Buttocks Brown Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) SR on the injuries: "I'm not a medical expert, it's a tendon injury. Conor played through it last season, we tried to go very conservative with it. He went on international duty and it flared up again and we had to make the decision to get it done. It was one of those where he was niggling all season - and fair play to the boy for playing. Greg Kiltie - he had the same ankle injury last year and it just hasn't quite settled down after pre-season again so we need to get Greg looked at. Those are two early disappointments for us and we have got a small squad as it is so it is important we get them injuries back as quick as we can. I don't think Greg will be out a long time if anything is needed done at all but we certainly need a couple more bodies in the squad."

If we got offered £250k plus add-ons for Boyd-Munce and were fairly confident of getting a replacement I'd be tempted to take it - but if it's Wigan I'd want it up front given their financial history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a penalty box poacher type I don't think there's anything whatsoever about Mandrons style of play that says 'number 10' to me. He's a target man who plays well with his back to goal, holds play up and can give ball and peel off. That's definitely not a trait of a number 10 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 (edited) Penalty box, between the sticks strikers don't exist any more for the large part and that is because more is expected of a centre forward nowadays in terms of overall contribution. Most play up front themselves or as part of a 3 with wide forwards. The demise of the two man pairing of old means that a proper poacher who stands about and does heehaw doesn't exist. Even look at Shankland last season, very few of his goals were ones where he was hanging out waiting for the chance, he works a lot but has goals in his game too.

SS77 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 17 minutes ago, AW saint said: See him more as a 10. We need a penalty box poacher type He scored 11 goals last season playing as a target man - how does that in any way make him look like a no10? As Chaps says, there is no such thing as a “penalty box striker” in football anymore. You don’t get guys standing around doing nothing up top anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 That's two friendlies and overall, Idowu apart, we haven't looked too sharp in front of goal. Maybe if Idowu can keep banging them in, then this will inspire others to start scoring. Or maybe he'll be the answer to our problem. Mandron will get us goals, but he needs other forward thinking players to start contributing. As it stands, we don't really have room for another front player, so unless one leaves, I think we'll be going with what we've got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get you but there are times in games where we need something different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
