Mubama has played around 80 minutes league football and scored one goal. That's a decent record considering he's only getting 20 minutes per game. As others have said we need to adapt how we play when he is on the pitch. He's more of an Ollie Watkins (not suggesting he's on the same level) than a battering ram so requires the ball played on the deck into the channels and down the flanks to get the best out of him. Plus he needs more game time as 20 minutes doesn't give him enough time to hone his game or for his team mates to learn to play with him. 

Again we bring him on and fail to adapt our game to suit his strengths.

He's a donkey - full stop.

I’ve thought all summer we’d regret not pushing the boat out for Lankshear. 

Scored again today. Would have been in a far better situation had we managed to get him in as well.

Yes, I know it's early days, and I'm not about to write him off, but I'm yet to see any signs of what he has to offer... I certainly don't see him as a Larin understudy, which makes the choice of Mubama as our second main striker a tad head-scratchy... 

Still scratching my head...

Agree with the above….

 

With our calibre of wingers and attacking players, we don’t even need a good finisher as Larins back up at this level. We need someone that is good with. Is back to goal and can bring them into play. This lad doesn’t seem to be able to do that at all.

Did well today I thought. Made the right decision in regards to passing to Azaz and was strong to win the ball initially.

Hopefully will get better. Whereas at Lincoln he was useless.

[CSA96]

Agree, looked decent today. Bullied that defender out of the picture, nabbed the ball and then used his athleticism to carry us up the pitch and put it on a platter for Azaz. That's what we want to see more of in his cameos

Needs more minutes. Larin’s legs had gone after his second today and he’s got a busy international break.

The lad's had 118 minutes of league football across 7 sub appearances, delivering a goal and an assist. 

It's a fair return - and while he may have looked lost at times, it's on the recruitment team's heads if we wanted a 1:1 Larin replacement. 

There's early evidence to suggest he has something to offer. Depends whether we choose to play his strengths or not.

Agree, Larin had nothing left in the tank and even gestured to the bench to suggest his game was done, worried when he went off....no need we went and scores two more.

Mubama did exactly what we'd want from him when coming on

Lack of minutes for big money signing Dobbin is a shame , needed a first team ready player for that fee
