Just wondered what people thought about Dan A Saturday, to me his performance was a bit lack lustre and was hooked by Wellens. Does he look comfortable playing in the middle or would he be better off wide? Just wondering if he will sign a new contract I have a feeling he might not?

Took a couple of games to get going last season. Will be battling with CK for the first to 20 this season.

First game of the season, but he was a massive disappointment on Saturday
Off day, diamond didn’t work, whatever, it was not the DA we have seen on his few appearances last season.
Should have been hooked before cheers was, trouble is there’s nothing on the bench.

Dan won’t be up against big guys like Santos every week.
Also the close attention he got allowed Kelman a bit more freedom.

If only there was a thread where people have discussed it

Now’s your chance biggsy

Didn’t watch. Doesn’t matter. He’s quality and Richie will be easing him back regarding his minutes.
Unfortunately, without another physical striker, he is going to be doing the hard graft for Kelman which means his goal tally might suffer.

Occupied Santos, allowing Kelman to go against their 3.

Job done.

Didn’t think he played badly at all tbh. Had a couple of moments where he looked dangerous. Definitely had impact and kept them busy.

Agyei , Kelman and a raw youngster are apparently the only strikers we need .

I do get that the way we play means we don’t need loads of out and out strikers. But we haven’t really got an impact sub to replace ageyi and he’s gone be shattered by Jan

Perkins would seem to have little to no physical presence and needs to sharpen up a lot on his goal scoring abilities especially as seen in the pre season games when he is in a one to one goalkeeper to beat situation.
