Yes I'm personally logging into all of my other accounts to do the player marks as we speak.fenaddick said:

No way we were second best throughout. We were containing them quite well until the subs.5

The problem for me wasn’t bringing TC off, it was not bringing Apter and/or Hernandez on.
NJ must understand what those 3 offer having so much faith in TC and signing the other two recently.
We need to evolve in the final third and just putting more height, pace and strength on hasn’t been as successful as it was last season.
Combine it with a wide player or two who loves taking players on - even if the end product isn’t there, it can also create more space for others, and make a team sit back more to avoid being countered.
Having Small and TC on either wing was arguably the most important factor in our improvement last season. As good as Bree is, he doesn’t offer a those strengths, and if you don’t start with that on both wings, at least end the game that way when you’re losing.9 -
I want to see a confident and positive TC firing on all cylinders. He hasn't been that since his purple patch last season.
He is not getting on the end of things inside the area because of that lack of confidence and conviction.
He is hesitant in his runs, meaning he's always just too late to connect, or slipping over at vital moments, or getting out muscled by defenders.
We cannot carry on with the TC, Kelman partnership being so unproductive in terms of goals and something needs to change if we are to improve.
I get that his presence is a worry to defenders, but that isn't enough in itself, he needs to start producing.
Very poor passes, such as the one to Carey in the corner, just prior to his substitution actually put our defence under about five minutes of sustained pressure !
He needs time out and then be reintroduced as a sub when the game opens up. In that way, he can regain his mojo.

With TC on the pitch, we had an unproductive outlet. With him off the pitch we had no outlet at all.17

I think that’s a good (and depressing) way of summarising it. Those calling for him to be rested/dropped ignore that we looked worse today with him off the pitch.wolfgang said:With TC on the pitch, we had an unproductive outlet. With him off the pitch we had no outlet at all.3 -

More possession, more shots, more shots on target, higher xg, higher xa, more forward passes and higher pass completion.LoOkOuT said:No way we were second best throughout. We were containing them quite well until the subs.
They were absolutely better than us throughout.2 -
The whole 'TC being on kept us from losing' line is so simplistic considering Preston's best chance was the header when TC was still on the pitch.Croydon said:

I'm on the fence with TC, I can see both "arguments".LoOkOuT said:He come off today and we capitulated. His ability to peg the opposition back and draw two markers is invaluable to the way we set up. Unfortunately, he can’t play the way he plays all game, every game.
However, there is no doubt in my mind that we were equal up to the point he was subbed and thereafter we weren't in it - yes capitulated.
I think the Derby game was not dissimilar.2 -
Not in the game I watched.Croydon said:

We were at least equal if not marginally the better team in the first half.
The second half was reasonably equal although they were marginally better until we made the first subs.
As soon as we made the change I could feel they were going to score and we weren't in the game after that.
It was a similar game to the Derby game, but we were worse throughout.

Derby game they came back into it when we made the subs on 57 mins, not when TC was taken off on 77 mins2

Yes, as soon as we made the first subs in both games.sam3110 said:Derby game they came back into it when we made the subs on 57 mins, not when TC was taken off on 77 mins0 -
Good for him to get the recognition but not so good for keeping him fresh and ready to go for us.fenaddick said:Has been called up for Jamaicas squad for games against Curacao and Bermuda
Their second game over this international window is in the early hours of Wednesday morning, so by the time he gets back it'll be Thursday. 1 day of rest and then we play Saturday.

Glowing praise for TC's performance overnight
Tyreece Campbell - The best player for Jamaica on the pitch by a mile. Majority of what we created going forward came through him and he came close to scoring a number of times. Also delivered a great pass to Nicholson, which Shamar should have scored. If there is any player that can leave this game with their head held high it is Tyreece Campbell. Here is a proposal. When Leon Bailey is back, put Cephas on the bench and put Campbell over there.

Been getting some criticism today but this screenshot for the first goal shows his value. There are 4 players that have been dragged towards him and he still slides in Carey for a brilliant opportunity

And yet again we ended up on the back foot after he went off. Whatever Tanto and Leaburn offer - and I like both - they don’t bother the oppo in the way TC does.7
-
With all the debate about Kelman and TC, we look better when they are on the pitch. As long as we are still exceeding expectations, I wouldn’t expect Jones to change anything, especially since our other forwards aren’t exactly performing at a high level when they come on. That being said, it wouldn’t surprise if we are looking for a forward in the January window0

I just think Tanto can offer similar in a starting berth, and then TC running at tired defenders later on in a game would work better. He also has a better understanding with Leaburn, but Leaburn doesn't press and harry like Kelman does.
For me that's the only major thing I'd change about the way Jones handles the squad overall, I feel like he's got the strike pairings wrong so far.1 -
I just don’t think Tanto draws as many defenders over. That might be because the opposition analysis isn’t there to tell players what to do but I think it’s risky to swap their roles0
-
Hernandez looks to be more of a TC alternative, than Tanto. He also looks to be more productive.
He would therefore probably occupy/worry defenders in a similar way that TC does.
We don't know for sure, because we still haven't seen him!2 -
At 32 doubt Hernandez is going to have the speed and movement of TC, feels like he will be more of an alternative to Bell at LWB when we need to be a bit more attacking when we’re behind in games1
-
I thought he was really poor again yesterday and Olaofe offered a lot more again. Olaofe is just way stronger and gets stuck in whereas TC right now is making so many basic errors.Why can we not just see how Olaofe and Kelman works from the start for one game ffs!
I believe that is our best combo.Anyway, half way to 20 games and no goals for TC and I’ll be revisiting with Callum at that point.TC doesn’t get into any other Championship starting 11.4 -
He didn't get an assist / pre-assist (whatever you want to call it) though did he?CAFC_boi said:I thought he was really poor again yesterday and Olaofe offered a lot more again.

The last two games that TC has gone off, has resulted in the tide of the game turning, because the opposition no longer have to worry about double marking him - What doesn't help TC either, is the fact that we don't have an alternative to him down the other flank, like what we had with Small last season as the opposition wouldn't know who to cover.
We could use Apter, but again we're then sacrificing someone who has two goals, and an assist in the last few matches
Ironic that people have said that TC hasn't been at his greatest from the Play-Offs onwards, which is when Small was largely injured.
He probably gets in a few opposition teams, as opposition fans have been shit scared of him0 -
The issue is yes Campbell was excellent for a 30 second snippet in the game to create the goal.
He didn't do much else for the rest of the time. He looks lost attempting to play second striker, we'd be better off just playing him as a straight winger and look at a formation change.1 -
TC just looked lost yesterday - outmuscled numerous times.1
-
TC started really brightly then fell away as the game went on its almost like he got back from international duty Thursday and has only had 2 proper weeks rest since the playoff final which was in May. Could be crazy for suggesting this but it’s almost like he’s absolutely knackered and his body can’t hack 90 minutes of intense hard work3
-
As someone mentioned elsewhere, our defence seems weaker when TC is taken off. He keeps defenders busy. He runs them down and he runs at them.
He is one of my favourite players and whenever I bring friends, usually they say 'I like that number 7'.
My concern is that if his body and mind are not getting the recovery time they need, he might get a nasty injury.3
