Surely we need a big target man up front... (1 Viewer)

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

It's so obvious I must be wrong. We're lumping the ball up and it's coming straight back. Even someone like Clive Platt , who wasn't the quickest off the mark , would do a job. The players we have up front aren't physically able to cope with a line of 6 ft defenders week in week out.

Nah you lump it forward and hope their players make a mistake and one of your 5"6 strikers capitalise on mistakes......

On an earlier thread I sort of suggested Rose in that role. After yesterday I'll forget that idea and move on.
There's nothing wrong with long ball but don't just lump it. Play intelligent balls that the strikers or wingers can run into.

........ but the midgets we already have are far cheaper than buying someone we need urgently.

The only way to score with hoofball is from free kicks and corners. So in that respect a little un that harries a defender into a mistake is just as effective. But you still need someone who is capable of putting the ball in the back of the net, be he big small fat thin old young.....

Yep, two midgets have got to be cheaper than one big lump.

Big lumps are in demand

I'd take a goal scorer over a target man. Despite his height Beavon seems to know how to get on the right side of defenders and create something. The pass he made to Rose just before his cross come shot that had the keeper scrambling was decent and from a midfield position that none of our midfielders would have been able to think about let alone play

No but he's good at falling over his ponytail.

I watched Lincoln v Ipswich and their centre forward Rhead was a man mountain 6'4' and played a perfect game quite skilfully held the ball and won headers and appropriately laid the ball off. He would cost us a small fee and do a job until the end of season.

I posted about him at the time, whether he could do it in League 1 I don't know but that's the type of player we need.

don't post anymore of your ideas, it looks as though Slade is actually implementing them.

 

[ceetee]

It was worth trying but I hope Slade, like me, now moves on to something sensible, like not trying to turn Jordan Willis into a wing back
