If we had better forwards than, absolutely, I would agree with the majority of what you say above.However, we need to improve the forward line as neither Dykes or Armstrong are good enough keep us up. Being our most high value player makes Chair a luxury if only for the failures of the 2 men ahead of him. 1) If my auntie had bollox...... 2) We all know this. 3) Not his fault. Blame the club, owners & former DoF who've gone into this season so embarrassingly underprepared with regards to our forward options. My point still stands. He HAS to shoot more in the hope of a goal, deflection (as proved on Saturday) as the other 2 up front are shite & rarely get on the end of anything. 2 i agree 3 Dykes is shite Sinclair Play to his pace and strength. Over the top or a decent through ball early and with vision. |

Hmmmm, can those two words go together and maintain even the merest hint of sincerity…?  I refer my honourable friend to my post above. Everyone keeps telling me Chair is shit and we should sell him. Fair enough, if that is the view of lots of posters. I simply ask, how much is the next least shit player we have worth? If they are more shit than this apparently shit player called Chair, let us sell him. Then maybe we can raise that 20m to sign that 20 goal a season striker the fan base wants |

In fact, my entire argument rests on the fact that he is our most sellable asset. |

Personally won’t miss him
Sick of seeing him running with the ball while his chin is buried into his chest.
Never looks up.
Time for willock to step up.

Time for willock to step up. and what makes you think Willock will step up? andre dozzell will be our creative spark. if he goes to Afcon I don’t want to say we are down but it would take something pretty miraculous to keep us up |

The Marrocan squad will be announced today so here`s hoping that he will not be picked and instead start to release the ball to better placed players.
PS. Cifuentes need to play him more centrally in my opinion.

Rather have him then not but not sure the miss will be massive as some think I’m sure there is someone else that can step in and shoot from outside the box putting it into the crowd and hit the first man with corners 😁 2 goals and 4 assists in five months are not standout we can’t cope without you statistics |

This season who else is providing the creative spark? And even more to the point, effort? Our confidence is already low, think it would be rock bottom without our talisman. Willock looked quite good again for about two games but seems to have vanished again. Smyth touches the ball less than just about any forward in the Championship, Muscles and Dykes we know about, Dozzell can't be arsed or can't do it, no idea which. Field seems to have a radioactive field in front of him that makes it impossible for him to turn and pass a five-yard ball forward. Everyone beats up on Dykes - and fair enough - but the chances created are very low. I just don't see others stepping up. Think it will be lots of five-yard square passes and then back to our centre backs. No one else has the courage, pace or imagination to break the lines. |

A few posters (Westy was one) were saying pre Cardiff they were half pleased Chair wouldn't be playing because he slows the game down and is selfish/ no end product etc.
Not having a pop as clearly we are all deluding ourselves if we think one tweak here or there is suddenly going to turn this into a winning team, but genuinely interested if that is still the view.
Personally I thought we missed him a lot.
However, my only glimmer of optimism is I think Koli on the left, Chair in the middle and Willock or Smith out on the right might have more balance to it.

Yeah we missed him. I’ve personally criticised him a lot but it’s not because I don’t think he’s a good player. It’s frustration because if he looked up every now and then and worked on his set piece delivery he could be the player we all want him to be. The fact he hasn’t kicked on with that suggests he won’t get to the heights he’s capable of and that is extremely frustrating. It’s in his hands |

I think Saturdays game goes exactly as it did with or without him. This season his main highlights are putting shots into the crowd and hitting first man with set pieces and I mean that.
He’s not ripping up the league as his stats clearly demonstrate. .
Tempted to say best of a bad bunch this season but thats no accolade. Would I play him ahead of others yes do I think he will make a massive difference no ( based on this seasons performances from him)

He was very good against Ipswich until he came off. Despite being utterly shit against Cardiff we lost by one goal - who knows if he might have made the difference? |

For 3 seasons Chair has consistently been our best attacking player without a shadow of doubt for me.
Very harsh to say he wouldn’t be a big miss in any game purely based on the last year.
I get the frustration with criticism from the fans but I can’t think of many players less deserving of it over the years than Chair.

When Willock is in form Chair is so much better/ and willing to release the ball . I doubt Willoch will recover totally; so what do we do? I don't know, but move him closer to Kolli could work.

I get the frustration with criticism from the fans but I can’t think of many players less deserving of it over the years than Chair. i agree tbh. he has his flaws but no where near as many as other players, even on his worst day the only critisism one could give him is that he had a quiet game. compare that to any other player - even our good players and its a different story. i'm still of the mindset that we should sell him as he's our only real saleable assett and in our current position we need to strengthen the team. chair is a good player but with the players around him he can't really show his true ability. if he goes to a top championship side you'd see a completely different and more effective player mark my words. |
