I think he only slated Bakayoko the once didn't he? And as ceetee has alluded, maybe Chaplin is Robins' signing and Baka isn't.

Then when you look at how he slates Bakayoko but makes up excuses for Chaplin.
Away at Bristol rovers. Completely forgot about both these but you’re spot on, I thought he looked unbelievably clinical from those two, so far is yet to transpire into his game. Hopeful it’ll come though.

That's like a millstone round his neck and nothing to do with him personally as a player. Not his fault someone paid that much for him.He's snatching at things now, or not shooting at all. He has had a few opportunities where he's picked the ball up just outside the area and not had a go.
It's all about confidence and he's not got much at the minute, not helped by fans getting on his back or criticising him because of an unconfirmed transfer fee.
Welcome to my life.I’ve written off this season now. I’ll go to games and enjoy seeing people and being at the football but I think I’ve clocked out of expecting anything.
Yeah, criticise him by all means for missing chances, but he's hardly anonymous.Against Wycombe he had a shot cleared off the line.
Against Scunthorpe he had a looping effort that the keeper had to put over the bar.
Against Plymouth, when he scored with an excellent free kick, he also had two other second half chances to score.
He should have scored the one at Wycombe and at least one of the two at Plymouth but if he is getting in the positions where he has good goalscoring chances he isn’t anonymous.
He just needs to be given time to show what he can do. I think he will come good.

No, but then he's our top scorer isn't he? I can see why Robins still plays him.He needs to show what he can do given all of the time that has been invested in him and the insistence in playing him all the time.
Other players haven't been given anywhere near the chance he has had.
No, but then he's our top scorer isn't he? I can see why Robins still plays him.
None. Agree. But JCH is not a goalscorer and I think Baka's and Hiwula's shooting is worse. Chaplin showed he can smack a lovely goal with that effort at Plymouth. That was a beauty.Then again that's probably because he gets many more minutes as opposed to others and is the penalty taker (yep, still goals though).
How many would others get given the same opportunity?

I just feel with Hiwula and Baka they tend to drag a lot of shots wide. I know it's only the warm-up, but if you watch that you will see. I think Baka dragged three in a row wide on Saturday and that's with no pressure and no defenders in front.
The players that hit the ball the sweetest are Chaplin, Shiopley (especially) and JCH, though he does tend to blaze a fair few of them over the bar.
Again, I know it is just pre-match, but it gives the impression they just aren't as good in front of goal.
Ah, but weren't you saying some of Chaplin's were tap ins?If Baka and Hiwula's shooting is worse then why are a higher percentage on target compared to Chaplin's who has the worst out of our attackers?
Ah, but weren't you saying some of Chaplin's were tap ins?
It's all relative isn't it. It's the same when some point point to clean sheets and praise Burge, when of course it could have actually been the back four that saved his skin.
All I'm saying is that Chaplin seems more natural and someone has already said, in training he's the one banging them in left, right and centre.
I would have rested him previously, but in terms of goals right now he's hit a bit of a purple patch.
You sure that's right? Pretty certain Thomas has had about 172 shots and only got 4 goals.Cody McDonald scored a hat trick in training as well though.
Yes, the shots on target includes tap ins and penalties as well. His
He is still missing sitters left, right and centre. If it was Bakayoko missing those he would probably be taken off within 5 minutes, certainly wouldn't then shift the whole front line about to accommodate him. Did Robins blame the pitch when Hiwula slipped over in front of goal?
Chaplin has had 42 shots, 19 on target and 7 goals.
JCH has had 49 shots, 23 on target and 6 goals.
Hiwula has had 27 shots, 18 on target and 5 goals.
Luke Thomas has had 49 shots, 24 on target and 4 goals.
Bakayoko has had 10 shots, 5 on target and 3 goals.
Chaplin and JCH have played up front the most.

Again, it is subjective. It's great that players are getting the ball on target, but Hiwula has hit so many shots straight at the keeper as I recall.
What I would like to see is Enobakhare and Chaplin being given a go together. Think that might well work.

Well I would agree, but he has been scoring lately and I think that is what is keeping him in the side.
So we've had nearing 200 shots and scored only 25 goals?
That's absolutely shocking.
He would prefer to pick a “favourite” to the detriment of the team? Why? He picks him because he believes he is the best option.you may disagree with this but I just cannot understand why he would pick someone who weakens the team thereby putting his job at risk.I put it down to Robins preferring ‘his’ signing. Another case where he is sticking to a losing formula.

You love the old “unconfirmed” transfer fee don’t youHe's snatching at things now, or not shooting at all. He has had a few opportunities where he's picked the ball up just outside the area and not had a go.

Barnsley was one of the few games I attended this yr. That disallowed goal cost me about 50 quid.Weird thing is chaplin. I remember his first 3 games, he had two efforts beautifully drilled low from about 10-18 yards both ruled out for really really tight offside. Barnsley was one, the other was away somewhere. I remember thinking, that's what we have lacked, how unlucky is CC they were minorly offside. And since then it just hasn't happened
So to give someone the 5 or 6 goal tonking someone keeps bringing up we just need to get 40-48 shots in a game.So we've had nearing 200 shots and scored only 25 goals?
That's absolutely shocking.
Performances don’t. Four good goalscoring chances in the lame second half.Results disagree with Robins.
As does the lame attempt at getting back into the game at the weekend.

You are just repeating a robins sound byte of being close.We win we have played well. We lose we have played badly. Don’t think that this is true at all. In my view we are very close to having a winning team who play good football. I have seen Blackpool win twice this season. If that is the way they play I am glad I am not a Blackpool fan.
