TodwickOwl Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 How long can he stay out the side for? Matias was a bit of a headless chicken today and making runs but ultimately losing the ball and giving it back to Reading - dangerous game and did it plenty of times in the last 20 minutes I dont think you can leave a player of his quality on the bench - there will be games where he is the difference between two teams and he’s won us games on his own countless times in the past. Matias on the other hand, I cant see that being the case. And that turn at the end was something else ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitcat Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 He's barely played. I think he'll start flying after 10 or so games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCOWL Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I expect him to start the next game. We we are going to need his quality when we play better teams than Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hopefully we see him back and firing soon...……..but it is strange as there were players much worse than FF at Brentford who are still in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Seriously?! Since been dropped, we've won three games. Scored two goals a game, and looked a much better outfit both defensively and offensively. Now, I'm not saying thats entirely down to Forestieri, but it certainly does not warrant these endless threads demanding his return. Do we support Sheffield Wednesday or Fernando Forestieri? Would anybody care one ounce if we win promotion (not saying we will!), with Forestieri not starting a game? It's ridiculous. Matias performed a key role today, and has done in the two games previously. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 He always grafts so I don’t see Jos’ issue with him. I like the approach he has taken recently but we have one of the best in the championship on the bench currently and he’s arguably been in his best form since moving here after that knee op.

HootHoot Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I think Fessi is an amazing sub to bring on when you're ahead and you want to manage the game. Bringing him on towards the end adds another problem for the opposition that they then have to manage. He comes with bags of energy and is such a handful. We've won three games in a row doing this. Why would Jos change a winning philosophy? That is why he's the manager and you are not I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 He has to fight for his place and he's too good a player not to win it back, but as a club, this is what is needed competition for places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't graft 2nd half at Brentford which is probably the reason he was dropped and since then we have won 3 out of 3 and he has had a positive impact as a sub. He will be back in the side before long as long as his attitude remains right. I would have Fletcher and FF ahead of Nuhiu and Matias but you can't really argue with not tinkering too much with a winning side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reducing one of the best players in the league to an impact sub will surely only be temporary (or it should be). We have won 3 games on the bounce by a tight margin but to those suggesting that it nullifies team selection queries on the basis that we mightn’t have won otherwise. Well perhaps we might’ve won more comfortably. I think FF will be a must against the challengers at the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The thing is, if FF comes on as a sub, he seems to manage to cram 90 minutes worth of football into 30 minutes. He's a deadly sub... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but after Brentford we had 1 point from 3 games and while FF played well against Hull and Wigan if his attitude seemed off at Brentford then maybe giving him a wake up call of a game on the bench was the intention - since then we have kept winning. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him start the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
