In the nicest possible way, he's a Poundshop Dugarry.

I'm not sure he's worth the game price: yes he scores but we can't win a midfield battle against better teams with him in there.

Bloke can create or score a goal out of nothing.

It's absolute madness to be pointing the finger at him. Literal madness.

It's the old Scott Hogan debate. Yeah, he scores a goal and then you're playing with 10 men. Sometimes worth it, sometimes not.

Certainly worth it when playing against lesser teams.

He doesn't create goals though. You think he does, but he doesn't.

Must have imagined his back heel for Paddy Roberts to score at Swansea.

Good memory you have. And since?

We got battered in Midfield against Millwall and similar against Boro. We aren't good enough to have the luxury of Duck against the better teams.

Yet Stansfield gets pelters for not scoring. He’s the only one trying to press or set anything up.

Since then he has scored four goals in eight league games, an average of one in two.

If you really think he is one of our bigger problems right now I'm not sure what to say.

I have seen him create numerous chances with my own eyes. A few for Stansfield who has taken a poor touch at times.

I’m not sure what constitutes as a big chance but I would certainly say he is and has been more creative than Stansfield so them stats have surprised me.

But he oozes quality for this division if we actually attacked with intent and had frequent movement he would be great most games. The problem is like many/all of our attackers the style of play is killing their game.

We are just too lightweight across the pitch and Ducksch epitomises this, he scores goals and has some nice touches but my god he is looks so scared to get physical and is very slow

If we are to pursue with him next season then we need to build a physical team around him

Don’t often agree with Nat but I do here.

If you did that more often you'd be in the right more often

You just can’t help yourself can you?

Absolutely.

He's not an attacking/creative midfielder who scores goals, he's a striker.

But he's being played as the nominal '10' because the manager seems incapable of not playing 4231.

How about the sublime pass for Stansfield versus Leicester?

Ducksch is not a midfielder. It we got 'battered' there, it's not on him.

He's at 0.12 expected assists per 90, which is about a third of what he was on in Germany. He's not been super creative, but there's no other real goalscorers in the team.
