that is brilliant at playing on the last shoulder. His touch is what impressed me the most, trapped the ball with ease. He was unlucky when through on goal, no other play in the division would of made that tackle other than Adama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Looked decent. His pace in the last 15 minutes gave him the space. He wont last a whole game being up on his own though. The system we play ruins forwards who are not big built players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 One really sloppy touch when he broke down the right but looked promising. I'd like to see more, though I'm not sure the current set up suits him. Doesnt strike me as someone that will thrive as a lone striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hopefully he can either start the game vs Bristol City or (maybe more likely) the one vs Peterborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) I only really remember him for taking one of the worst touches I've ever seen when we had a great chance to break down the right. That said, I'm all for giving him a chance based on what I've seen and heard from his performances at U23 level. He should be a good player at this level.

Stevo985 Posted December 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2017 Stat going round that he touched the ball more times during his spell than Hogan did in his. Cant comment on the validity, but wouldn’t surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've made errors in the past and corrected them so we will see He also attempted and made more passes than hogan. Kind of ruining the service and style of play myth.

roonst83 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Would love to see him start against Bristol City as I was pleased with what I saw today. Although I don't think Bruce will do it and he'll start Hogan. We'll only see RHM if we're somehow still at 0-0 with 20mins remaining or if we're 0-2 down with 30 mins remaining. He'd offer an air of unpredictability about him as currently our offensive play is too easily snuffed out. RHM could link up well with Grealish and his pace could definitely cause problems.

VILLAMARV Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Good to see him back and as others have said a nice little cameo. Yeah he had that terrible touch when free down the right but after that he could easily have crumbled. He was lively, always looking to be involved and the best thing is, if he can get some games under his belt and stay fit, maybe we're not so toothless in attack without Kodjia after all.

omariqy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Great cameo. Fearless and full of energy. Great control and made the right decisions. Much better than Hogan. However, by then the game was stretched as Pulis actually was trying to score a goal. I wouldn't start him I don't think just yet. Playing a full 90 rather than the last 15 of a game that is stretched is quite a different thing. I expect Davis to come back in if recovered. However, a good option for the bench and should be in the first team squad for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) He did really well when he came on yesterday but I wouldn't be looking to start him any time soon. It is one thing to come on after 70 mins with fresh legs up against tiring defenders and another starting a game. I think for now it is better for us and him that he get 20 mins to half an hour at the end of games. There is no doubt the lad looks a very good prospect though lets just hope he realises that potential and staying injury free for a while would certainly help in that.

sne Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If nothing else it's great we are no longer forced to be without a striker option or 2 on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
