calscot 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Novo's shown that he needs confidence, but he's also shown, even when he first came here, that he's not a natural finisher as such, he lacks composure and I don't think anyone ever thought he was the long term answer did he? He shone at Dundee and Raith Rovers though, but I don't remember him being amazing when he was first choice here. Got to agree with this - it seems to correlate with the fact that most of Novo's goals this season have had a touch of luck - usually a mild deflection or in off the woodwork. They haven't exactly been clinical. I like Novo, he tries hard and is all over the pitch but his quality is limited and he's more of a squad player to me. If Le Guen had bought more astutely in the summer, Novo wouldn't have a sniff of a starting place. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'd like to give Sebo a chance but its a catch 22 situation. So far, he's looked pretty poor to be honest, even struggling with basic ball control. He does need a run in the team but I'd be slightly worried if that run was with Novo as we couldn't afford to start trying out things in the first team now as we're too far behind Celtic as it is. if Novo started banging the goals in then yes, put Sebo in there and if Novo can carry the scoring for a bit on his own then we'd be fine. I think Sebo might be a victim of cicrumstance this season though. If we're going to get second place we can't afford to carry any passengers now. Agree with you again, Le Guen has used up all his experimenting time, it's now time to use what we know and get all the results and points we can. If we were in Celtic's situation, then I'd be all for a bit of tweaking and giving players a chance. We just can't afford to gamble anymore. Sebo has shown absolutely nothing in all the games he has started or come on as a substitute, that he can do much for the team at all. He's blown his chance of getting a run and can only see him coming into the team if there are a few injuries to the front men. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Agree with you again, Le Guen has used up all his experimenting time, it's now time to use what we know and get all the results and points we can. If we were in Celtic's situation, then I'd be all for a bit of tweaking and giving players a chance. We just can't afford to gamble anymore. Slightly disagree here. I think Le Guen's experimenting can last a good few more months yet. What happens if / when he brings in 1 or 2 more additions in Jan, surely he will have to try out a few things. Id rather we try everything and to make aure we get everything right rather that just be satisifed with maybe our second best line up - Again its hindsight but this season is transformation time and Im sure we are still good enough to claim 2nd place. On the other hand if we are winning games which we have done recently then I agree keave it all be for now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
