[Albion] Leo Ulloa. Discuss.

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

It was said in the spirit of sarcastic posts on NSC this afternoon. I love this Albion squad.

Whoooosh!

Took quite a while for the ‘Scapegoat of the Match’ thread to appear.......

That's because Bong and Knockaert weren't playing.

I thought Dunk had already been blamed for both goals.

 

[Telford Seagull]

I thought Leo was very good last night, but i do agree, he was left on too long. Nothing against him, his touch was still there but he was very tired. Looked like he had no energy after the hour mark

Still, an excellent player.

That's because Bong and Knockaert weren't playing.

And Stephens (who gets criticised despite consistently being the best player on the field!)

 

[Marshy]

Have we really not worked out yet that having a pop at players who are not match fit is well a bit stupid

 

[dazzer6666]

I thought Dunk had already been blamed for both goals.

Yes but that was a thread hijack, not a scapegoat thread.....

 

[Surrey Phil]

Don’t think you can make an assessment following an away game at Old Trafford. We signed him as quality cover for Murray and that’s exactly what he is.

 

[luppers]

I thought Leo looked absolutely shattered last night, but remember how few games he has played this year. He has got to get match fit,so don't make him scapegoat although this forum always has to have one !

 

[Perkino]

Murray won't last much beyond next summer as age catches up with him. Ulloa is an ideal replacement and if I was being honest I think an improvement. I hope he signs for us once he leaves Leicester

 

[durrington gull]

Agree. Great squad player at this level - just look how important he has been for Leicester.

Yeah ok as a squad player but no more than that

 

[Questions]

When is he contracted up to with Leicester ?

 

[dazzer6666]

When is he contracted up to with Leicester ?

End of 18/19 season I think

 

[Perkino]

End of 18/19 season I think

If that's the case then it might be worth waiting until his contract is up and taking him on as a replacement for a 35 nearly 36 year old Murray

 

[Murray 17]

Murray won't last much beyond next summer as age catches up with him. Ulloa is an ideal replacement and if I was being honest I think an improvement. I hope he signs for us once he leaves Leicester

Sure, he's not going to go on for ever, but what makes you think he's suddenly going to go down hill? He got 23 goals last season, and 13 this. That's not the sign of a player feeling his age.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Was pretty underwhelmed when he came back, still maintain my view.

I dont see him going down hill suddenly but age will have its toll and he may not figure as often and for as long in games as this season. I would expect more sub appearances and less starts with Locadia taking his role.

 

[Lush]

I thought he done fine. Poor service he received .

Hold up play good he was.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Leo is a very good target man but The problem he had yesterday was that locadia gave us a different dimension as he’s quick and mobile. So the game mostly passed leo by.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that Leo is as good if not better than Glenn at hold up play and laying the ball off plus is more mobile but Glenn has the knack and know how of where to be and how to convert chances.

 

[amexer]

Away game at Man Utd a mighty tough place for a target man to impress Perhaps could have made himself more available in 2nd half when we had lot of ball. Def as good as Murray and prefer to judge him at home.
