We got relegated, all players could've done better including Windass. I doubt he loses any sleep over it so nor should you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not; I'm just asking whether those who told us not to expect him to score many at this level have seen enough to start charging their minds, given the impact he's had in his brief game time thus far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about his injury problems though and am thinking it might be worth using him as an impact sub more than a starter. In this league 30 mins of Windass each game might just be enough to turn draws to wins. I’d rather that than him get injured after another three or four games. For the next few weeks maybe but if we want out of this division, we need him full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to see Windass and Gregory up front in a 2,with Patterson playing an attacking role behind them Would have fancied us to hammer anyone with that line up. I actually think that’s what it will eventually be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just not in his game. He doesn't have that goal instinct. Windass does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been baffled by some of the opinions re: Windass at times, almost as if I was watching a different player to some. So I wonder whether those who doubted the impact he could have at this level have seen enough in the brief game time he's had thus far to change their minds, or are they still seeing something in his game that gives them cause for concern?

CourteenerOwl Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Windass is a lower end Championship player end of. Keep him fit he scores regularly. He’s far too good for League 1. Let’s keep everything crossed we get the majority of the second half injury free now from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Windass's game summed up. Actually gets in the box to provide a goalscoring threat to start with, gets the ball, controls it first time, like you'd expect every professional footballer to be able to do, though not some others of ours, turns in one movement, and blasts the ball into the back of the net. End of game. Football played simply and effectively. Well done Josh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have, and had, enough Championship players to stay up and be near the top of this league. From sacking Monk and blundering the opportunity Pulis presented, the club has been mismanaged esp adding in financial incompetence leading to points deduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a good acquisition though….was that by the much mocked Monk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the other stuff, though: his ball control looked decent enough when he killed Palmer's long ball dead, turned and slotted it home yesterday, for example. Plus he had more assists than anyone else in our squad last season, so he's not doing too badly as a team player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 When he first joined I didn’t realise what a clinical finisher he is. He has that rare ability to find the back of the net in a flash. Not seen many like that at Hillsborough in my years. Doesn’t need many chances. The only other strikers who had that real ability were Hooper and Joao. Hopefully can keep him fit until the end of the season. The spine of Hutch, Luongo and Windass are far too good for this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
