 Welcon y toffi TV, I'm joined by Tom in the studio o'r somnone. As T-Logic on Twitter, dda'r oledys, a T-Logic. A T-Logic 1991. There you go, make sure you've given a follow. Gwde beth o'r onion, scouting as well and analytics on all that, love it, love all this shit. Piff light, I call, just someone that said he did today, went, piff light today. Rwy'n aws, he's light did you add, aye? He's the easy. Am ys pad o'r on. Wel, welcome mate. Wel, T-Logic yw'r siat efo'r dom yn y Calvert Llywm, cos wai, naw, fly yn topscor yn y Premio Leac, i weld one o ddim. A'n jyst wedi, he's underrated, really, a keep saying this thing of some people saying he's championship level and whatever. And this isn't just because he started the season with four goals, he's had a great start of the season, but I'm just talking of his overall progression, I think probably, probably since Duncan Ferguson took over in December, I think Don's gone up another level. In fact, he only had four goals until December last season, until Duncan took over and then obviously finished with 15 and he started this season brilliantly so. I mean, what's your take when people say he's a championship level striker? Yeah, I think that's a silly comment to make really. I mean, when you look at him before Duncan took over with Sylvette, and even with Cumin when we were speaking before him, he was getting played out of position, he was getting played in the right wing back at one point in, against Stokes. So, I mean, I think it's nonsense, I think he scored 18 goals last year. I mean, what championship like Stryker would do that now? I mean, Olly Walkins, yeah, but he's going to prove himself well. So, yeah, I think it's a bit of a silly statement there. I mean, you look at the stats and look at the way he's actually progressed. I mean, he was only 22, 23. So, I think from when Duncan Ferguson took a massive step forward, and I think he could only get better. I think his attitude, the way he looks at football and the way he talks in his interviews, I think he's got that mentality where he wants to be at the top. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. I think, one of the things I noticed, obviously, this Duncan took him under his wing and said, you meet man and do this and do that, and he gave up that performance against Chelsea, which was outstanding and all that. And then, obviously, Carlo Ancelotti came in, which is fantastic. And one of the early things Ancelotti said was, I think it was after the New Castle game where we won two, when he got both of them going up there, he said, I've told him to stay in the middle, cos he'll score goals, because I think Ecclidus says he might have had off him, cos he was standing in the wrong areas. He was never going to get the goals we needed him to get. Yeah, well, even as like a kid, he was centre midway, so he's never really had that natural instinct of doing it, but just talking on that game against New Castle, it went out wide, I'm not too sure of it, went out wide too, was it calming or something, and he made this dart and run where I thought that was good. It was a challenge, wasn't it? It was a challenge, wasn't it? Yeah, well, if you go back and watch the camera the way you run, you don't like a little jink in run, so I'm there, and when left, sorry, back post, that was that, no, the championship is not going to do that. I mean, that's a level. People don't really see that as a normal fan, but as analysing it, and I was looking at plays like that, I thought that was fantastic to be doing it, and that was my Christmas, I always thought he never had that sort of nach of wanting a goal, but now I feel like he's come back from, obviously, last season, and he just wants to be a goal scorer, he just loves it, he loves like, he just thrives off it now, I think. There was a time, and I think he said this himself on a couple of occasions, whereas he never used to think about scoring, he just wanted to play all right. Now, you get a carbon if he doesn't score a goal, and I think that's a great mentality for him, because it is that, you've got to have that desire, and that's why the goal against West Brom on the weekend, my favourite goal out of all of us was the fourth, well, obviously, the fourth goal was the pass by Hamers, the rainbow pass was incredible, but that making sure that he was turning that materialising thing over the line. Now, at the time, seeing it live, I thought, I thought he's nicked his goal, and it's right, because that's what you need him to do, but when you look at it again, it was actually going wide, so he's turned it in. But my favourite goal last season, I've said this before, was the one against City, you know, when he robs Coleman's thing, because that's what you want. A 100 per cent, that's what any club wants, I mean, if he leaves that, then you look at any question, he doesn't really want a goal this easy, he's just happy for his mate to get one. I mean, now, the strikers who in the prem, like we've had Llew Cachew in the past, you know, it's not in the Davies school, you know what I mean? That's what you want. I mean, that's what Davies on the map, but Llew Cachew wanted it. That's what you want from a striker. I mean, you're talking about other strikers in the league, I mean, Harry Kane, you've got a Gwerau, you've got the one over the road. I think Tom's got more of a desire to score on what Feminio was, when you put it down, when you look at it, I mean, the only issue really I have with Thomas is overall playing, bringing other people into situations, that's where I think he needs to start developing now. I mean, this year, obviously, it's just to get goals, get goals, but then, as he goes on and on, I think he needs to make more of a career of himself and to stay in the premier. I think