The difference in effectiveness was zero.

Harold wasn't isolated up top all on his lonesome like Angol has been.

Harrold was called in late in the day to replace Angol after not starting for many weeks. He was the only realistic choice as a replacement. They are two very different type of players and have different qualities. The fact that you prefer Angol is fair
enough -trying to denigrate Harrold to support your case is not. The last time Harrold & Wilkinson started a game together was I believe the home game against Walsall. The partnership worked that day, yesterday it didn’t that’s the long and short of it.

My comments on Harold’s poor performance were only in response to some clown on here who lays into Angol after every game, yet commented on how Harold was given nothing to work with last night. I just wanted to highlight the double standards.

How many goals have we scored in open play, in say, the last five games? Anyone please?

0 since October so I was told this morning in conversation.

As for the Westbrooke comparison, it's almost like getting an underdeveloped youth player in to do a senior pro's job isn't a great recipe for success in key positions.

Back when we got Westbrooke we needed a midfield enforcer, strong and experienced to compete against the NL thugs. Little surprise a slight, technical player was a poor fit and proved ineffective. Doesn't mean he didn't possess the talent to have a career in the game.

sh*t, I can't believe that. So, all of November and December, and half of January we haven't scored a goal in open play? Surely not...

No, I've just remembered myself, Sotiriou got one a few weeks back. Close range knock in.

Relax, it's just something you have to learn to live with when seeking that elusive 0-0.

In fairness hardly “ double standards” if you’re weighing into Harrold in the same way others do about Angol! As I said,imho both very different types of players who share one characteristic - they both operate much better with a degree of support from a partner up front. Whichever of them might start up front this weekend let’s hope RE ( and the fans) recognise that fact.

According to Embleton's interview he was going to drop Angol anyway.

Was he? I must admit I didn’t pick up on that.

That’s a very fair comment. I think Angol is a good player but because of our formation we’re not getting the best out of him. I’m sure he would start scoring again going with two up front

Tuffers was Wright omitted from your first half rating deliberately as he was that bad or you just forgot?

I copied & pasted someone elses & deleted there comments , so probably just an oversiggt.

Wright 1st half gets a 2

[tuffers#1]

Obsessed with what?

Instead of engaging in constructive debate, like pointing out pertinent problems the team has, you only seem 'obsessed' in just picking out arguments.

Genuinely dont care how we score goals
P.S not picking a fight .

Goals from open play will come again.

I really dont think it's tactical.

Lack of confidence within players maybe .
