Against tiring defenders his agility and power on the ball is deadly...he completely annihilated that left side of their defence. its a thought....but I think we need him, Tammy looks a little jaded....Its a tough job leading the line on your own.

WakefieldVillan Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Was like the Kodjia of old last night and it was great to see. He has definitely given the gaffer some food for thought for Saturday and will be interesting to see how we line up. I personally don't think we are usually at our best when playing a standard 4-4-2 but a middle diamond might work better with the strength we have in central areas and I think it's in wide areas where we have struggled to find any real consistency. Back to Kodj... Unlike when Tammy stepped up, I never felt for one minute he was going to miss his penalty, none of this silly run up, little stutter, waiting for the keeper ETC, just get the ball on the spot, pick a spot and hit it clean and precise.. and that's exactly what he did! Fair play! I think the goal lifted him and he was a nuisance all half, plus the drag back in the corner with three around him was disgusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but my point is I don't think Kodj currently has the fitness level to start and lead the line on his own. It's a tricky problem that is for sure, can't really start Davis either as he's not had the minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I love Tammy but imagine having 2016/17 Kodjia in this team He gave us a throwback on Wednesday, I'm not against starting him tomorrow and giving Tammy a rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Sure...like the old Kodj However,both players had a prolific record for Bristol City.....I think the sheer presence of those two together on our team sheet will spook them.

No, but he's wandered aimlessly round the pitch not even pretending to try on many many occasions. I'd imagine it's just saddos making up rumours.

Keyblade Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Now that I think of it, I do remember him holding his rib at the end of the game against Rotherham, when he threw his shirt into the crowd. I thought he was just winded from all the work he put in. Edited April 13, 2019 by Keyblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Need him back, he is a key 1st team squad player. He will be a vital part of the end of our season, while not being 20 goal a season kodj, he will still be that annoying player who scores against opponents or causes panic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think he gets unfairly criticised due to the fact we spent £6-7 million more than we he should have he was/is a £8mill one .. Bristol City must have been pissing themselves when we made the bid .... but no dr x and wyness spent way Over he odds on him through no fault of his own and pre injury he was somewhat of a hero ..... solid squad player but can se him Going to turkey or China in the summer .....

He may be playing at a decent standard now, but not when he was with us. He really only did pass the ball 6 yards, sideways, and he was brushed off the ball like he was a kitten. I’m glad he has found form even if it is with another side as he’s always given 100%. He’s a grafter and seems a decent guy, but he was one of our worst performers during a very bad period for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
