You really would think a Spaniard would have good technical ability to strike the ball (towards the goal). I raise you Baccuna The one that nearly broke the net at QPR and banged a few 25 yarders in 🤔

I don't follow Greek football but the economy in Greece was on the rocks not long ago so I would not expect a decent transfer to be received from that area. Anyone got a better idea of the state of Greek football?

Pipa had 1 wayward shot at Wembley. Presume thise banging on about it never watched the season behind closed doors. Scored 3 goals from outside the box, fair enough, Rotherham was a huge deflection. Hit the woodwork numerous times and produced some saves from keepers.
Could be wrong, but sure he was 2nd in our assist chart too.

Don’t forget about those two ridiculous long range shots against Luton in the second leg which were just as bad as his attempt in the playoff final. The rest of our team were playing sensibly and trying to run the clock down. He could have cost us. Pipa doesn’t care though; it’s never about the team for him, it’s just about Pipa.

Bold statement.... proof? Could say the same about Sorba and Holmes the amount of times they have shot when a square ball was the best option.

I can't remember the 3rd of the 3 goals you're talking about but the 2nd one was straight at the keeper who made a total mess of it, Millwall away I think

People moaning he is having shots yet moan when we dont shoot. Our fans are the most fickle I know. Moan when we pass around, moan when we shoot. Moan when we dont create, yet scapegoat our creative players. Pipa is a talent, and those that dont see that in my opinion, know the square root of fuck all.

I’d throw your last sentence right back at you and suggest that anyone who thinks Pipa is a talent might need to reconsider. He really doesn’t offer us much.. He has a few tricks up his sleeve, is able to carry the ball forward twenty yards, and has pace, but just because he’s Spanish and played for Spain U21s, let’s not get carried away. He’s hardly a system player. He’s incredibly suspect positionally, physically lacking, erratic, and has a serious lack of end product- Pipa is far from a talent… and that is why Espanol sold him to us in the first instance. Before you chime in and say that he must be good to have played for Spain U21, let’s remember that Isaac Mbenza played numerous times for Belgium U21 - and we all know what a ‘talent’ he is.

Been trying not to bite, reading all our players are shit bile from team miserable.
But fuck me, this takes the biscuit.
Cost a few hundred k. Ran through defences like butter pre injury. Got pace, strikes the ball like a rocket.
What the fuck people expect is beyond me at times.

Cant compare Spain to Belgium U21s. Think you need educating on what talent is.Let me have a go - Amanda Holden is a bit of talent whereas Susan Boyle isnt ? - or flip it over - Susan Boyle has talent whereas Amanda Holden does not - Hope that clarifys it for you. Pipa on his day is an excellent player for this level - its just that he doesnt have many of those days and we need a better player in his position which hopefully will be scouted and brought in.

Anyone got a better idea of the state of Greek football? What a laugh UK Economic Forecast 2022 - 1.8%, with Inflation predicted to be above 10%. UK economy hardly booming - Banana Republic Economics! So Greece perhaps a tad more attractive than UK.

Moan when we dont create, yet scapegoat our creative players. Pipa is a talent, and those that dont see that in my opinion, know the square root of fuck all. he's a talent but he's not as creative as you think and his decision making is crap when it comes to both passing and shooting. The gripe that seems to be shared among a few here with him is that he fails in the same 2 or 3 ways consistently and doesn't learn from it or vary it enough. That said, I like him! He's exciting and direct on the ball and tries to pull off spectacular plays- he often fails but that's what those types of player do. I'd be excited to see him with a full pre season, hopefully he can iron out his common mistakes, if he gets back to the level he was at when he started with us he'll be one of my favourite players again. I think your assessment of town fans might improve if you recognise that posts on here don't contain people's entire opinions about a player

Mbenza is a talent. His attitude is as bad as I've ever seen but he has ability. I don't think there is a single player in the *current* squad who has an attitude problem - and that includes Pipa. I think Pipa is just so desperate to succeed that he sometimes plays more with his heart than his head. If he's still here next season I expect he'll be a key player for us.

He has all the physical attributes and will be learning the mental side of the game all the time. A bit more game nous and he will be an even better player. No young full back has it all from the off, the most common criticism in football is generally about their positional play and knowing when to attack & when to sit back.

One of the highlights of last season was the team spirit and attitude of every single player. It’s why I keep sticking up for Sinani. On loan but that guy gave his all for us. I can’t think of one player in the entire squad who didn’t look committed and enthusiastic.

Find it really strange that a lot of people have Pipa as their scapegoat - he’s a young lad who’s made the jump into a new country, works his socks off, is actually a very good player and has a great attitude.
I genuinely think that one throw in against Forest was enough for people to write him off.
