What was the point in signing Soumare

[GymClassHero]

If we are going to play a powder puff midfield of Peck, Hamer, and O'Hare?

This bloke is clueless. Absolutely nothing against the 3 of them, all good players when used correctly but it's blindingly obvious that a midfield three of those is going to get overrun.

Extremely frustrating time to be a blade.

Snipers back

I thought Soumare played well enough on his debut
is he injured?

Nope he was inexplicably on the he bench. Away from home and we deploy a completely attack minded midfield three

No

 

[Harry's Game]

Soumare must look completely awful in training if he’s not injured.

I thought he was our best player at Birmingham and Swansea.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Soumare didn't strike me as a Souza type either tbh.

Still at least we are bringing in a 5 foot 9 lad to replace him.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

He's clearly fit enough to play at least 60-70 minutes

So his exclusion confirms the manager's incompetence. He clearly could not have made the midfield and the team any worse

Sellés instead has pursued some extremely naive ideal with his midfield line ups. Very stupid. He had an amazing opportunity at SUFC. All he had to do was dig in a bit and get a few results before trying to impose more of his own ideas. He's totally squandered it and he can't have any complaints

 

[Rodley]

The system is basically 1 midfielder. You’d need a cross between Makalele and a racehorse to play that role.

 

[metalblade]

Lets be reyt the unused subs should have been on the field at some point if not starters today.

 

[Tezza1889]

No

He did

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Before Tanganga today, Soumare’s brief appearance was the only bright light in a very gloomy start to the season.

Agree

My mate who is an Oldham fanatic watched us on TV against Brum and said he thought Soumare was a real talent and our best player . It is confusing what`s happening - perhaps he's injured ?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Have to admit was disappointed not to see him start today. Hopefully, Sellles will start him next time out!

you'd expect to lose games 4-3 with such an attack minded midfielder right?

Wrong, he has somehow managed to coach a decent front 6 to manage zero shots on target in last 2 games

I mean that must take some doing, maybe we’ve found his only attribute

Fans demand exciting football though.

No need for defence or midfield, just attack.

Hopefully Séllés will be gone before the next game.

At least you won't get relegated.

Ipswich keeper against our ‘attack’

He was on bench for last match too. Souza replacement sat twiddling his thumbs. As promising as Peck is need someone in midfield to steady a sinking ship and Soumare was brought in for that purpose.

 

[ancientblade]

this bloke seriously hasnt got a clue if he prefers peck to soumare how on earth can you play only 1 dm at a place like boro whove won 3 out of 3 the mans an idiot

Matos has stats akin to Souza / Choudhury. He looks a very intelligent signing to me. Young enough to improve with us.

Not much of a ball player though, so will need someone sat next to him to advance it. We have a few players capable of that, our best one is still injured.

The physical build of Souza was a huge addition to his championship performances though. Not as much in the premier league as there's many more athletic types in it.

 

[nopigfansintown]

A naive signing imo. He plays in a position where experience is very valuable. He's a loan so developing him will only benefit his parent club if we don't go up. He's out of our price range otherwise. That said we lack bite, athleticism and height so he has to play. It should be Soumare, Peck and one other.

 

[Slug]

Guessing he must have told Selles what we are all thinking.....you're fucking clueless amigo!

That's where my thoughts are - for him to continually be left out, he must've pissed RS off, it's the only logical explanation

 

[Newbury Blade]

Have to admit was disappointed not to see him start today. Hopefully, Sellles will start him next time out!

Or even more hopefully, someone else will start him next time out.

Hopefully Séllés will be gone before the next game.
