CountryRoyal Yeah look it’s no secret we don’t play to his strengths but he really should be doing better regardless.
4 goals in 30+ appearances says it all for your senior striker. He’s finished under Pauno, don’t see him improving unfortunately under the current circumstances.
If a new manager comes in and finds the best way to play with him then who knows but as it stands it’s pretty bleak.
Puscas has always been at his best playing off the last defender, running in behind, relying on strong service. For that, you’re probably looking for at least a strike partner or deliveries from out wide. We have neither
On the other hand, we have a midfield who want to play intricate passes through the centre and as such, you want a striker partner to hold the ball up and let the midfield play off of you (e.g Swift against Preston)
Just seems to be a general lack of cohesion between the midfield and attack when Puscas is asked to do that role (aside from 30 minutes against Peterborough). It’s a shame as it’s clear there’s something there but we’ve never been able to get it fully out of him and quite frankly at the moment, he’s going the same way as Baldock did last season - not a goal threat and rather ineffective
