JarodyDCFC Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Is there an argument to say he’s being played on the wrong side of the pitch? He wasn’t bad by any means last night but offered very little going forward. Against Birmingham I remember he looked quite effective on the right wing and created a couple of chances, even getting an assist. Even the goal he scored against Swansea was when he was coming in from the right side of the pitch. He’s more likely to beat his opponent if he’s on that side of the pitch I think because he can’t cut inside and run into trouble. Plus, he seemed to link up with Byrne when playing there against Watford, and it actually led to the own goal. Not sure why we’re so insistent on playing Waghorn on the right and Joz on the left because it makes us so negative in possession, they always end up cutting inside and playing the ball back to our defenders because there’s no space in the middle of the pitch.

I am not sure our awful pitch suits him either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Seems a bit like Abdoul Camara only cost 3 times more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s definitely better on the right, where the rapport with Byrne was immediate. His strength is movement off the ball and receiving it in tight spaces and turning the the defenders, especially since Bielik’s injury those passes haven’t been coming, with players opting for the easy sideways and backwards pass too often instead. confidence is low and perhaps the physical demands, this season especially of the championship are taking its toll. In my opinion we will see the best of Jozwiak next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Looked very good in his first couple of games but now looks a shadow of his former self. was poor last night again, offered nothing and just bumbled through the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Needs a rest, for his own sake. You can sense people lying in wait before the game ready to overanalyse everything he does, forgetting all context and ignoring the performances of those around him, ready to frantically bash their keyboards to tell us how poo he is as soon as he makes the slightest mistake.

JustOneBiblicalKazim Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Definitely think he’s a right winger rather than a left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Martin Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think we will see a big improvement next season for Jozwiak. Having only ever played in the Polish League it's a massive change to move to the Championship which is such a physically demanding league. Not to mention a new country, new language, new culture to all adapt to, and unfortunately these things take time. With a proper summer to recover hopefully the pitch will be back to it's usual slick self next season too as that would definitely suit Jozwiak a lot better.

Tyler Durden Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Looking through the recent comments am curious on what evidential basis do posters think he will be much improved next season as I can't see anything to lead me to draw that conclusion from historic performances?

Sparkle Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 He will get a rest after the international break when he isn’t allowed back in and has to quarantine probably - just making a point that the next international break is going to cause chaos to a lot of football teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad1919 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I said it in the matchday thread last night but that is now 1 goal and 2 assists in 28 appearances which is an awful return for such a big attacking investment. It just isn't happening for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus coming from another country into lockdown, so hasn’t been able to visit family or they visit him - and his mate is no longer on the pitch with him.

Rammy03 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Jozwiak is better running into space, check the goal he scored against Netherlands. When he plays on the left, he always seems to come short to pick up the ball and then ends up running into trouble. Put him on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice pass he played into Marriott and the cross for Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
