I agree with what you say but he has to be played as a stricker and not a winger. It's been said before but 4-4-2 is defiantly our best formation !
I just hope we don't send him out on loan! I also hope e keeps his place and plays against Cardiff in the league cup!
I agree with what you say, he's an incredibly intelligent striker.
What I really like about him is that as soon as he gets the ball, his first instinct is to turn and run at the defenders. This is what all the best strikers do, you can tell he wants to get goals.
Hopefully if Nugent's injury isn't too bad, I would like to see Schlupp partnered by him upfront, because as quick as vassell is, his final product to find his partner is not always the best and he doesn't quite hold up the ball as well as Nugent.
Schlupp scored in the League Cup against lower league opposition but he has still has to cut it in the Championship. Still lacks experience and toughness and may need to go out on loan. It would be a shame to ruin a good prospect by pushing him too far, too soon. And it is time to stop overlooking Steve Howard. Not a pretty sight but he is cunning, hard and panics defences. He should be on the bench as an alternative to people playing pretty football who needlessly give the ball away. If Howard has the ball the opposition can't score. He could do a good job for us as a 60-minute player for one more season.
Agree Dunge Schlupp come of age yesterday and the future for him and us is bright. Pacey, Exciting and will score goals without doubt.
I too agree with Dunge that Schlupp is breaking through, and worth keeping very close to the first eleven. But like longtime I would do the same with Howard, who still brings something our others don't.
Schlupp definitely has potential to be a good player for us.
Having watched him this season, i think he is going to be a good goal scorer if played as part of a front 2. When he played against Bury in a 4-3-3, he looed isolated, rarely won a header and didn't hold the ball up which to me suggests he's not a target man.
However, his first touch, eye for goal and ability to turn on a 6 pence suggest he'll thrive given the right service.
I think he'll be excellent if used well.
Great work out for Schlupp yesterday and perhaps being thrown in at the deep end without him having time to dwell on his opportunity was to his advantage. He's nowhere near the finished article and at times looked a bit out of his depth, but his overall play was intelligent and he definitely grew in stature after his assist for Wellens goal. Hope to see a lot more of Jeff Schlupp over the coming season.
Schlupp was good, I wanted him to score when he came on, hopefully this break will be good for Nugent to recover from that injury, hopefully not to serious but we played well with 4-4-2, just need the defence to improve!
Just need a striker with us looking likely to let Howard and Waghorn go.
