Not sure its a blind spot, just a young player, who is obviously talented and come through a good youth structure. I think many would just like to see him have a run in order to actually make a decision.
Its foolish to just write players off very early, again as many did with Anders and Casey and probably many others.
Though also works tge other way, Udoh got pelters, then became brilliant when sold
I respect everyoneās views but donāt get the āobviously talentedā bit. I think people are so desperate for him to be good, they watch his displays with tinted glasses.
Many great youth prospects have flopped in the pro game and I fear itās the same with Brad. Would love to be wrong, but he has had a fair few opportunities now and hasnāt taken them. We canāt afford to keep playing him until he taps one in.
I certainly havenāt got any better judgement than any other of our gasroomers but I just despair when it comes to the number of times Fink makes a mess of good scoring chances. Woodrow was just as bad today mind you. I also feel MD got the tactics wrong but there you go. All just my own view.
Glad to see someone agrees with me on Fink. More than happy to let him learn his game on loan, but itās helping nobody with him playing in League One for us.
I feel Woodrowās hold up play is decent, but his confidence is gone in front of goal.
What? Terrace is Ā£25 these days?!
If Fink was missing open goals, then fine, but I remember him having one real chance today
There lies the problem. We lost because we didnāt create enough, and switched off at the back.
Well he had 2 identical chances in about 2mins for starters.
First one comfy save for the keeper 6 yards out.
Second one headed over.
If Fink was a Ainsworth find, one of those prospects who we need to be patient with itād be one thing.
But heās a club record signing.
Not his fault but we need a signing of that magnitude to be a proper game changer, not someone who is alright and might be better if he played 15 games in a row.
Although as we all know, the time after a rubbish defeat isnāt always the best time to give a balanced opinion.
Thank god for your honesty @Malone
With Woodrow and Fink up front we had no pace and little movement. Both of them fail to challenge in the air with balls hit forward. I felt that time and again our wing backs and Taylor Allen had possession of the ball in our half but could not find a decent out ball as both Woodrow and Fink were pretty ineffective and slow.
Ah, id forgotten the one over the bar. Fair play.
Again, my point is we need to get someone better than him, not blame the entire loss on him.
The only positive is that it was forced with Fred being unavailable.
But whatever that system was I did not like it at all.
And that is very fair. Itās not Finkās fault we lost, or his fault that bar that 5min spell we didnāt play a style that looks to suit him, in swinging crosses.
I just wonder what on earth they thought they were getting with Fink and why they thought it was worth such a huge outlay.
For the last decade weāve been blessed with Akinfenwa, Vokes and then Kone leading the line.
Fink is nowhere near that standard and Woodrow canāt even be called a striker.
How we allowed ourselves to get into this position is a real failure of recruitment. Sadly itās not easy to rectify it in the January window.
Due to a roof leak in my man cave - I couldnāt make the match today, but I was constantly looking at the match report as it evolved - apparently we hit the cross bar and hit post ?
Also we had ample shots with 5 on target, Peterborough had much less with only 2 on target (which they scored) - is the report fuddled or was this a true reflection? If this is true, then were we just unlucky today and being fickle supporters we have just chose to negative ?
I havenāt scrolled through yet as just got back. Not sure how to view that performance. On the one hand, we huffed and puffed for 70mins but once the second goal went in we seemed to accept our fate. However, despite our lack of invention we tried and were unlucky with a few chances and guilty of poor finishing for others. Someoneās got voodoo pins in Fink (and heās pretty bad) as that guy canāt catch a break.
When your main creative threats are Harvie (runs himself into the ground) and Grimmer you have to worry. Junior is weak as urine and may offer a moment or two a season but little else. Donāt know if Peterborough are a good side or not. They certainly took their chances and cut us open when needed with clinical precision.
Thank goodness it was one for the bargain hunters today as no floater is coming back soon to pay Ā£25+ for an adult ticket - and the rest.
You could say that about 2/3s of League One, ourselves included.
What the hell is this about?
What can he do? He wasnāt like that at 1-0 and what is he meant to be like when the quality on he pitch canāt finish or carry out what he wants?
