RE: Heggebø - Josh1873 - 09-14-2025
I mentioned on the match Fred he doesn't get half the fouls he should. The amount of shirt pulling defenders get away with when he's holding the ball up is criminal.
He's a great asset at buying a foul in the final third. With our defensive players who are very capable in the air, we should be making more of those set piece opportunities. It's definitely something we need to work on.
Heggebø's hold up play, and that ability to buy a free kick, will be invaluable on the road, in relieving opposition pressure and taking the load off the defence.

I've not turned, I remain unconvinced to the extent others were. I like the kid and I hope he comes good but he's never been a goalscorer, even in the poor Norwegian league.

I like the lad never hides,but he’s in the team as a centre forward
So must get goals which so far he hasn’t
In his defence don’t think the system we play is helping him
Need a big lad up front with him then he probably would score some goals
Does anyone know how his previous team played system wise?
RE: Heggebø - Josh1873 - 09-14-2025
A team needs to score goals. The striker they start doesn't necessarily need to. This expectation on Heggebø to score goals is a little frustrating to me. He's never, ever, going to be a 20 goal a season forward. Nor does he need to be. His game is clearly a hold up forward that brings others into the game, therefore I expect our wingers and attacking midfielders to chip in with more goals this year than he will, which is fine.

Maybe Haaland can teach him a few things on international training.
RE: Heggebø - Lurker#3 - 09-14-2025
You can't expect to score goals if you don't create good, clear cut chances regularly.
We play so many progressive passes, so many key passes and have enough shots. The issue is the type of chance we create, they are always low value chances that rely on a top finish to be successful.
If we start to create good openings and Bo keeps missing chances then we can all discuss his lack of finishing. But at the moment he is having the ball fired into him, back to goal, and we are creating very little for him to finish.

How to shoot would be a good start.

He’s looking like a poor signing at this stage & def overpaid for him. I got criticised for saying strikers need to do far more than just hold the ball up - without goals from the only striker there is no where to go
We haven’t made it easy by selling our most creative forward player and playing a RB who can’t cross the ball but it’s more than that - he just doesn’t like he’s going to score
Think poor signing is bit harsh after 6 games , yes he’s not clicked and maybe he won’t but bare in mind the likes of Broadhead £10 million , Adam Idah £7 million , the centre forward who came on for Derby £7 million , ‘ Boro signed one for £7 million , what did Heggbo cost ? around £5 million but the question is what what could we afford ? Maybe in the budget he’s the best option but it’s fair comment to say if he’s up to speed Maja should have a run of starts
RE: Heggebø - HawkingsHalfpint - 09-14-2025
Josh Maja had scored several goals by this stage of last season. On the strength of yesterday’s showing it is time to drop the Norg. It’s great that he works hard, but my fucking window cleaner works hard also, he’ll never win anything.
RE: Heggebø - Derek Hardballs - 09-14-2025
Ffs the player has been a major reason we have started so well this season. The criticism because he hasn’t scored currently is over the top to say the least.
Go back a few pages he’s getting praised, one defeat and he’s a waste of money, can’t score, should be dropped.
