Not being given much of a chance to progress either on match days, not saying he is the answer after 1 goal but Waghorn and Walker are not being used that much either

If you’ve seen him in the 21s this season you wouldn’t want him on the pitch. Impact on the wane and yet to score. Should be out on loan

Yeah he kept a clean sheet, but at least a couple of set pieces he was completely caught out and his distribution throughout was pretty bad.

Thought we were largely solid, created some good chances and restricted the amount of decent Bristol chances, despite them pushing hard.

Allen comes in for some stick (albeit often deservedly) and his lack of quality was apparent a few times last night, but I actually prefer him playing that deeper role because of his energy and able to constantly press the opposition and think he did a decent job last night.
Yeah, Allen's passing was poor last night but his strength is what he provides off the ball. If someone is caught out of position, it is often Allen that is busting a gut to cover. His stamina is phenomenal. Without his or O'Hare's energy we would struggle more so.

Just checked Andy Turners ratings, yet again Dabo got a higher score than Bidwell, despite pretty much everyone else scoring them the other way around.

Godden’s goals have also dried up and Tavares is almost certainly a better finisher than Palmer. Gyokeres’ finishing is also erratic so it wouldn’t be wrong to suggest Tavares is the best finisher at the club.

Hes scored 3 goals in 37 games of professional football

Fuck me that's ridiculously harsh. The lad has already shown he can have an impact.
Which is more than Waghorn and Walker have shown.

He's only made the bench in the last 2 because of the absence of other senior players. Robins himself said he's not doing enough.

Have you seen much of him with the U21's?
He is young & talented & can definitely play a part but he's little more than an incredibly raw prospect at this stage who is 5th choice for a reason. We need to let him develop at his own pace rather than throw him in before he's ready.

How often does he win the ball though? He makes half as many successful tackles per 90 as Sheaf, Hamer and even Palmer

The only games I can remember where he's had an impact is Preston at home (lol) and Norwich away (when he needlessly gave the ball away and Norwich ran off to score their third).

So more of an impact than Waghorn then!

When Robin's throws on Waghorn or Walker it is more in hope than anything else, i hope they play well, i hope they assist, i hope they score.

You don't have to win the ball to be effective. His work-rate and closing means the opposition have less time on the ball and are less progressive.

He needs to give them more time on the pitch to have an impact. Coming on around the hour mark is ideal but no later than 70 minutes to be honest.

Yeah, most of the time is 80 mins plus, and the dynamics of the game have gone and the game is stretched.

As Oggy said it’s hard for anyone to develop any kind of rhythm if they’re just getting 5-10 minute cameos here or there
