Sinclair conundrum

Have you played Rugby, your memory is at best selective. First you suggest my post as fiction and in the very next sentence confirm what I said in the post. Very bizarre indeed.

How on earth did I confirm what you said in the post?

The only thing that has been confirmed is my belief that you are mental.

Lucas Joao scored something like 28 goals in 130 games for Wednesday. He's hit a purple patch. Definitely not better than Sinclair

Buendia and Brooks yes, until January, when Leeds come for them. Campbell, no.

I was just listing players who are top class when on song. Campbell is very underrated too, 6 goals and 5 assists already this season in a stoke team who aren’t free scoring
 
just a question for those who like searching stuff up...... I believe last nights goal was Scotts 10th for us sicne he signed.

That means 10 in a calendar year so far...... who else has scored 10 Championship goals for us 'in a calendar year' this millennium ??

just wanted to see the company SS has joined....

could he be our 1st 15+ a season goal scorer since ?? in the Championship ?

Yet you have posted over 60 times in the last two weeks.

For someone who slags off all our users every other post you are one of our most prolific posters at the moment Pete. 😉
 
Just play Sinclair as upfront and central as possible and he will give us a cutting edge especially if there is another forward up alongside him who through either speed or robustness - which in practice means either Riis or Stockley - can help disrupt the opposition defence to create the opportunities that Sinclair an exploit. The only conundrum is why we have not consistently recognised and exploited that fact. From now on we must do because when we do we can score against anyone.

Barky so far has 8 for 2020 (plus 2 in the cup) so not far behind.

Robbo scored 14 championship goals in 2018.

Hugill scored 14 in 2017.

Cue worrying about Moyes coming in with 15m bid......but he's already had loads of prem spells and in his 30s now so he'll be here for the season no danger.

No need to worry, Moyesie will be reserving his £15m bid for Stockley........

If Scott continues in this terrific vein of goal scoring form, I would imagine he will top the 15 for the season.
I am sure he seems to be getting better and better with his finishing and we might see him bagging 2 in a game on a regular basis. 😄👍

Not this again. He's playing cutting in from the left, getting into central areas from starting to the left. He's played that position all his career. He's joint fifth top scorer in the league by playing that position. He's been one of our best players this season by playing that position. Just because he can finish doesn't mean he needs to be 'upfront and central'. Most of the top teams have their best finishers cutting in from one side (Mane, Salah, Son). It's not the 1980s.

If he plays up front he has to do the hold up play and occupy two centre backs on his own.

Playing on the left means if he can isolate the right back he can do what he likes from there on. You’re suggesting switch up a successful team just to push a successful player into an unfamiliar position

I don’t even know why I’m explaining this anyway because you’re never going to let it go

He's mental ain't he.

He wouldn't have scored his goal last night playing centrally, or had the run which was saved before the Stockley fuck up. Nor would he have crossed in for our equaliser against Wycombe.

He's a wide player. Full stop.

Fun fact: Sinclair hasn't scored this season while Stockley has been on the pitch.

He's the best finisher we've had in some time. DJ has been a good finisher for us but Sinclair just looks confident every time in front of goal off both feet.

Again, having a balanced, competent pair of full backs allows our wide players like Sinclair to push on a bit more and get a bit more central, whilst the full backs offer the width.

I hope you are not including Fisher as one of our balanced and competant full backs,the way he is performing at the moment.
