I'd be looking to keep him as backup and upgrade we want someone in the mould of Scienza on the right. 

Pure greed ... go find another (genuinely unknown) wing genius, we want more 😂

What I don't understand is why Fellows seems so reluctant to take a player on and get to the byline.  When he first arrived he was doing it a fair bit, and he seemed to do it all the time for West Brom but his first thought now seems to be to cut inside virtually all the time.  Seems especially strange given we've now got a couple of options in terms of a physical presence that would thrive on the crosses he could put in.

Absolutely this. I’ve been watching him closely at games and he seems frightened to take players on or lose the ball. Consequently he often checks inside and plays the easy ball. Maybe it’s his confidence but it slows our play down.

watched him last nite and unfortunately hes a bit of a damp squip.hr has two actions going down line but passing back when he cant beat the fullback and cutting inside where there are too many players in his way.He needs to rethink what he does or be replaced

Surprised the level of criticism for Fellows here, although it does seem fashionable to highlight him.

His shooting has been poor, now a confidence issue, but for me he seems to have exceptional close ball control - possibly second only to Scienza- and can deliver a decent cross. We’re a better team with him in it when he’s firing in my view. 

We pissed him about a bit early season as a WB. Had he started the season with a Larin or fit Stewart he’d have had a few assist credits to his name. 
 

He’ll come good.

Azaz could really make that position his own. As long as Tom doesn’t stray inside.. No-one wants to see fellows in the az hole..

..and god forbid if Wood decides to play a little further up the pitch.

Surprised this went unnoticed for so long.

Fellows needs to get a goal, any type of goal! 

He's still plugging away and draws in players but you can see his confidence for shooting is waning. 

I’m hoping he joins the unlikely heroic scorer of an important goal club soon, possibly in the SF.

A select club with Hugh Fisher, Paul Gilchrist, and Terry Curran as members.

Surely there are some more recent members than those three, but I'm struggling to think of any right now.

Perhaps Shane Long in the Anfield SF, (although a more regular scorer than the three I list). 

[Saint Pete]

Brett Ormerod?! Probably less Saints goals than Shane Long?

[saintwbu]

Surely Gabbiadini? - whoops just seen ‘unlikely’, guessing a striker scoring wasn’t ‘unlikely’, although that’s up for debate with some of our recent ones!

He’s excellent at dragging the ball to the byline with a couple of step overs and then successfully completing a cross - occasionally.

Aside from that he his been very non-existent.

 

Bumping this.

More evident by the game.

The more worrying thing is losing the ball is stupid areas of the pitch.

Last season he was a bit prone to playing blind passes inside when under pressure.  

[CSA96]

Thought he put some two or three good balls into the box today, unfortunately it was before Larin was on the pitch

[captainchris]

He has looked poor for quite a long time now and also without one goal or even looking like scoring. … Fellows needs to have a loan or few months in the stiffs to develop his game more. Certainly he needs a rethink… 

[revolution saint]

His finishing is pretty poor but it always has been.  We brought him in for assists and he did an OK job last season with that despite playing a fair chunk at RWB.  Thought he put a few decent crosses in today as well and if Larin (or someone better than BBD) was on the pitch then it would be a different story.  Most of the time he's playing as an inside forward though and not hugging the touchline and that's not his position.  He's a winger who gets dangerous crosses in so play him that way, none of this cutting inside bollocks, just let him concentrate on what he's good at.
