He’s 22, give the lad 12 months to get used to the league, find his composure and maybe strengthen up. Does so much right, just lacking a little bit of end product at the minute. He’s signed a 4 year contract, I still have high hopes for him.

Like braddy I have high hopes as well. Hes got height pace and skill. Last night he was unlucky, he was clipped. Hes only going to get better. He needs coaching on one or two things , he will cone good.

Promises much delivers little at he moment not a patch on Hugill imo He's had nowhere near as much time as Hugill did to develop, it took years for him to look good. Riis needs time to develop and Evans coming in will only help him learn what is required from a lone striker at this level. |

Got everything to be a great player. Just needs game time. I think him and Potts are similar, not much between their ears!
When we’re defending a lead he’s a great option.

He even ended up out on loan didn't he ? |

Personally I go back through the posts here and this season (hopefully not jinxing it) he's looking like the best striker we've had since Fuller.
Ok he didn't finish the chance at 1-1 tonight, but still able to notch to save the point.
Is that 3 league goals plus 2 in the cup so far?

Strikers need confidence and it seems he's got it.
Not only his goals but the constant hassling of the opponents back line.
Finally playing him to his strengths which we stopped doing under AN.

As far as I am concerned Riis still has a long way to go......both at Bristol and last night I thought his touch at times was terrible and far too often he turns to go on a run and just loses the ball. His passing is not great. Also needs 3 chances to score one goal.
What he does do is create a presence, a target for others, never stops working pulling defenders with him, he can run with the ball and when he succeeds, without losing it, opens up defences and can finish within the 6 yards box.
Main issue though are the half chances he does not take that a top class Championship striker would bury. Sinclair remains a much better finisher although he doesn't contribute anything like as much outside the box.

Certainly not a patch on Fuller yet, but seems to have all the tools in his locker to become a real quality striker.. his 1st touch seems a bit 50/50 more like Hugill-but if it can be improved he could be that 20 goal a season man if we keep playing to his strengths and we keep playing teams that play a high line!!
Any team that sits deep and gives no space behind-he may as well not be on the pitch..

I do agree somewhat in your statement, but 33% conversion rate of chances is not too bad for the money we paid. If he does have this conversion rate we need to be able to create the openings, then his rate may go up. He came unstuck last night when the ball was played tight into his feet, it seemed to hold him up and therefore his pace suffers. He is better running on to the ball than getting it into his feet and turning IMHO |

For what we can afford he's as good as we'd get. All strikers miss chances. They used to say that it'd take Andy Cole 3 chances to score, but the thing is he's getting into those positions to get the chances and score them. If he scores 1 from 2 at this rate he'll be the 20 goal a season striker we've been craving for so long If he was perfect and scored every chance he wouldn't be with us and would be starting for Denmark. |

I don't think you can begin to compare Riis with Fuller. Ricardo was up to speed from the start and went on to do it in the Prem. I'm not expecting thsi from Riis. I also tend to think that an expectation of a 20 goal a season striker is a thing of the past.....top strikers in the Champ these days are on i5 or 16 goals a season.
I do agree though that you have to be in position to miss a chance and he's doing that. His goals are coming from within the 6 yards box...outside of it I think oggy is right when he refers to the ball getting stuck under his feet. He just looks a bit awkward to me...but I also recall what Steve Bruce said about Hugill after the latter got a brace at Villa Park...words to the effect that 'he's not pretty to watch but my God he's effective'.
Riis is doing a good job for us at the moment, you can't fault his commitment, but you can see where there's still room for improvement...I suppose the reality is that if he was the finished article we wouldn't have him.

I might be in a minority here, but I love watching the lad, love his attitude, his positivity and determination to make an impact. He's got weaknesses...but if he didn't, he wouldn't be playing for PNE would he?
The best thing we can do is enjoy the madness, the unpredictability, not groan when he traps one further than Maguire can kick it, keep behind him and watch this lad fly.

He’s got 6 goals. He’s likely to get 10 plus in the championship this season and then people will look at him!

If its Riis or Evans its a no brainer still dont understand why we signed him another desperation signing to go on the long list Riis is younger fitter and more mobile and will get better with game time Evans time has gone

A Riis / Evans combo could be decent now. Both work hard.
Pleased Riis has committed to three further seasons.
If he’s not poached.

If we are playing 3CHs we need movement up front and Riis & Maguire provide that. Evans & Sinclair don't |

He’s signed a 4 year contract, I still have high hopes for him. . Good comment in hindsight. Think he is growing in confidence and has more to give - before we lose him to Clubs with a bigger Wallet. That is the scheme of things, so we need to find the next Hughill /Riis. Have we the Scout(s) to do this or are we relying on a Computer nerd? Not disrespecting the guy we have employed because I do not know exactly what he brings to the table, but how do we find the next Striker. Ring Peterboro? |

Interesting to go back to when we first saw Riis. Looks like most of us rated him from the start!

He matched Cressy yesterday - 16 championship goals. Nugent managed 15 so he’s done very well.
