Jonathan Kodjia - SOLD

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

I don't think Grabbon is that good at holding the ball up either.
The best back to goal man is Davis.
Obviously Kodjia is a match winner has the ability to change a game thats why Bruce will throw him on.
However pump it long and not a much is going to stick.  Doesn't seem to win many headers. thats why it was all hands to the pump in the 2nd half.

But out of the three he is the biggest goal threat.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Someone else summed it up best when he said Kodjia looks like a man confused why his body can't do what he thinks it should at the moment.

That's bad injuries for you.

There's no quick fix or guarantee he'll ever be the player he was before it. And that's not his fault obviously. If anything it must be bloody awful for him

[mr underhill]

absolutely - nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see JK smash in the winner at Wembley

I thought he showed some brief flashes of the player he used to be when he came on. He just didn't get much of an opportunity and anyway we weren't playing to his strengths at the time.

It was always going to take weeks or months for him to find his feet again, he's still very much in the process of getting there. To be perfectly honest a full pre-season is probably the only cure for it, but personally I would start him at Wembley and let Grabban come off the bench for once. I didn't think Lewis had a great game overall at VP and probably should have scored - so he might be more dangerous for us if we comes on at half-time or the 60 minute mark, depending on how Kodjia is doing.

[mr underhill]

I'd play both. We have to go for the throat

[Walmley_Villa]

Could be the ace in our pack.

[frank black]

I do not think Grabban has done enough to start if we play with one center forward. I really fancy Kodjia to enjoy himself at wembley and help us through....however, he will be on the bench

[Brend'Watkins]

Grabban and Kodj together. I'm repeating myself I know but it needs to be said.

[themossman]

It's a really hard one. I fancy Grabban more as an impact sub. I think Jimmy needs to work himself into a game. Hard to judge Grabban based on the last 2 games where he's been a spare part almost by design whereas he looked immense in the run in. Playing both is ballsy and could go badly wrong, not a Bruce move at all. Assume they are both great penalty takers so he might want them both on at the end - does that makes it less likely both will start? Glad I'm not picking the team.

Apart from Alan Hutton, obviously.

[mr underhill]

now that really is a fantasy!

[Risso]

I'd start Kodjia in Albert's position on the left.  Albert hasn't been pulling up any trees for a while now.

I'm inclined to agree, let's give them something different to think about.

[themossman]

I thought Albert played OK on Tuesday and better as the game went on. I think we'd miss him tackling back and creating space by getting chalk on his boots.

yeah

But he has worked hard defensively, you going to get that with Johnny
