It’s clear that the management don’t hold him in the same regard as the fans, hence why Waghorn has been the preferred sub. Good point about DL haha.

I do hope that Goal diff doesn’t come into it at end of season and I’d wager that there is a difference in appearance fees and number of games played bonus between the Waghorn and Tavares.
That said, I would no way disagree with 6’8” Dennis Lawrence. Ever.
Yes, he helped to get Vik isolated against a single centre back with his running. I think Godden is quite limited in what he can do with the ball outside the box but his movement is nevertheless very good.How many dummies did he do to put Vik through? At least 3. He won countless flicked on headers to put vik clear too. Hes far from a passenger even when he’s not scoring.
I wonder if DL’s approach was different to MR’s and he’s said go out and enjoy yourselves cos it was almost like the fetters were off, a bit like the last ten games last year and the year before.
I genuinely have no idea how much regard they have for Tavares but alternatively they could be limiting his minutes as he is raw and inexperienced and they want to introduce him slowly so as not to ruin his confidence. Only time will tell.It’s clear that the management don’t hold him in the same regard as the fans, hence why Waghorn has been the preferred sub. Good point about DL haha.
Yeah, you only need to look at this board to see that fans expectations of him are wholly distortedI genuinely have no idea how much regard they have for Tavares but alternatively they could be limiting his minutes as he is raw and inexperienced and they want to introduce him slowly so as not to ruin his confidence.

And that expectation can very quickly turn against a player, especially young players.Yeah, you only need to look at this board to see that fans expectations of him are wholly distorted
You could argue the same of Tavares. We keep on saying that we never have games where we can bring young players on when the game is won or there's nothing to play for. Here was a perfect opportunity to give a youngster time against a defence his attributes should have been perfect to exploit. Instead we bring on a 30+ ageing striker to give him minutes and confidence.Waghorn needs minutes and confidence, it was clearly the right call to bring him on during a 4-1 laugher. Also he nearly scored, so why stress about it.
Not forgetting SBT's strange dislike for Tavares.
I don’t dislike the guy, I just think it’s very odd that after we win 4-1 and our first choice strikers play very well, people still want to moan about why Tavares didn’t play. Sounds like he’s the main attraction for some people now!

No one has really said they dislike him have they? IMO I just think we've been at this juncture before with regards to overhyping U23 players.
I think if anything what's probably more strange is the sheer obsession with Tavares / the constant second guessing of Robins for not giving him 5 minutes or so at the back end of games.
The fact the management team aren't giving him regular game time week in week out probably suggests they don't think he's good enough yet. Not sure why fans think otherwise when they're not the ones watching him day in day out in training.
One wonder goal shouldn't really force the management team's hand or change their opinion.
Guess it depends what you want from games.
Jordan Shipley to come on to defend a 0-0 or Tavares to try and get you the win.

Patience grasshopperNo you’re quite right, I don’t want us to try and win games, and that’s why Tavares must stay benched at all costs.
