Cav is a starter on his team and has 2 goals in 8 matches so far this year, he's in form, or at least where we'd expect him to be form wise. Ugbo is getting hot tho, let's hope he keeps this up.

Bison44 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Depending on tactics game situation etc your prob only going to bring on 1 striker anyways. Ugbo is integrated into the team and he is hot...first of the bench etc. For the 4th guy who is prob going to just be a happy spectator, why not get Bair in there?? We are going to have to start moving away from the older guys eventually. Reward the guy who is trending upwards.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) 1 hour ago, Joe MacCarthy said: Oh good, another narrative to latch onto: beat Sargent and Hagi Wright in the goal-scoring table. I too would take Ugbo vs. T&T based on recent form. I am not sure what kind of defender he is, and realize he does not have a lot of ball and combination play, but you may need a goal late, you may go to 120 minutes, you need that guy riding a wave. As for Cavallini, his team is doing very badly, and I don't see he is helping them much. I'd take him too, over Bair, but I am not sure he really is the player he was at all.

Corazon Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Ike Ugbo has scored once again to put Sheffield Wednesday over Rotherham 1-0. https://x.com/swfc/status/1763964128975012012?s=46&t=tKRu86Vea8ViJ1G0Nj6cIA costarg, Jack1997, sebdeserio and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Here it is. https://x.com/Vancouverowls/status/1763964508236632077?s=20 Almost identical to what Bair is doing, knowing how to move in the box and one-time it. I really do think they are similar, and unless I watch more, I'd not know how to pick between them. Since Ike committed to us and he's never had a goal with us, I'd love for him to get over that hump with Canada.

Like you said, let's hope it continues and translates into a call. Edited March 2 by DeRo_Is_King Kadenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I hadn’t paid much attention to the bottom of the Championship table but SW are 2nd last with 35 points - yet the next 7 teams are all at 40 or less (with the next 4 on 38 points so a single win would reel them in). Didn’t dive deep enough to compare upcoming schedules but it looks like SW has a path to escape relegation. 24 total teams so I assume they play 46 total games during the season. That would give them 9 more games to scrape together enough points for safety. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both D & L are not pure 9's, their ideal role would be playing off the striker. David/Bair would be interesting. @Kevin: where are we at with those friendlies? I still don't feel Canada should be playing 2 strikers vs tougher competition, our midfield just isn't strong enough.

Or you ask one of Larin or David to play behind the other and support the midfield. I thought David could do this, but now I see Larin more, he's a lot better with the ball than I ever imagined. Ugbo and Bair are more for that final touch in the box. I am all for either, but if they are alone, I am not sure they have hold up, not much passing or combination play, not so great working with mids. So that limits you whereby David and Larin are able to move the ball with the team. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize Bair is often lone striker for Motherwell, when they play hoofball they rely on his exceptional level of physicality and hold-up. He’s comfortable driving with the ball too, often looking to deceive his defender, though sometimes he has his head down and holds on too long, couple times vs Rangers he could’ve sent his teammate through on goal but didn’t and gave the ball away. Can’t comment on Ugbo as I don’t watch him but in my eyes, Bair is much more complete than you give him credit for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeRo_Is_King Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I feel like there's a debate brewing about taking him or Bair because of how in-form both are. My opinion is, with no disrespect to Bair, I think you go with Ugbo. He has more CMNT experience, proven himself in Ligue 1 and is scoring in the Championship. It would be a shame to see him left out after finally scoring regularly again. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Have to take Ugbo...if Millar is almost an auto call up at the crowded wing position, how can Ugbo not be the 3rd striker and an auto call up the way he has been scoring. I realize he has been less than exciting so far for canada, but a guy on that kind of run in that high a league..he has to beat our Cav or any of the other (JRR,Brym etc). And I would take Bair as well. Prob just ride the pine, but we need to show these youngsters that if they are killing it at their clubs, they'll be able to force their way into camps eh??
