Somehow he controls the ball then mis-controls it but somehow gets it back again. Just needs to be a bit sharper. Davie Mitchell used to do that all the time.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Seems to be a longish process to complete in signing loan players. Pages and pages of posts here and another set in BD where the optimism is there that he has signed, but the reality so far seems to be that talks are still going on. I don't know if its 90+% certain that he will sign but clearly until the deal is done its not done. If it doesn't happen yet another round of disappointment for the Support to endure. But if it is done I really do hope he is the sort of player that does not arrive with an injury or not fit enough, can slot into the team immediately, and more than that - much more than that - make a distinct positive difference to the team by either getting goals or creating them. We need players that can score a lot more goals, and / or create a lot more goals for Miller, Waghorn, Dodoo etc. First half of the season form of living on the edge of securing 3 points in games where we sometimes do and too often don't is not what we want in the 2nd half of the season. If European football for next season is the objective then its goals we need, and players that can get them. Looking forward to seeing the official notification from Rangers that he has signed. Until then it remains optimistic speculation. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boybluesy 3,708 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Think the boy is a natural finisher from what I've seen and will come good. Too lightweight at this moment in time and his all round game at this level is poor due to this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garner is always outside the box when the ball gets played in, not a naturals goalscorers Instinct. He's more a target man. Waghorn is too inconsistent and drifts wide too often.

Dodoo is the best finisher by default! In all honestly I've seen nothing from Dodoo that gets me excited other than one good strike v Partick. The second one came through about 4 bodies and on another day would have been blocked or had the keeper's sight not been blocked by the defenders I think he would have saved it. In my opinion, and I hope I am proved to be completely wrong, he looks like a big carthorse! I've never seen someone so young and fit run so slowly!

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Leave Dodoo alone for fuck sake, the lad did very well, then was repaid for his efforts by sitting on the bench. In my eyes he looks to definitely have talent and is a good finisher, but if you're going to keep benching someone after impressing you're going to get inconsistency. I've said plenty of times before, squad rotation only works when you have really good quality players - we don't - so we cannot expect all these players to hit the ground running after a time on the bench.

I'm sure you'll correct me if i'm wrong but i believe he started the next game. Would like to see him given a chance too but that doesn't look likely in a 433, so if this 352ish formation works then maybe he'll come good. Aye, he started the game against hearts where admittedly no-one played well. Jack The Flipper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us sticking with the 3-5-2, I think that was only for celtic. I'll not correct you because my memory is shit, but I'm sure there were a couple of times when we expected to see Dodoo after previous performances and instead he was dumped on the bench.

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 We can dismiss players too quickly. I don't think we have seen anywhere near enough of Dodoo to make a judgement. I think a player needs 15-20 games to be able to judge . I remember us signing Alec McDonald way back and it took him a good time to settle and find his best position and he is a real legend. We write players off way too early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. If Forrester had been less greedy Dodoo would have scored against them. And that would have made it four goals in four appearances for the lad, counting the one he'd had chalked off - we can't ask for more. For me -- unlike Garner -- Dodoo gets himself in the right place at the right time. Combine Garner's physicality with Dodoo's positional nous up front and we might have a winning combo. Wee Baz on the other side and this Spanish guy in CAM role behind them. Could be good... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
