Kolli, Obikwu, Kamara and Adamson all discussed, although nothing definitive said about Kolli.

I inferred from that. he will be involved. Ever the optimist.

Justin Obikwu however is a figment of our imagination, like some kind of Mandela effect, we all remember us signing this guy but in reality he doesn't exist and we're all sharing the same false memory

I thought he was negative saying while he loves him, he isn't able to be selected

Personally we need him in the line up....

If Kolli isn't at least on the bench on friday then the club really have lost the plot .

I thought he was quite clear Kolli will not be considered even if the team has “9 injuries”. assuming we have 4 or 5 recognised strikers, even all other strikers are injured, Kolli will not play, if

- he doesn’t train well
- does not apply himself in training in every aspect

We know he is not injured and probably getting fitter with the games he had

Something is definitely “wrong” with the kid in the eyes of the coach / club, not saying the club is right or wrong, but something definitely there

I think the club know the potential of Kolli, but they want him to be a player that performs for 90 minutes.

Also, I think they know an angry Kolli could go in with "i will show em" attitude.

From what Stephan said i think he will be picked but he wants to keep the player hungry in training, by not giving any kind of indications, if he has done enough.

Clever.

He'll be in the squad on Friday possibly on the bench, sure he'll get a chance in the team at some point, he just needs to take it

The club has lacked standards for years. The only time we’ve looked like we were getting our act together was under Warburton.

I like Kolli but if he “knows what he has to do” but isn’t doing it then the bigger picture is more important than a game or two, imo. I’m pleased JS isn’t compromising on his standards.

I think when he was talking about Adamson, he answered the question very clearly about Kolli. Whether injuries will force his hand remains to be seen. He literally has one fit striker against the best team in the division - should be interesting

My take from that was that Kolli would be involved, and not just because we're short up top, but because he's been doing what's required of him these last few weeks.

I thought his reply was tantalisingly brilliant - you will have the answer on Friday!

My take is that we will see him involved.

I hope so! If the gaffer and the Club really aren't pleased with him and want to make a point, start Lloyd but definitely bring Kolli on if fit. To do otherwise would be crazy.

in previous season shit fitness has been his biggest issue , usually cramping up after 30 mins if he starts so im going last 20 mins off the bench friday night and ten threads on here sat asking why he wasnt brought on earlier
hes way better than every striekr we have ever had
and is this the start of the kolli as a starter period as hes so much better than kone burrell etc

im hoping he does very well friday and secures a place in the squad .

It’s not just the goal scoring though. As he says in the interview with Clive and Conor Julien believes in defending from the front. He actually says the strikers are his first defenders. Connected to your point about fitness as you have to have the stamina to both defend and attack throughout 90 minutes.

He has to be able to show that he takes defence as seriously as attacking. And passing to colleagues in better positions as much as taking that one in a hundred shot.

It sounds like he’s listening and working in training though, so putting himself in contention.

Absolutely finished if the only other options are Lloyd, Smyth and the myth known as Obikwu.

Even a half fit and disinterested Kolli is more likely to score against West Ham than the above leading the line on Friday.

Mavropanos won't have much to do defensively it seems.

If Kolli does play on Friday the pressure on him will be tremendous as a lot lot of fans have seen it as the second coming and the answer to all our problems.

thing is the last time we was called out by the coach he did the same thing , thought hang on ill stick some effort in and get some time on the pitch , and it didnt last, stephan is right we need to defend from the front , burrelly lloyd can do that as they have the pace and the stamina kolli in all his performances is missing that side of his game , maybe it diet , maybe he just cant last longer than 60 mins as a starter who knows its a shame as he is th best finisher in nthe club but its the rest of the package that seems to let him down maybe he will grab this chance with both hands but it does bother me that hes only started to do it once he sees players ahead of him on the injury list and hasnt done it from the start of pre season , its never been a secret what he needs to do to get a sqaud place