he's got to sort of start becoming more of like creative, where you've seen Harry Kane on the weekend, I mean, you know. A couple of his passersbyd incredible. I know, I know, so that's what I think what I want done to do. What are you talking about then, if we're breaking it down, because obviously it's back to goal, plays quite good, isn't it? We've been talking off camera before, sometimes it's the way you receive the ball with his feet, he invites a tackle and maybe he could protect the ball a little bit better, but are you talking about his actual individual play in terms of creating goals as well? Yeah, I think it's both, I think. Look, when he scores three, it's hard to break him down and start criticising him, but when you do see him in open play and he is receiving the ball, he is very square, so when you're square, he can come from left, right, and you're not protecting the ball, and the way he does hold the ball up, he sort of uses his inside foot where he's going, that way, it's just open for defenders. You want him to be more sideways, kind of, where you can sort. Yeah, just to keep him off, and he does that sometimes, but I think a lot of times, he can improve more so with his feet, I think he's very good with his chest, head, but that's all fine. I think more so with his feet, he's got to improve if he wants to go to like Harland level. You look at Harland and he's, you know, obviously people develop in age-wise differently, but I think with Calverloo, and I think if he just starts progressing or better in that sense, and where he's one-on-one ability is, then I think he will just have a very good career in the Premier League. Yeah, I think, I kind of agree with that in terms of the way he takes the ball, in terms of if he's running up people at times, he looks really comfortable running with it, and you're like, go on, you know, do it a bit more, and then other times it'll get stuck under his feet, so maybe it's just, maybe it's a bit of a decision making one-v-one, really. And I also would like him to hit through the ball a little bit more, he's, he tries to bend a lot of his shots, where I'd like him to, this is just me watching him, you know, trying to, he's a Premier League goalscorer, so on just saying, but just for me sometimes, I think if he can get it out of his feet a bit quicker, I think he'll get even more goals, cos I love the fact that he's in the right areas, I love Saturday, the fact all his goals with him, about seven yards out, that to me is perfect, and he's getting into those zones that I want him to be in. I think even last year you looked at his 18 goals, they were all in the box, and I think half of me, they might have been in the six-yard box, so you want that, that's what we're saying, we're not saying, you know, he's terrible, he's rubbish, change him or anything, because he can't hold the ball up. No, it's not, it's about just progressing for his own development, because the end of the day, you know, if you get, you know, he's 22, but a lot of people don't realise that he was a centre midfielder, so it wasn't natural, it was never, it was never a natural position for him, so he is behind on the, on the progression of his development in that position, but when maybe in two years time, and he has sort of got the hang of being in the right place at the right time, then you can sort of see, go back and go right, well what can I do now, can I bring him a charlison, can I find him, can I find the right winger, can I find, you know, and as well like, I mean, some instances where you see him, he's not, he's not aware of where, say for example, the goal against West Brom, Rodríguez played the charlison, but you see him the charlison, you see him see it, I think with Tommy he doesn't see it necessarily sometimes. But it's that, it's, that I'm not going to be right, but it is. You see me going to Tottenhamerswell didn't you, the ball over? Yeah, no we did, but there was one that Alan gave him and he wasn't expecting it, so I don't know whether that's poor from them, or whether it's just, he's literally not used to it. It might be too critical, it might be too critical. No, no, with this. Cos we're not, you're saying, you're saying he is under right this, you know, but I think what you're looking at is you're just saying, if he does this and this, he could get at that level and that's what we want to do. He's got all the attributes to be the top striker in the Premier League. He has got it, it's just, there's one on one. I mean, like I said to you before, there was two incidents and they were, they merit each other exactly the same. A ball got played over, down the wing and he's brilliant, he's athleticism is brilliant, little touch away, and then he's in then. But he sort of comes in, the ball gets caught under his feet and you go, just that, that alone will stop you. Do you think he doesn't back himself enough with, what I mean is, I don't mean in terms of dribbling, but I mean actually just pushing it past someone and running cos he's quick. Yeah, I mean, I don't know really cos I don't think you can see much of that on the pitch. I think it's, I think when he's running down the wing, it's more the right side. I mean, maybe it might change if he was on the left cos he's come back himself. But he's all right footed isn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean that's another thing, his left foot isn't very good at, but it might change if you're running down the wing on the left and cutting in. Might be better, but I think just things like that, I mean he was against talking to me, he out muscled, I think it was Fatsongan, and he was in, he was in and he just... Old the world. Oh sorry, Fatsongan plays your best figure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now Old the