Taiwo Micheal Awoniyi

[Statto]

We've spent 15 months adapting to be able to play in a way which gives Wood opportunities and now he's in almost the form of his life and is right at the top of the goal threat charts* we would be stupid to change it.

Use Taiwo as a battering ram for the last 20 if we're desperate until Wood drops out of form.



*One of, if not the country's top strikers on form and Forest still can't win. Typical.

Because every match we concede at least one stupid goal from a set piece situation.

If we do get relegated, our inability to both defend and score from set pieces would be equally to blame than VAR or refs or FFP points deductions, if not more so.

JP reporting in the Telegraph Taiwo will be back soon

The sun will go nova soon...

The absolute story of our season

 

[stantonred]

Two weeks.

The same two weeks that Andy Reid was always quoted as for a whole season? Then retired

 

[Captain Sinister]

Taiwo’s retiring

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Retiring in 14 days.

 

[SandyReid]

Is it too much to ask for him to come back soon?

 

[Robertson]

I don’t really see him back firing on all cylinders this season even if he makes a miraculous reappearance on the bench on Sunday. Maybe the odd cameo like the Arsenal home game.

 

[justnotjase]

He'll be lethal in the championship. Or the 20 games he's fit to play in anyway.

Missing Taiwo isn't the problem anymore now Wood is scoring goals. It's the other end that's the issue.

We are a more dangerous team with Taiwo, he causes a lot more trouble to defenders than Wood. Wood is great at being in the right place at the right time (which is great) but aside from that he does not add much.

 

[ARedChester]

Keep him rested for Shef Utd and Burnley. I really hope him and Elanga play those 2 games and use their pace. Need that little extra.

At least Wood is on the pitch and not chatting to the Physio in the treatment room

Not sure what relation that has to me saying we are more dangerous with Taiwo in the team

Are we planning on selling Taiwo to a team in the 2nd Division?

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Baffling as to why Nuno played him when he looked so unfit. Felt like we rushed him back then, and that we're paying the price for it now.

His goal against West Ham at home tells you why.

The issue is that sadly he's barely fit enough to be in the team

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

His goal against West Ham at home tells you why.

Yeah fair play, I guess Nuno was really that desperate for the points and probably a bit lost without him.

 

[Berkshire Red]

Wasn't Wood out? So we'd have been playing without either. So you can't really blame Nuno.

Can't remember tbh, but yeah, Ribero definitely wasn't an option.


I'm hoping Nuno's buddy Mendes has more players lined up who aren't fit for purpose! lol

Should have just unleashed Origi.

In fairness Alf, he has some terrific players on his client-list, a couple of which I fully expect to be heading this way should we survive.

 

[DanR]

We should tell Origi to sign up with Mendes, see how he likes having a load of shite forced on him.
