I've read the post linked below three times now and if that isn't finding fault/ or criticism then i'm an astronaut.
people slag afobe but i bet you this - he is one of the first on the team sheet. if you look he is normally in acres of space (but we rarely find him) and i'm never surprised when he scores. 12 goals now, 1 in 3 games. i'd like to keep him Of course he’s in acres of space, he stands 20 yards...

Correct, it's exactly what i'm doing, having an opinion- which is -some of the stuff posted on the match threads is very Charltonesque at times. If you're offended by that it's your problem.
There is no cunting anyone off in my post-there's not even a swearword in it ( my apologies) they are my opinions.
Fair enough points, but…..
I asked you to check back on the match report, ‘Match thread Millwall v Peterborough KO 3pm.’ as it was there that I had said how good the game and the performances were.
You highlighted the ‘Just back v Posh’ thread, where I asked a question, long after the game had finished, and only because Big Paul had noticed something I hadn’t seen. He said:
“I noticed several times today that Benik was indicating he wanted the ball and where. He was ignored every time.
So, those who want to see him score more need to brief his team mates to give him the ball more.
Simples.”
This alarmed me, so I responded by asking the question,
“Why isn’t Rowett seeing this during each game?”
You saw that as a criticism, but the point I was trying to make in that question was to say that the only person who could brief his team mates to give Afobe the ball more, is Rowett - so why isn’t he doing it? He’s the manager! He picks the team, and along with AB decides on formation and whether to change that formation during a game, as well as highlighting issues he has with certain players during half time, should things need to change.
So if Rowett sees that Afobe isn’t getting the ball where and when he wants it, then surely as manager it’s down to him to tell his other players to support Afobe to help him score more goals, no?
The fact that Afobe isn’t getting what he wants, leads me to think that Rowett isn’t seeing this during the game, or, he’s simply ignoring Afobe, just as the other players seem to be!
Either way, that is worrying, because it means that with more help, Afobe could potentially score more goals, which could mean more potential wins! How much better off would our league position be today, if Afobe had been given that help at the start of this season?
