Swagger 7,673 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 No not a negative thread but just thinking there the team is flying and our main striker is struggling. If we can get him back to his explosive best then this team can go to another level yet. He’s still working away but needs those goals to come soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,263 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Think it's a confidence issue, a few goals and he'd hopefully be flying again. Been so disappointing since January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascadeshrimp 1,428 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Think it's a confidence thing, needs a goal and he'll go on a run imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 14,438 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thought he linked things up well tonight. seems to be playing deeper now. Probably needs a goal or two not worried though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,606 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It didn't help that he was nowhere near fit at the beginning of the season. I like Morelos buy we can't rely on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam69 26,757 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 If he was in the form of this time last season, we'd be winning games by 2 or 3 goals. I honestly think if he hits form, we'll win the league. But, i also think he needed benched at the moment for a game or two, bring on as sub or whatever. We have ready replacements, and see if he can sort himself out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,030 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think he thought he was getting a move and now he’s demotivated but I’m hoping a few goals and he’ll get back on track Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,394 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It's good knowing we're not a one man team now and could be argued we're actually carrying him this season. If he hits form again we'll be unbelievable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The system has changed, previously everything was going through him and if he was off form or suspended we were fucked. It’s now more fluid with the expectation that he drops deep more to contribute, he struggles with that but who knows he might grow into it. The role suits Roofe more, I think that’s why he was bought as the manager thinks it will make us a better team than with Alfredo up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 9,057 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Think he needs benched Itten and Roofe both coming on and having an impact in recent weeks deserve their chance to start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,287 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I've never known a goal scorer not to go through a barren period. Yes, he is in a rut but he will come out of it and be back to his best once he gets a goal or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose a bit of weight, learn to enjoy football, realise he is part of a team and currently one of the weakest parts, buck his ideas up and work hard. If he does he will be flying in a month or two.

BlueMe 25,327 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Shite first half but improved after the break. I would drop him on Sunday and give him a rest tbh - he looks fucked. Kent, Roofe, Aribo or Kent, Itten, Roofe against Livingston imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sket 13,610 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Needs dropped. We will be better for it when he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that first touch it’s absolutely shocking I don’t think he looks overweight but his pace has completely vanished and he’s offside far more than he needs to be.

philiprfc 1,799 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It's not just scoring. Guy's touch and control is such a let down at the moment. He's had flashes of quality this season but he's largely been off it since Christmas. Need the old Morelos back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superallysbears 7,471 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 He's lost it right now, but hopefully the spark fires back up in him at some point, it's got too if he wants down the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThenNowForever 232 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I’m more concerned he still has flashes of temper than I am about his lack of goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,647 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 How can you not start Roofe after that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,096 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Needs a a goal. Arfield touched an absolute gimmee into his path first half in the box and he tried for a pass back. That was a goal 12mth ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbscotty12 3,558 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 He got goals against red imps and hibs and didn’t go on a run. He’s been woeful since December 2019 and needs a long spell on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,433 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Needs dropped. What's the point in signing Itten and Roofe if you don't change players who aren't in form. Both have shown they are reasonably in form for their little game time. Morelos has scored 3 goals in 2020, time to switch it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearInTheToon 1,575 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Still needs to lose a bit of weight and get sharper. Even after weeks out, Roofe looked much more mobile on a water-logged pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,016 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Time for a spell on the bench and for longer than one game if Roofe, Itten and Defoe are all fit. Doesn't offer anything atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,920 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Touch like an actual buffalo tonight. Looks cumbersome and clunky. For me, he needs rested. He only gets worse when things aren’t going well as he clearly gets frustrated at himself. We will indeed be some team when he starts to click and things stop bouncing off him.
