Not much to go on of late with Ivo Grbic missing from the Rizepor team for the last month, young Owen Hampson not yet making a start for Dunfermline and Louis Marsh only starting one game so far at Fleetwood.
ROCHDALE FANS VIEWS ON JILI BUYABU
“Buyabu has impressed me during his time with us so far.”
“Pure sexual tension whenever he’s on the ball”
“Athletic, pacy, can skin a defender but needs to work a bit on crossing. Learning the game the right way playing men’s football”
“Have been impressed with him. A real athlete with good physical attributes to get up and down the left flank. Can play also. Technically astute and capable of putting a good cross in the box. Defensively is improving each game he plays too.”
“Quality player”
“been really impressed when I’ve seen him”
“Buyabu is decent”
“We are in a spoilt-for-choice scenario on the wings with Okeke, Buyabu, Allarakhia and TAR.”
“Buyabu looks like a rabbit in headlights on the left hand side.”
“Buyabu looks to have had all attacking mentality drained from him as his time with Dale has gone on”
“lightweight”
“he’s the definition of average, not good not bad but our fans only slander players if they’re really really bad. Shouldn’t be like that. If they’re anything less than capable of winning promotion then they should be out the door”
“This guy was done for me once I saw he decided to taunt the Bromley fans moments before he crumbled and allowed our lead to fall away, His attitude is shocking and turns off way too much.”
PORT VALE FANS VIEWS ON ANTWOINE HACKFORD
“Hackford is a really poor footballer. He’s fast and technically okay but positional he is so bad. With his pace, he should be finding space but he never does or can. He’s so easy to defend against 99% of the time.”
“He’s crap”
“Whoever scouted Umulo and Hackford needs sacking off. I didn’t think it was possible to sign someone as poor as Hackford but we have outdone ourselves.”
“I thought Hackford was bad but this new lad makes Martin Paterson look decent.”
“Hackford will never be good enough for me.”
“Sadly we will have to see Hackford if Rico is out for a bit and Paton out on loan but the lad is garbage”
“I’m not seeing enough from Hackford to be confident in him stepping in”
“We’ve got another few months of Hackford but if we have to rely on him and he does nothing then Moore will be through the door on the summer”
“Moore persists with Hackford over Paton for one simple reason and that’s stats.In the leagues in their natural positions Paton has started 8 games in his natural position and has 1 goal and 1 assist. Hackford has started 6 games in his natural position and has 3 goals and 1 assist. Hackford has a better goal contribution when starting than Paton does, in 2 fewer games and double the total contribution.”
“Hackford did as much as anyone to give us a win at Doncaster”
“Hackford has one thing no other striker at the club has & that’s pace”
“Hackford is better than many are giving him credit for and I think he would score goals given the service offered by the midfield now available, so I’m happy with him as a bench option.”
“Hackford can score, offers the pace that none of the others do and will improve for playing in a 2, which he hasn’t so far”
“he is improving id say ,ok Saturday he should have had 2 goals but because we won game we can give the lad credit for getting in them positions”
ST JOHNSTONE FANS VIEWS ON SAM CURTIS
“Mckenna looked much better than Curtis on the right.”
“The lad Mitchell looks a better option than Curtis, more composed”
“Curtis pretty anonymous”
“Curtis wasn’t getting enough of the ball”
“Curtis did pretty well in my opinion and I probably would of kept him on”
“Curtis looks direct, hard-working, capable of providing us with a much-needed outlet out wide and willing to get stuck into a battle.”
“Sam Curtis impressed today, very composed considering he’s not long turned 19”
“really good signing for me”
“He looks good”
“looks very solid.”
