Striker, he is not. tempted to rubbish you but you may have a point, he has been immense this season and filled in a position nobody expected him to be able to do, with the right partner up front would you like to mark him?

OldlandReddies Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I very much doubt you have seen him in the flesh more than me but that is besides the point, he has moved to striker for the first time this season at first class level and proved himself to be a top pkayer in this division in that position which can not be disputed. I fail to see where you are coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lack of statute and presence isn't his fault (I blame the parents) but he's non-existent in the air, provides little or no physical challenge and isn't good at holding it up on his own (which foolishly is what we've demanded of him.) He is however fleet of foot, quick of thought and possesses more than an element of vision. He has phenomenal workrate, great attitude and is able to press high in defence. Whether he could play the little'un alongside a lump remains to be seen. Personally, I'd pencil him in every time just the front of the middle behind the strikers. When WeeLee said Reid came to him, whilst on his sun-lounger, as holding all the credentials of the top-notch striker he'd been looking for I fear, and to paraphrase the great John Arlott, the inexorable mixture of sun and alcohol (retsina perchance) began to weave their magic.... amazed you have 257 likes must have a very large family.

Lrrr Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Bobby is essential upfront to our high press, you won't see another striker we have do it as well as he does. We saw it earlier in the season and briefly against Derby, having someone like Fammy upfront too gives Bobby more freedom to operate as the defenders are more occupied with Fammy as a striker than Pato in his roaming role.

Phileas Fogg Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Felt sorry for him as a lone striker, not his game. I suspected if he harried Keogh he’d force a few errors which he did. SO much better with Diedhiou - allows him to roam and drop into space which really improves his game. No wonder we were so keen to get Fam on early.

Amazed so many other threads post the game picked on downsides like hodor rather than the many +s eg Booby, Steel, result etc. “So many other threads”. Fake news. There’s one about Magnússon. Please show me the others. Just checked - Positive thread about Fammy’s return Positive thread about Steele Positive thread about Pack Positive thread about Smith and Pack And a clear consensus view that a draw was a good result.

Keogh has been suspect for the last couple of seasons, he's a good defender but he'll make silly mistakes. For me Bobby is more of a number 10 playing off the big man (Fam or Milan or dare I say even Woodrow) because he is able to get that space and a bit more time.

AshtonGreat Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 10 hours ago, RedDave said: Agreed. A few of my mates thought we weren't very good. I thought we deserved a point and were excellent in spells. People forget Derby are second, 9 games unbeaten and lost 2 in 20 It's still a concern that for all our possession, we created very few chances. The same could be said of the Norwich game.

I don’t think Keogh is promotion quality, maybe he’s in the team for his leadership or he’s good for the dressing room. Definitely wouldn’t pick him over our first choice centre halves.

Thought Jerome might have been ideal for us tbh A Bobby who has the physical presence of Famara Works hard , (Not to Bobbys level - but who does ) ,links play well , Bobby has better tech skills and will outscore him Think he would have been a good third option to mix n match with Famara and Bobby , with Pato to add as another second striker / 10 option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
