Colak

[Pvt. Hudson]

Did he actually touch the ball tonight? Where was the fight and dig? Sakala isn’t the greatest but he would have ran his heart out tonight.

A very frustrating and disappointing night and you couldn’t give any of the players any pass marks. They were all mince.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

If you watched the game then you would know the answer to your first question instead of trying to be sly!

 

[Ubik]

he missed an absolute sitter but his overall play over the last 2 games has been poor.

 

[snoopyboymason]

Is he any better than Itten?

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

A signing that really makes little sense with how we play and how he plays.

Edit - fine, it makes sense and I love him

 

[mustn’t grumble]

Really don’t see what more he could have done. We could’ve played an extra two strikers with him and still not scored from open play.

 

[Stupots]

An excellent signing in my honest book.

The rest of you will eventually come round to my way of thinking.

:shh:

 

[Pvt. Hudson]

If you watched the game then you would know the answer to your first question instead of trying to be sly!

How am I being sly? He done nothing, not a thing.

 

[UnionBear]

Is he any better than Itten?

So far, absolutely not.

 

[grant1986]

I’ve not been impressed so far, I have to say. Won’t write him off just yet though.

 

[YOGI_GER]

Worrying

 

[Mview83]

He looks very poor.

 

[Fairbrass]

The entire team were an abomination.

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

I'd be playing lovelace infront of Colak thats how bad he is

 

[themightyi]

I wasn’t excited by him signing.

However, he’s getting no service and the nearest Rangers player to him is about fifteen yards away at the best of times.

He’s here now so we need to give him time.

 

[Michael Mols]

Not sure why anyone has high hopes for him. Look at his career history. He’s a journeyman striker who’s never exactly set the heather on fire apart from a short spell in Sweden.

I think he’ll get goals against the SPL dross but He’s never going to be near the level of Alfie or a fully fit Roofe.

 

[IrvineLoyal]

reminds me of the Mexican Diddy we had under Pedro

 

[The Predator]

Eduardo Herrera / Colak.


That's where he is.

 

[Ubik]

I'd be playing lovelace infront of Colak thats how bad he is

sakala is getting a very rough deal by gio and you

 

[Samod85]

He has to do a lot to convince me that he is of the standard required

 

[Recoba]

He just doesn't do anything, don't think I have seen a player have so little touches game after game.

 

[Topps]

Its early days but aye its a concern how little he has offered.

 

[Xtal]

The next Garner, Herrera, Itten type of striker who is tall and lacks mobility or any decent attributes.

Why we sign these planks of wood is beyond me, hate those types of strikers.

Is he better than Morelos, Roofe, Kyogo or Giakoumakis? Why bloody sign him then

 

[Chris01]

Absolutely garbage player.

Would start Sakala over him every time.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

He is a huge issue in this side at the moment. Completely ill-suited to the system.

No real variation to his movement, always hanging on the last defender even when we're knocking it about 40 yards from goal. Just looks lost.

 

[Laudrup is God]

Itten with a new haircut

6ft 2 plays 5ft 8 honestly zero threat

 

[DerekSSR]

He touched the ball when he fired one across the face of goal and no one got on the end of it, it's natural he will be the whipping boy but honestly no one gets pass marks for me.

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

sakala is getting a very rough deal by gio and you

Sakala is just as bad tbh

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

How am I being sly?

I just told you!

 

[Blueboo]

The guy needs support but with no attacking midfielders and I can’t remember Barasic getting a decent cross in. What chance has the guy got.

 

[AnglianBear]

My worry is his lack of any real movement. Yes he drags defenders around a wee bit but theres no point when there is no one else up there with you.

I cant remember, any time in the last 180 minutes, where he has come into midfield to try and get involved - the way Morelos does when play is passing him by.

He's just not Alfie is he.

 

[jweebear]

To be honest the service just wasn't there tonight for him, we passed the ball to death.

 

[wee_bear]

We aren’t playing for Colak, sure he should’ve got on the end of that chance first half but the service he is getting is non existent.

Very worrying that the coaches and management think they can play their way into games so passively.

 

[Clay Davis]

So far he reminds of Herrera. He’s just kind of there and nothing else.

 

[IbroxForever]

Terrible signing. We need pace and power and once again we sign a slow forward.

 

[BlueSeaOfIbrox]

Meant to be a Defoe Replacement I guess. Doesn't offer much but get the ball to his feet and he should score.

Hard to judge him fully when he gets almost no service. But I agree we could have done better for a backup striker.

 

[Leo_Ger]

He created the one chance in the second half that was an easy tap in if anybody made a run.

Sakala wouldn't have managed to make the defence move the ball any quicker, the midfield less static or stop Jack and Kamara constantly giving the ball away tbh.

 

[luckywhitefeather]

Looks like 1.8million was overpriced.

We spend 7million on a winger, 4 on a left back , yet less than 2 on a striker

We got lucky with Morelos , going to be very fortunate to get as good as that in that price range again

 

[Homelander]

Would have been better with a traffic cone up top tonight

 

[Chris01]

He is a huge issue in this side at the moment. Completely ill-suited to the system.

No real variation to his movement, always hanging on the last defender even when we're knocking it about 40 yards from goal. Just looks lost.

Looks like he’s won a competition to play

 

[WATP1979]

Guy scores two goals against us and we buy him, that’s pretty much it. Doesn’t look anything like an upgrade whatsoever on ANYONE we had/have

 

[RFC56]

He looks like a striker who doesn’t do much outside of the box which isn’t ideal for us. Needs to up his game in that regard.

 

[Bear84]

Another 10 or so performances like that and his strip might just need washed.

 

[ShieldhallBear]

Did anyone put in a ball or attempt to pass to him? Goldson, Tav, Goldson, Sands, Kamara, Goldson, Tav, repeat. He had 3 players around him all night, completely isolated, don’t think he could’ve done anything whatsoever.

 

[SpandauBear]

He’s a typical box striker if you ask me. Think he’ll do well domestically when it’s one way traffic, but Morelos gives us that extra bit of power and desire that is still, at this stage, irreplaceable.

We need Alfie back badly!

 

[Leif Erikson]

A lazy, panic signing.

Panic? It took months to get him

 

[sw26]

Actually crafted one of our better chances of you can call it that when Kamara played him in and he spun the defender before flashing across goal. Ironically one where you’d want him to be in the 6 yard box looking for the chance, as it was everyone else was on their heels looking at him.

He’s looked unconvincing so far but let’s be honest he’s a distant second choice striker beyond Morelos who we spent a couple of million on, he’s not going to play all that much once Morelos is fit.

 

[GeckoBear29]

Is he any better than Itten?

2 competitive games

 

[Bear84]

He looks like a striker who doesn’t do much outside of the box which isn’t ideal for us. Needs to up his game in that regard.

29 year old strikers are unlikely to make fundamental changes to how they play.

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

How he never got on the end of the cross in first half from Tillman amazed me, outside the box dropping deep he's woeful.
