He had the whole goal and only had to poke it in from 2 yards. He was at a stretch, moving quickly and under pressure, but all he had to do was prod it forward. He incredibly manged to prod it upwards and over. hes too laid back, not clinical or alert enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynecoyne14 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 doesn't matter if he was flagged he would not have been aware of that just like he wasn't aware of an opportunity to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath83 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) When does the youth and / or inexperience excuse become too old? The lad needs to play to learn. I reckon we should send him out on loan. Pointless sending him back to Portugal, that won't prove anything. Send him to a local team so at least he won't have to move. I'm sure any of the 5 SY teams would sn@tch our hands off! Edited August 27, 2016 by Nath83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the first line totally. Just as firmly i disagree with the second line. I thought we had found a 'natural poacher' as you say, at one point. Now i just think we have a player who turns up for pre season unfit & over weight, just like when we first signed him. Massive disappointment. Not good enough, which is why he was the price he was.

Guest Coyt Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 His header against Arsenal, his finish against Brentford last season, his brace against udders, all good finishes and shows the lad can finish and has proven it, all this he can't cut it at this level is a total over reaction because of the miss today. For what it's worth I like Joao but he certainly needs to be hitting a level of consistency, that's what he's lacking and why he isn't a regular starter.

JoshTheOwl Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 i don't care if it was flagged offside or not, too miss from so close is unforgivable and an absolute disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One he got fit and integrated into the team he scored 9 in 13 I think..Its only when CC changed the lineup around and paired him with FF that the goals dried up. Bannan went on the left, we lost our shape somewhat and our cutting edge was reduced as a result. Yes he's not be great so far but nor has anyone else TBH..get the system right and he will score goals again at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazzaowl Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Both Joao and Hooper need to leave and make way for some quality. If DC is serious about us going up then he needs to get us some more quality because we're lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 For me it wasn't quite the miss of the century that Rob Staton made it out to be on the Radio. He made it out that he had loads of time when in actual fact I don't think he did. Don't get me wrong he should have put it away and I can't really explain why he hasn't, I think only he can. I know its a cliché but I would rather he was getting into those positions and missing them than not being there at all. He'll be better off for today and hopefully will come back stronger.

Bluesteel Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Staton exaggerating? Never. was a shocking miss. But I think if the people reporting on the game actually want to help a player they don't need to score cheap shots for themselves against them. Joao has come on a lot since he first joined but he is prone to a terrible miss. Did the same for Portuguese first team and for us last season! He is another athlete who has a lot of potential but perhaps not the cool head of some of the others. Nonetheless, at 21/22 it needs to start happening for him if he is to fulfill his potential.

Hack-Abusi Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Inexcusable and indefensible miss. You have to score those regardless of what type of striker you are, whether you think you are offside or how old you are ... those types of chance's need to be put away Absolutely shocking miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Both Joao and Nuhiu have both missed open goals this season. Not a great sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More goals per minute than Ross McCormack last year, but I imagine you would have him in a flash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joao , make no secret all this 'bags of potential' rubbish wore thin a long time ago. One of his better games yesterday but I struggle to see where this superstar in the making is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he started off poor then hit a purple patch then nothing again, inconsistent, we need better quality. Nugent? P.S Ross Mac- no ta.
