Our previous boo boy was Madsen, who has survived by being dropped back to a number 6, and it seems he can play there.
Now I think it is Dembélé who is not playing well and is well below his skill level. Also, I think his best position is a number 10, not RW. He's even better on LW for me than RW.
Too many times, he does not run back; he does sometimes, but plenty of times, he does not. Today he lost the ball 3 times and did not run back, one of those was when we were in our own last 3rd, and the defence was under pressure.
This really isn't acceptable, along with losing the ball a lot and also not really creating much. You could say they were all drek poor today, but the constant under pressure QPR defence was decent, along with Madsen.
True, the rest were poor outside the Keeper, back four and Madsen. But at least Smyth (who was also poor) runs back and helps out. Hayden offered little, but at least made a few good tackles. The front two were dreadful, poor, and that must have been Kone's worst game, yet Kone still got two efforts on target.
But Dembélé was the worst, and we have seen him play like this too many times.
Not good enough for me.

Watched the same video he has been a big let down at the 3 or 4 clubs so far and apart from a few flashes with us another dissapointment IMO.
Simply put not strong enough for the hand to hand combat in our league, way too selfish dribbling into traffic and losing the damm ball, no gut bursting runs attempting to make up for his poor decisions, is firmly on the refs radar for throwing his hands up looking for frees so getting nothing there either.
Cannot take a corner or free kick and sulks when he is subed off nowhere close to a team player but JS loves him and is ever present in our starting 11 I throw in the towel  |
Dot forget he triggered his buy clause after what was it six games of being here. the collective gasps at the fans forum when he was presented to the fans was very funny, in time of trouble roll out a new signing is the rangers way and always will be . be intresting to see what the pitch looks like on sat as well |  |

Arguably none of our four wingers have been great this season. |
It doesn't help that they are selected to play on the wings for their weaker foot. They don't get to the byline or deliver a quick cross into the area and instead try and cut inside to shoot (nearly always off target). |  | | |

Yes that trigger baffled me because he had not done much other than 2 corner deliveries that led to goals, 1 on his debut at Sheffield United. | | | |

id love us to try wingers on the correct wings just once , u know get to the by line and not cut in and actually cross a ball , nothing fancy just old school get the ball in the box , i know its old fashoined but seeing smyth saito chair get to the edge of the box and come in only to loose the ball is going to make me invade the pitch one day |
Yeah, I was oddly aroused when I saw Smyth looked like he’d used some initiative and swapped wings but then realised he just taken a ‘long’ throw from the right and he eventually returned for the left again.
Note to self - less arousal. |  |

Dead ball prowess - i've seen him hit a couple of free kicks high, wide and handsome (including in the West Ham game). Can this responsibility be assigned to someone else (or don't take a pot-shot at all if you can't be close to hitting the target)? | | | |

I haven't had time to read the whole thread but I'd imagine Stephan keeps picking him because, for all these legitimate gripes, he does come up with the odd bit of skill in most games that can make something happen.
And I know it's the level below but Blackpool had him just below god status after that season long loan. So yes, he drives me nuts too a lot of the time but it's got to be worth sticking with him, though NOT in every game - not for example at the expense of Smyth when he's just played well and scored the winner the week before. That's pushing it. |  | | |

He keeps picking him currently, cos everyone else is injured!
Unfortunately. |  |

On here, would say there are two that are competing for the boo boy title, so alongside Dembele, we have Varane.
However recently, a third contender has come to pass. Monsieur Kone. |
While I can definitely see why people are disappointed he hasn’t come on as much as we hoped I don’t think people should be getting on Varane’s back at all. He’s made the most tackles in the squad, the secomd most interceptions, a high percentage of his ground duels. He’s got two assists, when Dembele, Norrington-Davies and Mbengue have got zero between them in the league, and a goal. He’s kind of a victim of his own potential at the end of last season as we hoped for so much from him but he’s certainly a big part of our team and we’d need to replace him with someone decent to keep our quality up.
Kone I couldn’t get at either. He has flogged himself in numerous matches, he’s often the cannon fodder to wear out the defence. His touch isn’t the best but he’s come from non league originally so he’s got a lot to catch up on. He’s young, he’s learning but he’s still our second top scorer and got two assists.
Dembele annoys me because of his lack of end product given so many chances in the team - one goal and zero assists in the league - and his wastefulness. This given his undoubted ability and the fact he’s already played at a high level irks me. The other two not at all really. |  | | |

I think he's a 'boo boy' because when he first came he seemed like an absolute star.
However since his first few games he's really flattered to deceive. Still ended last season with 3 goals and 4 assists from 23 games which is OK I suppose, but this season it's 1 goal and 0 assists from 24 games which is pretty poor for a winger.
I imagine he was seen as the replacement for Chair, but Illy looks like he will be staying here for a while now so one does question where Dembele fits in?
I think he's best as an impact sub when the game is more open, but that seems a waste. His level is probably top of League 1. |  |

I don't believe in boo boys as such.
For me it just means the worst performing player. I've seen players go from shite to good, from 'boo boy' to cult hero.
If you're not trying or, worse, just aren't good enough then people will let you and the manager know. At least if you keep getting match time when you shouldn't. |  |

When I think of a 'boo boy', I tend to think of opposition players such as John fcking Terry or Eric fcking Cantona.
There are a few players we've had that have definitely been slow-burning, the most obvious being Paul Furlong 1.0 vs 2.0. Equally, there are those who've started like a rocket before dropping like a brick, say, Ledesma or Diakite. Either way, if they're in hoops, I wouldn't want to boo them, though I reserve the right to a cathartic 'for fck's sake!' or two. |  |

I understand that he's shorter than my 5 year old son and built differently from Chair and even Smyth, but Dembélé's propensity to spend about 50% of his game time on the ground just kills me. Definitely annoys me more than any other player in our squad |  |

See, when I think of John Terry, I think 'C*NT!'
But yeah Paul Furlong was exactly who I was thinking of in terms of turning it around.
I feel like Antti Heinola might have been another. | |

Really? I thought he started ok but then disappeared. He just seems to give up. Tried to tussle then stops almost like he thinks no one expects him to win due to his stature. Needs to come out the team for a bit in my opinion as not offering much | | | |
| Dembélé new boo boy? on 00:13 - Jan 21 with 219 views | Spaghetti_Hoops |
Thought he was regulation poor tonight with occasional contributions which spared him from being rated dire.
JS seems to see enough in him to keep giving him a start. Maybe he is brilliant in training?
Hopefully JS will be able to reconstruct him in time out of the unpromising bits I watched this evening. [Post edited 21 Jan 0:19]

I agree, Oslo. Obviously faded second half but he wasn't alone in that and in the first half was easily out best player in my opinion. I really don't get (like Varane) why a young talented player seems to get so much criticism. He's not playing brilliantly, but he certainly seems OK to me. |  | | |

Stephan has trusted Dembele and has given him an extended run of games. Now however, I think he's only starting him because of the injuries. Once Saito, Chair and particularly Poku return, he'll surely be dropped to the bench. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Vale start ahead of him on Saturday. [Post edited 21 Jan 7:32]

The phrase “boo boy” is often used on here when a player is simply receiving perfectly reasonable criticism over their level of performance on this forum. | | | |

His rare highlights over the course of his time here feel like they’ve almost all been at home. A night for digging in and grafting, getting us up the pitch and all that. Started quite well then decided he’d done his bit for the night on about half an hour. | | | |
