    Dagnall

    Obviously he needs time to gel but on the basis of the last few games, I cannot see what he offers compared to someone like Malonga. I'm sure the fans who'd rather our strikers try hard than score were delighted at him coming in and Dom leaving however in a league like this, it's goals and the ability to break down teams that will win us games, not someone trying to defend from the front

    Had a poor game, but has looked good before now. Absolutely need to single him out, IMO.

    Today was the kind of game I would have envisaged Malonga not trying a leg.

    Malonga wanted to leave so he left. What's the point of looking backwards and complaining?

    Today certainly wasn't Dagnalls fault and you could point to half a dozen others who had just as bad a game.

  11. #10
    With the exception of Bartley and maybe the central defenders we had very few who performed tonight.

    To pick out Dagnall as worse than the others, especially the other 2 forwards, is strange.

    No need for a scapegoat. A bad day at the office, potentially a costly one, but hardly an excuse for open season on players.

    I like Dagnall, he had a poor game tonight but in the other games I've seen him play he's done really well and been unlucky not to score.

    I think he works better with Cummings than Stokes does, so far.

    Losing the Malonga song is a real blow. The mcginn Song is good, but I really hope we can finalise a deal on a Cummings song before the Derby. I also heard a rumour that a Dempsey song was overheard on a number 26 bus...

    I like him.

    Today's the first time he's played badly and he wasn't alone.

    Any real need to single him out over fans' favourites McGinn, Stokes and Cummings who were all very poor?


    I didn't want to see Malonga go. He was a class act who offered us something that the others simply don't but if he wanted to go then I don't think there's much we could do.

    And today was exactly the type of game that he didn't tend to fancy - the type that gave the haters the ammunition.

    We know Cummings and Stokes can finish, Dagnall has had an average (at best) goal record in his career - on top of a couple of games for us where his finishing and first touch have been substandard - and to bring him in for Malonga (a player who scored almost one every other game) seems head scratching to say the least

    Yup. Hoped the players would pick it up once the conditions improved but it was Livi that seemed to find a gear.

    Dagnell's first poor game for us but he was just as poor as Cummings.

    Not if Malonga wanted to leave. He's also been brought in for Anier and Feruz.

    Firstly Malonga wanted to leave.

    Secondly his career goal record is average.

    Thirdly there is more to some strikers games than goalscoring.

    I loved Malonga but he's gone now and Dagnall is here, until tonight he has been decent for us.

    I thought Dagnall tried hard but it didn't come off for him. He didn't look to hide though or let his head go down so with that attitude and a bit more luck and game time I'm sure he'll come good

    He chose to leave because his family were struggling to settle in here and his wife is Italian. Not the fact that he didnt want to be here.

    I think it's going to be relevant though so it will be discussed as the season goes on.

    The fact was we let him go when under contract.

    I think that was a mistake and he would have played a role. Doesn't help when Dagnall and Keatings are going for so many games without scoring.

    Malonga's record for us was above average. That's what matters.

    Seem to recall him scoring some away at Livi? This chat about no fancying games has just grown arms and legs. It is far lazier than Dom ever was!

    His lack of control when clear in tue box in the first half was shocking. Poor decision sacrificing stokes scoring threat to fit dagnall in.

    I thought Dagnall was very good in the semi final.

    I would have kept Dom, although not against his wishes.

    And I agree it's relevant but that's football, players move on and unfortunately at times that aren't always ideal.

    I loved Dom and thought he was superb. If there was any chance of us keeping him we should have pulled out all the stops to do so and I'd be gutted if there was any suggestion that Hibs didn't.

    I didn't think he was lazy, he had a deceptive body language that made it look like he was lazy.

    But there were times when he simply didn't fancy it imo. And more often than not it was during games like tonight's so I find it unfair to use this as a stick to beat Dagnall after a poor performance.

    Poor game tonight and still hasn't scored which we need our strikers to do , but neither stokes or Cummings scored either Don't think playing the three of them worked and Stubbs should of acknowledged that sooner and make subs and altered tactics .

    I like Dagnall but needs a goal. Other strikers have been criticised far more for going that length without one but I think he is still appreciated for his all round play at the moment.
