Maja One Trick Pony

[The Jarra Wanderer]

The problem is he isn't given the ball to his feet in the 18 yard box nearly often enough.

In a nutshell this. The lad is an excellent natural finisher but should never be played as a lone striker; it’s clearly not his forte.

The difference being, you can put what Jakubiak has into Maja, you can’t put what Maja has into Jakubiak.

Exactly which is the point I make.
I make no attempt to compare them as @Windypants would suggest.

Surely the sub was about getting a 19 year old off the pitch early because he's got a lot of football coming up and we need him as fit as possible as we have nobody else who does what does - scores regularly. I want him to be upset about getting subbed but the bigger picture is our club getting promoted and not his personnel feelings. I fully expect JR to be explaining why for the team he needs to be kept fresh. Also feel his goals catalogue at the end of the season will be just a selection of great goals and one for us and him to have fond memories of.

TBh the system we use him in is shite. The fact he has scored such goals is amazing. He is a 10. Not a 9.

 

[Godric]

Defo was shite anarl, all he did was score goals... the f*cking w*nker!

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

I hope we can keep him. He could become a legend here. Probably the best striker in the league.

Nah he isn’t like. He comes alive in the box.

He’s unreal at this level Ffs pure football is absolutely full of idiots

 

[ryhopesteve]

Does nowt all game then scores a class goal

I’m bloody sick of him scoring goals

 

[AC Mack]

Imagine combining Maja's skill in the 18 yard box with ball at feet with the Bristol Rovers No.17 Jakubiak's ability to play the lone striker role. He was a torment to our back line all afternoon and showed us just what is missing from Maja's game, as if that was needed.

Their striker did well, but I don't think he jumped or challenged for a header all afternoon.

If one trick is scoring, that’ll do!

 

[Hulkenburger]

Top scorer?

Joint 2nd, best in terms of minutes per goal though.

Who's top?

 

[Hulkenburger]

Who's top?

Tom Eaves of Gillingham.

Tom Eaves of Gillingham.

Weren't we after him?

I can’t believe any criticism whatever is coming his way.

 

[Hulkenburger]

I don't recall, I thought he was the big lump who couldn't hit a barn door. That might've been the Shrewsbury striker though.

Not a bad ratio considering where Gillingham are

Mental when you think the love O’Nien gets

 

[thecloughywobble]

If I was JR I'd be after him.

I'd be a little surprised if he wasn't on the South Fork radar, Ale, la. There are a few others I've seen this season who might also come under scrutiny.
