coolhandfox Posted 23 January Share Posted 23 January Very underwhelming so far, tidy player but ineffective but like Praet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyrobot Posted 23 January Share Posted 23 January Give him the full 90 mins in the FA Cup in the number 8 role, he shows flashes of quality but I worry about his physicality and size. What he needs is good enough game time to get into the rhythm of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastAnglianFox Posted 23 January Share Posted 23 January (edited) Think he’s more suited to the Premier league than the Championship but obviously that would be a massive gamble on our part should we make it and potential lack of funds in the summer. Im usually pretty impatient with players who seem to offer little in the early stages but for some reason I really think he might be a bit of a player given the time Edited 23 January by EastAnglianFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksz Posted 23 January Share Posted 23 January 8 hours ago, AjcW said: Last night seemed the perfect opportuity to play him in his actual position, i'd say the fact he didn't says Enzo has already made his mind up and the rest of the loan will be going through the motions (like moore says based on starts/apps) It's a shame, the winger I saw in the Champions League qualifiers could have done Ipswich some real damage last night. Gala fans warned that he was a massive confidence player and I think it’s showing right now. There’s a player in there, but he needs a run of games and he’s just not going to get that here. Enzo knows his preferred front 5 so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxile5 Posted 23 January Share Posted 23 January Get the feeling it's an audition between him and Fatuwu for summer signing and it looks like there's only one winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OadbyBlue Posted 24 January Share Posted 24 January (edited) Still not forgiven him for the poor pass through to Mcateer after his excellent pressing work. A better pass there and it’s 2-0. Dewsbury- Hall was guilty of the same poor layoffs a couple of times in the first half where a better pass almost guaranteed a goal, though his looked more like someone caught in 2 minds about whether to pass or shoot rather than purely miss hit passes.

Lako42 Posted 24 January Share Posted 24 January He was the man who should have been tracking the goal scorer on Monday. Just stood and let him drift away and bang the goal in. Must have been too knackered after playing 9 minutes to ensure he put the work in to stay with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoldenGod Posted 24 January Share Posted 24 January He's a below average footballer that's too lightweight and I can guarantee we won't make his loan permanent. Add it to the list of failed RW options. Thankfully Abdul is a proper gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who has been given way more game time? I think Yunus hasn't really been given much chance to settle or get up to speed since his move. I would have liked to see him more often as he looks a decent player. Difficult when the regular starting 11 are on a record breaking season though. I think he will continue to struggle for game time and I suspect many have already written him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 24 January Share Posted 24 January Difficult for Yunus to impress when he gets 10 minutes at the end when we are generally not interested in scoring because we are either seeing out comfortably or hanging on. But then it's hard to justify he should be starting anywhere. Big opportunity for him to get an assist on Monday if he took a bit more care with the pass (at least I think it was him) He should start this weekend and he really needs to impress. Play him as a more traditional 10 behind Vardy and I could see that potentially being effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Macca and Hamza are asleep and play him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! Looking back, Vesty is the only one facing back to our goal when the shot is hit but doesn't anticipate a rebound. Yunus is pretty much in line with the fella laterally, although in his mind he's stepped up and knows the lad is behind him, so not a danger. Think it's probably harsh to blame him, especially as he did track his man and then did the right thing stepping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will1981 Posted 24 January Share Posted 24 January Need to stop playing him or we will be forced to spend the 10m obligation fee to sign him in the summer which could be spent better elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordersfox Posted 27 January Share Posted 27 January Gave that some welly today didn't he and a decent showing all round second half. Still think he's got a lot of potential but feels like he may not get to show it here. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is he looks like a number 10 for me, 8s a bit too much for him That being said, he had a decent game today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like him as a player in general, looks technically excellent, but I’m not sure he is an 8. Has to be out wide or as a 10. He needs more physicality/a better engine to make it as an 8 in our system, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 27 January Share Posted 27 January A midfield of Yunus and Sensi would on the light side (potentially) but maybe Sensi has needle and Yunus can get it from…somewhere) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah think that's a fair observation mate. We all live in a world of immediate gratification and Yunus is a prime example of a player who may have been with us a while but, really, we've barely seen him beyond fits and starts. Think he'd do better alongside Wilf or KDH who have that physicality and engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
