Ciftci
- Thread starter Deacster
- Start date
I'm not sure how ciftci is getting so much stick. If I remember rightly his first game against he Scunthorpe nearly scored a header which would have got us back to 1-1 before we went to 10 men. Against mk dons he rattled the bar and got himself through on goal. Against Blackpool he had one of the only meaningful shots on target from which we got a corner and scored to make it 1-1. 3 of his 4 games we've been down to ten men, actually looks like he's got a bit of quality just needs a goal. How do we know Taylor is going to be any good at this level, no evidence to suggest that as we know this is a step from league 2 he wasn't exactly setting league 2 on fire. We had no budget apparently to sign any proven scorer at this level.
Ciftci not scoring for us atm I can accept.
But to say the guy isn't trying?? wtf are you watching?? :think:

I think simply you ask yourself who would you prefer upfront in the system Adams plays.
Jimmy Spencer or Citfci. For me, it's Spencer all day long. Yet l recognised we needed an improvement on him in league one.
I dont think Citcfi is a bad player. However, Blissett showed the other night the work rate required in an Adams team if you not going to regularly score.

I think Ciftci is one of those players with a demeanor that makes him look like he's not trying sometimes. He's certainly not a "blood and snotters" type who chases everything but that doesn't mean he's a bad player. Added to the fact it would take most players several games to "bed in" but in his case this has coincided with a few nightmare games the team has had so I think it's too early to judge him fairly. He has shown glimpses of quality and hopefully these will become more frequent as he, and the team, get to grips with this season.
Ciftci, to me, is still trying to get up to fitness. He's been subbed in all his games so far, which shows that he cannot last a whole game, and I suspect that he is still trying to get that match sharpness that is needed when he does get match fit. Adams is giving him game time in order to get his fitness up quickly.
He came straight into the team when he was signed, and I think he is still playing catch up, especially as to how he was treated at Celtic, with no pre-season and had to play with the development side before his transfer.

I look at two important qualities in a forward, of which l feel you must have one that stands out.
Pace or physicality.
To me it's not like he is real slow or can't hold the ball up. However, he doesn't really seem to excel at either.
It is early days and the one thing that gives me hope about him is his awareness of others around him.
If he is struggling for fitness though shouldn't Adams of known 2 games in 3 games would impact him severely?

Is there any future for him at the club now?
Unused sub for games with Wigan, Bristol and Fleetwood and only a very late sub in the Checkatrade to take a penalty. He is rapidly becoming the new Nardiello.
I think if Taylor returns next month he will return to Scotland (probably with an "injury".

I would only judge him when he's had enough chances to score. Hasn't registered yet but no service, he's having to create?? shows some promise with awareness. Never a lone striker as previously used so it's difficult to judge until he is played off another striker. If that ever happens.
