When's Broja fit?

This will be the manager who insists he doesn’t need to employ a striking coach, yes?

Is that true? Pretty mind-blowing if so.

Is that true? Pretty mind-blowing if so.

Yes, it was put to him at least once in pre-match pressers last season and he said something along the lines of “we have a lot of coaching talent already.”

He wouldn’t even entertain the idea.

 

[allen]

It's not so much that I don't think coaching can help, it's that he's 27 and he's unlikely to improve much technically at this stage with or without coaching. I feel like the mental aspect has a much better chance of paying off.

I think try everything.

I know I would in Dyche’s position.

He’s our number 9 and he’s struggling to put the ball in the back of the net. Pull every lever.

 

[jonnyg]

I don't think I've ever seen him try to dink the goalie, I don't think he has the composure to think about it.

He did so at bournemouth but it is pretty rare.

Not an instinctive finisher, feels like he goes for the textbook sidefoot shot regardless of what the keeper is doing.

When's Broja fit?

….when we start paying his salary. Saving a fortune here.

the fact ndiaye already has a song before DCL just shows no one really liked DCL from the start

When's Broja fit?

Not soon enough

 

[st.domingo]

“we have a lot of coaching talent already.”

That may be true, but I'd like to think a "high performance"-oriented man such as the manager would be open to changing things up when it's not working.

Hopefully there has been some kind of misunderstanding here.

Absolutely.

When's Broja fit?

Most likely seems after November international break. So he'll have missed about 12 games for us.

His name doesn’t rhyme with anything

 

[Osamabindiesel]

As a goalscorer, he hasn't been good enough. As a playmaker, he hasn't created enough. He has games where he really holds the ball up well, but when it comes to the things that matter most, he can't do it. He is a good player. You won't progress if your striker doesn't score or assist chances. He needs to find some consistency particularly with the ball at his feet and his composure.

Just a pity that he’s been with us so long, he’s 27 and the club still haven’t realised it offering him massive wages. Yes people will say it’s to protect the asset, but I suspect the club would genuinely like to keep him.

What a great fanbase
