Why don't we ever start with CKR?

[Storer68]

All he ever does at the moment is come off the bench and score........................................

At the moment I would rather start with him and Knight than Robinson when our only tactic is to play/hoof high balls and crosses in to the box to a strike force that barely can outjump a flea...........................................

I don't think it's a coincidence his scoring record.

He's an incredibly talented player who can do damage if tiring defenders lose concentration and give him space.

Alas, at the beginning of games, defenders tend to be very focused, and, well, not tired. CKR has done less well against constant, tight marking, his inexperience has shown and he has given away too many fouls. Experience and learning will eventually turn this round for CKR.

As Watford also showed last week, he dies at about the 60 minute mark, so if you want him picked from the start, make sure you also pick the guy who replaces him for the last half-hour.

See when you're not being a conceited bastard you can actually make some sense...

Although in McGhee's post match interview he said CKR will start against Hull.

I agree though that he's probably better brought on later in the game when the defenders aren't so sharp.

 

[trueblue]

I'd like to see him start. Maybe that will be the plan against Hull, with McCammon on the bench for a last half hour bombardment if needed.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Because he is the new David Fairclough

Kids ask your dad who he was....

What is to stop us from start ing with a 5-5-0 formation playing with no strikers but making sure we don't conceed. Then when the defenders get a bit tired we can hit them with Knight and CKR!!

BAM!

 

[Les Biehn]

Unless he gets whole games his stamina is not going to progress to the point where he is dangerous for a whole game.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

One thing i did notice about him on sat was that he seemed to have developed a first touch. previously the ball had a tendency to bounce right back from whence it came.

however CKR himself said last week that he wants to start scoring ugly goals

 

[Scotty Mac]

think he is so much better coming off the bench, as lee steele was a few years back

unfortunately, our strikers are shit so having him on the bench is a bit of a waste

 

[n1 gull]

CKR needs a decent run in the team, if he doesn't score against Hull in the first 60 mins he'll be subbed and then dropped for the next game.

MM's policy of switching the forwards every week is shite. It must knock their confidence and of course they don't get a chance to form any sort of understand/partnership.

CKR will probably start at left back next week, with Mayo playing as the target man

Quite agree - Knight has played 95% of games from the start this season, and scored 5 goals.

Jake has 2, and CKR 4, however every time they don't score they are dropped! Bloody stupid

Spot on and if he has to play him from the start then pair him with Jake or Mcphee, drop the Leon as when he and CKR play together CKR gets Leonitus and gets lazy........

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Better coming off the bench at the moment.

Agree, when he starts he has little impact on the game and lacks concentration & enthuiasm!

Not to mention a serious problem with defying gravity!

Sometimes it seems like a competition between him and Leon to see who can look more like 'Bambi On Ice'!!

Yay, because they've both really shown themselves up to this level, haven't they?
