WE NEED ANOTHER OPTION UPFRONT ?

Tue Oct 29, 2024 1:29 pm

If robinson is injured who do we turn to or when he goes off we have no impact subs,
surely riza has to take the blinkers off and look to the reserves we cannot go on with this any longer.

Agreed. If there is ever an opportunity for a prolific youngster to get a chance, it's right now. Robbo is our clear starter but doesn't seem to have the legs for 90 mins. Kanga then is dreadful.

What I seen of reindorf when he played against Southampton he doesn’t stop running harassing defenders his off the ball running was pretty good too plus kanga isn’t able to do any of this he’s not a footballer obviously lol

You players need to that there is a chance of making into first team squad if they play well A striker scoring goals at under 21 level needs to be given match day experience and as we all can see he seems to be offering more than both Meite and Kanga currently

He needs to be given an opportunity, even if it’s from the bench.

Maybe he won’t make it, there’s a big difference between U21 and Senior football, but we won’t know unless he’s given that chance.

He needs blooding in straight away now.
So he's prepared.
Should be in that first team squad next game...

Exactly thats why we have an academy so players can make there way to the first team
Its down to riza imo surely he can see kanga looks like he is trying to find his way out of a maize and
Completly lost miete also offers absolutly nothing

Perhaps the fans need to start singing we want reindorf if he again turns to kanga or miete when robinson is done for the day

My guess is Ashford is in front of Reindorf, but at least he is match fit, whereas Ashford, Etete, and Davies are all coming from various big injuries.

Ashford isn't a striker, at least for the first team.

Has been used as a number ten/winger when given his chance for the first team.

I suspect ashford is more of a Rubin back up. Isaac is the closest we have to Robinson in this set up

From what I have seen of Reindorf he would be my choice over Kanga any day of the week

He has positive attributes, including his execution of long passes. He is comfortable in switching the ball to the opposite flank; another quality of his, is his dribbling ability and willingness to go past defenders. 

From a physical perspective, his power enables him to compete in attacking scenarios, He is exceptional at occupying centre-backs, whether against a back-three or a back-four. He shows a huge desire to run the channels,and holding the ball up successfully.
His stamina levels are outstanding.
His defensive game is very good and he regularly stops the ball from progressing into midfield by blocking off the passing lanes, and is also very good at winning the ball back
In addition to his success at winning interceptions, Reindorf is also effective at recovering the ball and regaining possession. 
physically, he has a great engine, which enables him to maintain his speed and energy across ninety minutes.

One area of his game that needs more consistency is his ball retention. Also, his finishing if he shows an extra bit more composure in front of the goal he could become a 15-20 goal a-season striker

I would also replace Meite on the bench with either Ashford or Jeffries i realise that at the moment neither are championship players but neither is Mieite and i believe he and Kanga have had enough opportunity's to prove they are.

Very well put - Can't disagree with any of that. I have also been watching Reindorf for a while but not as closely as you. I've said this elsewhere, but I think he should be on the bench soon with a view to giving him 20 minutes or so depending on circumstances. IMV he is better than Kanga or Meite but we will not know until we give the boy a chance.

I've just watched the highlights of the U21s game and have not changed my view on Reindorf. He still looked more useful than Kanga or Meite imv. And he scored his 12th goal to win the derby and put City second in their league with 2 games in hand. Give the boy a chance Riza.

Reindorf was also let go by Norwich, so an ideal time for him to come off the bench and nick a winner :occasion5: :occasion5:

Hopefully he’s knocking on Riza’s door saying exactly the same thing, come on gaffer let me prove them wrong.

If Robinson is out, this is his week and lucky break, lets hope he makes the most of it.

Unfortunately if Robbo is out, then Kanga will start and Ashford will be on the bench.

I doubt we will see Reindorf in the squad

Omer Riza:

“Isaak Davies has had a set back in his recovery and is in rehab at the moment, so it will be a few more weeks now.”
“We don’t know how long his recovery will be now.”
