ally_uk Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 Just wanted to show some appreciation for Edozie. From day one you could see the kid has the tricks in locker. Good to see him getting a run out in the team and scoring a few goals 👌 Bright future 👏 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 One of the best winger displays of recent SMS years - destroyed his marker at every opportunity and had end product as well, even found time for some tracking back when needed. Great performance. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 26 December, 2023 Share Posted 26 December, 2023 He's doing what we expected Sulemana to, beating the full back and putting in dangerous crosses and cut backs. When we isolate him against the full back he beats him more often than not. If teams have to double up against him it gives more space to someone like Stu Armstrong inside. He's also been more defensively minded the last few games, being in slightly better positions to close off space when the opposition play diagonals which is a decent tactic against us because the full backs tend to defend quite narrowly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the other way Round. Sam started the season whilst KS was still unfit. But , apart from a few glimpses of skill was a bit underwhelming though obviously a talent. He then appeared to lose his man for two separate break away goals we conceded, was criticised and his confidence dipped. Enter KS. Who started brightly but also underwhelmed. KS Got injured again and now Sam has grabbed his second chance with both hands and will be very hard to dislodge from starting berth. Though frasers form is so good who knows! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get why people keep doing this at the moment ..why the need to scapegoat players on a 16 match unbeaten run ?? It wasn’t long ago Fraser was getting stick too.. all three of edozie sulamana and Fraser are amazing options to have in this league all offering slightly differant skill sets.. Fraser seems to have the best shooting and end product, edozie beats his man with dancing feet but sulemana is easily the most explosive out of the three - but give it time and the assists and goals will come I’m sure when back from injury.. i hope we keep all 3 even in the premiership if we get there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussex_saint Posted 28 December, 2023 Share Posted 28 December, 2023 I’ve been really unimpressed with sulemana this season. For 30 mill or whatever he cost he’s done nothing of note. I hope when he is back from injury Martin continues to play Edozie ahead of him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio1saints Posted 28 December, 2023 Share Posted 28 December, 2023 That back heel finish was worth so much more than 1 goal for Sam if that means his confidence is at 10/10.

In the Championship this should equal prolific, and yet somehow it hasn’t… yet. Looking forward to him coming back and crossing to more confident & trusting teammates - would be a shame if he moved on before we had seen the best of him.

OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 I'm in the Sam camp. Physically he's not as strong as Sulemana, but when Sam has the ball, there's the feeling that's something positive is going to happen - and that's not just in the last couple of games. He also has a rough idea where the goal is. Contrast that to Sule who flatters to deceive. His control is rank, his crossing is rank and he can't shoot.

gio1saints Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 (edited) I enjoy watch him close up first half from block41 when defenders still fresh and some think they have started to work out how he thinks and his positioning a lot better. He does seem to have the beating of most his rb’s all the same! And he only needs do it once successfully for it to be a good chance or a goal. Give him the ball wide 4 times in a match and we should get at least one good chance out of it, if not a goal. I’m sure there’s a ratio evident from matches played but the gist is : if in doubt give him the ball! Down side of course is if we give it Sam and he’s isolated then tries something & loses possession we are open to counterattack. Hence we tend to slowly press upfield gaining territory in rugby talk - then give it to him. KS for example would love the ball way faster. And thets possibly why he seems to look frustrated a lot of the time. And not deliver. Edited 29 December, 2023 by gio1saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coalman Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 As a winger I don't think I've seen many players with the ability to beat their man that he has. The thing that's been missing for him has been end product. This season he has added end product. If he keeps developing then we're heading into Lavia territory of accepting that we should enjoy him for as long as we can until someone drops a ton of cash on him. Of our other wingers - Sulemana has blistering pace but limited end product. - Fraser is incredibly direct so perfect for the end of games or when we're looking to play fast on the break - Amo-Ameyaw has probably more skill and potential overall but needs a chance to grow into it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coalman Posted 30 December, 2023 Share Posted 30 December, 2023 That tackle he made tracking back last night was vital. Another thing he's added to his game this season is getting stuck in and winning the ball back. He used to just bounce off other players or get shrugged aside. Seeing him win the ball cleanly more and more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t realised it was him at the match, but seeing it in highlights realised how far he’d come to make the tackle in. Vast improvement on the limp running back against Sunderland on their first goal earlier in the season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could develop into a truly fantastic footballer. Sulemana has some of the physical attributes but I am not sure he has the mentality. I agree with someone above that it will be good to see him in a more confident / winning team. But truthfully I don’t think he wants to be here at all from his body language. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hoping his injury isn’t serious, having been in great form for us. If he is out for a period, suddenly we only have Fraser as a proper winger, with SAA in reserve and Arma playing wide at the moment. You can see why we are interested in bringing in a RW player.
