Campbell, Cannon & Ings

[Putney Blade]

We wouldn’t loose much if one or more were sold / moved on. Individually and collectively they offer next to nothing offensively. Often slow, static with little creativity, rarely create or score. They are strikers in name only!

 

[ben1987]

don’t necessarily disagree with the sentiment but last night the service to them was absolutely woeful / non existent.

To be fair, Cannon seems to be putting himself about more than before, but Ings looks like he's just topping up his retirement fund, and Campbell, going through the motions at best most of the time. All three guilty of poor decision making.
Both Campbell and Cannon could have played into someone who would have had a tap in last night.
Mind you, so could Bamford, excpet Bamford has tons more to offer than the others.

Campbell last year was fantastic. This season he's popped up here and again but has looked a shadow of the player - maybe he finishes games, comes on for the last half an hour instead of starting.

Cannon, to his credit, looks much improved - Naturally the pairing with Bamford has helped that. Also, he's the quickest/ most mobile of the three and actually does chase & press...

Ings has disappointed, which is a shame because he could have been really good at the level - but can see his legs have failed him. Wouldn't be shocked if he's let go at the end of the season.

Its a good job weve signed Bamford otherwise we would be fucked

 

[BarcaBlade]

Wouldn't be shocked if he's let go at the end of the season.

Would be shocked if he isn't let go at the end of the season. Don't tell me we gave him 4 years as well.

Campbell's just out of form and plays better without a CF partner. Agree on the other two.

Hes out of form & unfit

 

[Toronto Blade]

Those 3 are ineffective .Campbell is not the same player as last season looks badly out of shape pace of a 50 year old.Without Bamford we would not have a striker that could score

They were indeed last night.
Unfortunately so we're several other players.

Our passing was woeful last night. The number of times when we were in possession and moving forwards, then misplaced a pass was criminal.

Appalling wasn't it?
Hopeful aimless balls forward to Campbell or Cannon rarely getting to them.
Misplaced passes, getting caught in possession, having to rush passes because we dithered on the ball.
A bad night all round as you say mate.

Suggesting binning Campbell off is laughable. He was excellent last season. He just needs to play through whatever funk he's in...and we need to up our creativity for him.

He never runs the channels to receive the ball, his pressing is a token gesture and his effort and physical commitment is sadly lacking

How can people think he’s just going through a bad spell and it’s up to his teammates to create more opportunities for him.
He barely breaks sweat, he looks a stone overweight and his greatest asset, his explosive pace which gained him that yard of space from which to get a shot on goal, has deserted him.
But worst of all, he appears to be content just going through the motions and robbing a living, which is hard to understand given his form last season, when he was a totally different player

I'm afraid he falls into the category of players who have no will power, drive and ambition. He's quite happy picking up a big wage for little effort.