world, yeah, yeah. Looks similar. Bells in defence. Yeah, yeah, but he was in. He was, yeah. He was in and he just got caught under his feet and then he got to the edge of the box and the charlasome was on the left and said, but he shows he's done a step over and come on to his favourite right. And I just think things like that, you've got to start using your left or just seeing what's going on. He's just fine tuning isn't he cos he's doing really fine. He's 22. Exactly, he's doing, but I mean if you look at his goals since he got in the first team, like first season under Cwm, he'd had 11 appearances, scored one goal against Hull. Next season 44 games in all competitions, eight goals gone on. Season later 38 games, eight goals, so the same overall. And then last season 15 and 41. So his goals are climbing. He's developing isn't he? And he's developing this season obviously, he's got four and two. What you want players like at his age, you want to go on that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want them just going that way. And yeah, he's got eight, then he's got 13. So he's already got four. Four already. Four already, so he's nearly there. So he's doing, yeah. It's just when, like we were saying last year, I mean obviously the pandemic and all that, obviously effects performance and things like that. But the last 10 games of the season, he didn't score. And you're watching them and you're thinking, well what else are you bringing to the sides? What else can you do? Can you go do the legway for the team? Can you create and do things and set the charles on up or set someone or just be involved? I mean he did go missing in some matches. But like we said, I mean he had chances in them 10 games to score. Yeah, but I mean the flip side to that would be, I guess would be, the games are weird. They're playing every three days. I think the one thing I would say about Don is he always leaves everything on the pitch. I think he takes the charge. I mean the charles are incredible at taking the game to the team. You've got to be missing. I mean the Sheffield United had to be able to bury the post down there. He had opportunities at Liverpool. He had wanted me at the fast, he might have scored. So yeah, just little things. But he's definitely moving in the right direction. And it just makes me laugh when people say he's championship level. Cos it's just like, I just don't know what people are like. You said you've played up front. Like back in the day I used to play up front. Where at whatever level you're at, or whatever, you still should have the sort of capacity where to think of. Maybe we're not, maybe we're different. But you still have that sort of intelligence of knowing. If you're at a decent level, intelligence of knowing where to go and what to do. And when you're watching these strikers, you look at them and you think it's there. It's just them little nuances that just need tweaking. And as he goes on and as he'll get there. Cos he's, like I keep saying, he's got that attitude. He's got the attitude to become an elite player. He's just got it. You can see the way he holds himself in a high esteem now, don't he? I think that's the one thing that I like about what Ancelotti's brought to him. Is his confidence. He feels like he belongs in the Premier League. And you can see that now. You can see just once he knows he's a Premier League player. So hopefully he'll get maybe he'll get 15 to 20 goals this year. I mean last year he got 13. And what will we create? Who did we have who was creating? I mean you've got Rodríguez now. You've got to Corey. You've got Richard from playing on the left. You know, there's going to be a lot of opportunities for him. So I think, yeah, I think he's going one way and it's the top in it. Obviously if he becomes international then that's a different situation. And I mean he should have got a call up against when he was a Solanki was it. Yeah. I mean, but that. I think he'll be in the next. He should be on Merritt. If you go back to see what Southgate was talking about, he was talking about Merritt, weren't he? So he deserves it. If he carries on and he gets to December and he's 10 goals, hynny awch yn eu dynnau hynny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's a bit silly if he doesn't get in there, but if he doesn't, it won't affect him. No, no, no. He'll just keep going. Yeah, he will. He'll just keep going. There you go, Blyrys. Now what you think in the comments are you? Do you think he's underrated? Is he? Are you one of the people who don't think he's good enough for everything? I mean, why don't you think he's good enough then? And who do you want to? Who've you seen, who you think is better than him? Cos, you know, he continues to play well and continues to put the ball in the net. So for me, I think he's brilliant. I do, I think. Can he improve 100% like Tom was saying, there's little things in his game that he can continue to improve on? It'll take him up another level. But for me, I think we'll look at him, to be honest with you, because he's had a great aid and he's hungry like you said. Just put it this way, if he got injured, what would happen? Cos mwy's keen yw bydd lot of people bang on for, hasn't really done it as he did. Well, he's developing now, he's behind Tom and he's, you know, but if Tom got seriously injured and missed 10-20 games, well, where are everything going? So that's what I'm saying, like with things like that, you've got to be careful what you wish for, really. Because when he does, I mean, if he does get injured, I think that'll be more so-benefit to him, because I think more fans will go, well, you know. We are, miss. I mean, you know, it's been linked with him over the last day, so, so. Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
