[Albion] Florin Andone

[Dave the OAP]

If Izzy had the sense to pass to him instead of going for glory goals at every oppertunity, we might of found out

He is a bit of a ball greedy sod at times.

From the moment the team goes down to 10 men with Murray on the pitch it was/is/will be effectively down to 9, which was still enough to win today.

Yet it still takes half an hour to get a proactive change and still posters will be along to defend CH's managerial acumen.

 

[Rowdey]

One of the few encouraging aspects of today. His all-round game -- pace, running, workrate, hold-up strength -- is really good, the key questions relate to his positioning in the penalty area, and finishing.

Agreed - And barged off the ball on that break away too..

Izzy played the Knocky cameo role very well today.

Here’s why I think he’ll be shit. Firstly, he signed for us. Secondly, he’ll take 2-3 seasons to get match fit as is the case with all players who sign for BHAFC. Then he’ll need 2-3 seasons to bed in. Then he’ll take 2-3 seasons before Hughton will select regularly, Murray by then aged 45 and still first choice. However he does represent value, which is front and centre the most important thing when signing players. Many fans make this mistake, thinking a new striker that can play immediately and score goals from the beginnning is what counts. Nope, you are mistaken. Far better to have several value signings who you’ve never heard of and we don’t play until the next comet comes round and then commend their work rate and the odd touch / quality pass; but not how they can crack the ball into the back of the net - who in their right mind wants to watch that??!

It looked more like a block than a barge from the poor view I had of it

Not the manager, that's for sure.

Was Andone picked ahead of Locadia today?

Is he injured?

 

[Weststander]

I thought Andone showed signs of being a quality forward for us, with good inter-play too, despite only having played a few minutes in the PL.

Play him feeding off of Murray, think he’ll do ok.

Locadia is ill, apparently.

Andone looked very capable in his cameo. Play from the start CH

2 strikers? Calm down, next you’ll be suggesting 4-4-2!

Would be madness. If it was a champ fixture against Cardiff we would have played 442.

Looked pretty good today. I think he’d work well with Glenn.


Given a chance!

Thought he did really well.....

Definitely needs to play off another but considering the negativity when Locadia has played I liked the look of Andone.
For one thing he looked interested!

 

[scousefan]

Loved his commitment - and he’s certainly quick
