realaleowl Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm not a season ticket holder these days but have seen Lita four times now. I appreciate the goals he's scored but for a player of his experience he just does'nt cut the mustard for me. Madine who had a superb game won every header and I lost count of the number of flick ons he provided his partner. Instead of backing into his marker and having a wrestling match (which he invariably loses) he should concentrate on coming off his marker and making space for himself. He has the pace to turn some of the divisions central defenders inside out but his insistance of backing into his marker does my head in. Personally I think in the current situation Madine (providing he puts the effort in he did yesterday) and Maguire would be a better pairing. Olifinjana was superb, Holden has got some good touches but the game passed him by somewhat. The penalty was a farce no one seemed to want it, but Madine should'nt have been let near it ( hindsight I know) Coke or Lliera should have taken it. All in all a dour derby but 3 very precious points. First thread I've started so interested in others opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFC_Liam Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Why would you want to drop a proven scorer at this level for an unproven player when we need goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You don't take out the only proven goalscorer at this level out of the team. He was very average yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our penalty taker and hadn't missed one since he's been here up until yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Goals have dried up a little bit, still think he's quality though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I kind of get the feeling Lita is solely a goalscorer (ultimately what a striker should be). If he doesn't score he'll look pretty anonymous, but you give him one chance and he'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 we're more potent with him in the team. He's capable of popping up with a goal even when his performance suggests that's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornebranch Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Why shouldn't Madine of taken the penalty. He has scored all his previous penalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Wasn't a great game yesterday but he got no help at all from the ref, the Barnsley defender was all over him everytime and then he just started paying more attention to the defender than the ball. He was trying to fight the defender too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Madden Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 He wasn't great yesterday,wasn't alive to Madines knock ons at all but I reckon he's on the plus side of the equation over the period of his time here and if we get something similar from Madine in the next few matches the understanding between them will improve.

sharrowowl Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Madine seemed to be pointing to himself for the pen pretty much straight away. I'd have told seyi to take it. He's cool as flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcclesallOwl Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Madine & Lita should be heading our attack next year Once they gain the understanding between each other they'll be lethal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I like Lita and think hes a good chance taker. I do want to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Obese Owl Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 If Madine doesn't take our pens I think it should be Llera, he's the cleanest striker of the ball we have and takes most other set pieces, so why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ben29 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 To be fair is jj had squared Shot he had lita prob would have scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vontemp Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Quality finisher who'd thrive in a side with decent service. Not his best game yesterday but it would be nice for him and Madine to get a run of games together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
