Vakoun Issouf Bayo

A striker scoring from headers.

Legend

 

He's a beast in the air.

 

He had about 5 headers at goal in the first 25 minutes, attacks balls for fun. Solid player as well with his hold up and lay offs and his movement, probably deserves a run of starts but wont get it with Edouard ahead of him.

 

Liked his awareness and lay off for Rogic more than his header..

We know he's got the latter in abundance but his link up play has impressed me a good few time's now. Really like the look of him from what I've seen..

Never seen the night. Was he good all round?

 

Aye, one two's, lay offs and passing were all good. He never recieved the ball to feet that much though, maybe 7 or 8 times the whole game but everything he played quick and precise, seems an intelligent player. Heading wise other than the goal he won about 5 other headers in the box but none were easy to get so they were more skimming off him or him stretching to get them near goal but he won them all.

He looks really good to me everything just seems to come natural to him, never hesitates on the ball, always goes for everything, works hard his movement in the box to get on crosses or cut backs is quality. Early days but he looks like he'd score for fun if we play him every week, hes only played about 6 games for us and in total probably hasnt even been on the park for 3 hours but could have 5/6 goals.

 

Good stuff..

At some point he'll get a crack with Edouard. I'm sure of it..

When Griff is fit and with Afolabi able to step up....we've got enough cover..

 

I've been surprised at his quality, young African coming from Slovakia it seems a punt on the cheap but he does seem the real deal. His allround play looks solid, never see him taking a bad touch or over or under hitting a pass and the way he's always on the move and then positions he takes up in the box and hes a magnet to balls in the air.

Should really have had 2 assists as we should have scored that one that Sinclair ended up getting, the one he rolled to Rogic for the goal was good play as well as I thought he would have shot and could have scored himself.

 

Bayo Bayoo daylight come and he wanna score goals.

 

Aye qeve deffo got a good one..

AIK away his wee cameo was where I maybe first though this boy is a proper player..

He's gonna be vital for is this season and will play a big part..

Aye i don't even think he's that raw now. Seems to be fairly well rounded in the albeit little we've seen if him. He's also very good defensively. His touches and linking up are probably the most pleasantly surprising aspects of his game..

 

Had to laugh at Tam Boyd saying he was unmarked.

He literally twisted his body in mid air to get his head in front of the defender

 

Some man Tom Boyd

 

Great talent, not just a big physical goalscorer but has great footwork and laid off a couple of crackers. Impressed so far.

 

Second choice striker now.

Hope he pushes on and really challenges Edouard.

 

Strong, quick, fantastic in the air, a very useful player to have as back-up.

 

For me Bayo's emergence is the beginning of the end for Griff.

 

Looks a monster in the air.

 

Glad hes got his goal, 3 Quality Forwards now!

 

Nonsense... we need 3 quality strikers with the amount of games we play. One of them at least will be injured at some point like Leigh is now leaving us with two. A fully fit Leigh on his game is as good as the other two.

 

Griffiths still offers us something different from Bayo and Edddy.
