Etete today

Re: Etete today

He's got pretty good technique and chips in with a goal sometimes. Much the same thing was said about Mark Harris. He doesn't seem to have the strength or nous to keep hold of the ball but then looks to the heavens when he doesn't receive it (then a little later loses it himself. Robinson has these high standards for everyone else too). I hope I'm wrong but I don't think he's a championship striker.

Yes, I agree with this. :-/

Re: Etete today

I found it strange that he didn't seem to have any inclination to take either penalty.

Why?

Re: Etete today

I can't see Erol Bulut messing around (assuming he stays) like previous managers hoping for these types of guys to come good, he can't do it now and that is what counts for managers.

Clubs need to make the call, we keep hoping for the best and if we miss one we miss one.

Rhys Healey, Kadeem Harris, Ibrahim Meite, Omar Bogle, Gavin Whyte, Harris, Watters and probably Issak Davies


Etete may make championship grade but its not for another three or fours seasons. Colwill's lack of physicality (for his size) is masked by outrageous skill every now and then

Re: Etete today

None of our front men are up to the task

That doesn't mean they are crap but not one looks like a goalscorer of any substance

Re: Etete today

Why?

Really?

Because he's a forward and most forwards like to score goals. And seeing as that's what he's supposed to be good at you'd think the chance to kick a dead ball from 12 yards out with only the goalkeeper to beat would seem like a good opportunity to do what he's paid for.

I agree....strikers should be demanding the ball for penalties....

He's probably a worse option than Mark Harris. At least with Harris you knew you'd get energy and fight, you rarely get that with Etete.

I don't think Etete's a natural striker, good technique but no cutting edge or goalscoring instincts. Would he have made it as far as he has if he wasn't as tall as he is?

I'm surprised nobody ripped the ball off Robinson given his record

Re: Etete today

Etete looks as though he doesn’t want to know. He’s just not good enough.

I'm trying to remember Etete's goals. One at Watford under Lamouchi. Coventry away? Would i bewrong in saying that he has had to work for his goals, good goals that were 50-50 chances? If i am right (and i doubt it) it says that he isn't a striker who can position himself and get a side foot from 5 yards out, or that the service in those kinds of areas is poor. I'd say it's a bit of both, because i can;t remember him scoring a routine goal like other strikers do.

How many target men do you see taking penalties?

We had Ralls and Whittingham for the last 15 years.

05/06 Darren Purse was our designated taker

Didn't Kieffer take them whilst here?

Re: Etete today

The best thing that can be said about Etete is that his name is a palindrome. We haven't had many of those over the years.
