He’s admitted he’s not at his best. Give the guy time. His first game for us was excellent then he got injured just after.
Fully fit he will make a difference.
I dispare at our fans. We go away to a team unbeaten in six games on a day when emotions are running sky high too. We come away with an easy point and could have easily won the game but for Gnonto, Bogle and Joseph fluffing their lines.
Burnley have just drawn at home to QPR! Let that sink in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My recollection of Solomon's debut was that for the first half he was entirely predictable and that Lewie Coyle was able to defend against him with very few concerns. He kept shepherding him down towards the corner flag. It was only in the second half and only one assist that made him stand out, without that average at best, it certainly wasn't an all round "excellent" performance.
On the point of him admitting he is not at his best, well that's obvious isn't it, no doubt there was a good player there once, how long do we give him, he's firing blanks at the moment. If he hasn't turned it round by the next window when we could send him back and utilise that loan space with a better option, if there was one, how would that feel?

Funny how people see the game differently. As you frequently point out LIW, you see things differently at the ground.

Apparently we're paying Solomon 50 grand per week because Ajax came in for him just as we were about to sign him.
Doesn't look money well spent at the moment. Hopefully he'll come good in time.

Piroe shouldn't be starting he just doesn't fit the way we play. Solomon if he doesn't improve by Jan we should end the loan.

Could use another striker. One is bang average and slows us down, one cant hit a barn door and one is barely fit ..... and can't hit a barn door.
Teams have pretty much always needed a 20+ goal striker to get out of this league and we still don't have one. Wood, Gayle, Toney, Mitrovic, Armstrong, Pukki to name a few recent ones.

And Sunderland are doing a Leicester/Ipswich, won 2-0, 5 points ahead - we are dropping too many points. Still Bristol city are unbeaten at home, so fair enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You don't need a 20 goal striker anyway. Leicester got 96 points last season. You need someone who is mobile and can bring others into play. He wasn't great when he came on today but Joseph makes us such a better team. I reckon he'll go on a good run of goals anyway. With Piroe we are playing with 10 men. He has no physical presence whatsoever.
Personally did not think it was too bad today. Performance was good enough to win and the only thing that was missing was a clinical finish or a tiny bit better cross/through ball that would have resulted in another golden chance. We gave an in-form at home Bristol City side absolutely nothing which remains very positive going forwards.
In terms of individuals I am a lot happier with Bogle these days who is contributing miles more than the first few games of the season when he looked like a league 2 player. He was solid today defensively and showed desire to get forwards and make something happen. Byram was very good when you consider its his first game in quite some time. Part of a defence that gave nothing away. Midfield is looking far more fluent with Rothwell/Tanaka. The only starting player who didnt really contribute much was Piroe but we all know why he is picked to play. Solomon was not great but needs the supporters to support him and give him time.
Every time we dont win a game there is a general ch1tting the bed form Leeds fans. Sunderland are compounding that with their excellent start but I remain confident of promotion from what I have seen so far.
Can't win every game but at times such as today i don't know why Farke never sticks Piroe & Joseph up top together. Just try summat different Daniel. We need one of that pair to start really producing or the inevitable pleading for Bamford to start will happen, which is the very last thing we need.
