havanatopia Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 After watching him Tuesday night he was lucky to be in the Team, Infact im sure if Taylor was fit he would not been in the team!! So for you lot going on about the 90th min, Really doubt he would of done much!! See thats the problem.. to be perfectly fair to Brett we cannot say he is better or worse than Taylor because we have seen virtually nothing of the latter. I'd like to think its nonsense that Brett might be on his way. We could certainly do with a creative midfielder like Felaini though... get innnnn my babber.

tiz Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I rate Pitman as many do and with the right service will score goals and lots of them. Think he has almost tried to hard latterly under Del. As many have said if he does go he will still keep my interest. No way will he leave under a cloud for me, and I wish him well except against us. Who knows though maybe he will stay. I was convinced and said it then that against the gash, he along with stead appeared over anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_South_End Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe Taylor is the striker Del might get rid of, he's certainly had less time on the pitch under Del than Pitman so I would think he'd be the least safe of City's forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe Pitman has not had the right partnership and Del see's him alongside Davies or Campbell. I agree Pitman looks disinterested all the time, but we all know he has no pace so maybe someone else running of him. As much as I like Stead, maybe he can't work alongside Brett so resorting us to play one up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilksy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hopefully Brett moves on and gets a team that are better suited to him.

Superjack Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 So... ...we have signed Davies, who McInnes stated was not the type of striker he wanted... ...we need a striker with pace... ...DJ Campbell has still not signed and may not at all... ...we now have four strikers and no quick ones... ...and the one striker we have that has proved that he can find the net is being bombed out (apparently).

Bristol_South_End Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Well it will not happen this window for obvious reasons. Which is a shame really. If Taylor was gone and we brought in DJ we would have 4 strikers that would offer something different each: Stead (target man), Pitman (finisher/fox in the box), Davies (technically gifted, left footed, can take a free kick), and Campbell (pacey).

I think DM plays his cards close to his chest and whilst some fans will undoubtedly become frustrated by that it is a positive thing. Should the pacey forward not materialise then McInnes will have to rethink his ideas and tactics a little, but nothing to difficult. I can't imagine there is no reason for Brett's apparent fall from favour, speculation of course. I don't see any clangers here though. Davies is highly rated and talented and will hopefully prove to be a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after McInnes identifying the need for some pace up front (something that we all knew of), to then sign a striker that does not address that problem I find baffling to say the least. As for Pitman, there may well be reasons that first Millen and now McInnes have not rated him. Speculation, as you say. However, his limited minutes on the pitch have proved his eye for goal, and I personally will be upset to see him go without an extended run in the team - something that he has never been afforded. It is all very well writing him off on the rare occasions he gets a start. Give him ten starts in a row. If we are going to have no pace up front, lets at least have someone prolific up there.

marcofisher Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 What I dont understand is the fact is a new season only 1 game in and apparently Pitman is out of favour already? When we played 442 towards the end of the season Pitman played alot! Pitman did appear a fair bit in pre season aswell and I should think he will be played a fair bit this year aswell, he could play slightly deeper off a pacey striker or play off a target man!

You read enough threads here and what you just said about Pitman becomes a 'fact' !!! What is a fact, however, is that all of the comments mentioned about Brett being bombed out, out of favour, ready for the exit door are all heresay and supposition. For all we know Pitman might have a fabulous season with us, score 15 goals, and be snapped up by Norwich who will be relegated this season. Until we hear anything from the official sources Pitman IS and remains very much in Del's plans for the season. That, of course, might change next week.

samo II Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Right now we've got Stead, Pitman, Davies and Taylor, right? I've left out Amandi-Holloway as I'd expect he's not a first team contender just now. The presumption is we're looking to bring in DJC to add to the side, and someone would be shifted out to make it 4 first team strikers. But why are we presuming Pitman is the one leaving? Taylor may very well head out on loan to league one/two for all we know. In that situation, even if we did sign DJC, we'd only have four strikers, so Pitman leaving would be a strange move for us. Ultimately a lot of this will come down to what role he is willing to accept. Being one of four strikers on rotation in a Championship team is not exactly a 'dead end' for a 24 year old striker; he'll likely get his chance to impress at some point. But if he just wants to play, and is willing to drop a division to do so, then that is his want and we can't do much about that. Personally I like Brett; I think he is a good player on his day. But I do think that even his staunchest supporters have to admit that he is inconsistent, and unlike someone like Stead, when Pitman has an off day he contributes very little to the team, as his game is not based around work-rate. I think he is a good player to have in our squad, but whether he wants to be in it is another matter entirely. I don't truck with these suggestions that at another club at this level he'd hit 20 a season without breaking a sweat though; I think he'd face many of the same problems he'd encountered here and I struggle to identify a club at this level that doesn't have at least one other 'Pitman-type' player who is (IMHO) more consistent/proven.

exAtyeoMax Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I still think he is the 'striker/goalscorer' we need. He looks lazy but he is reading the game, not running around like a headless chicken like the rest of them. Putting him out on the wing is not the answer, he should be upfront like a Shearer/Owen player. It would be a shame to lose him but we don't have the back-up for the kind of player he is.

chipdawg Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 The Derby fan on the Davies thread said he is quick. I think he actually said that he's quick for 6ft+ striker, but whether he has sufficient pace to stretch a defence is another matter. I'd actually like to see a genuine 433 tonight with Davies and Adomah either side of Stead. I suspect it'll be 442 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a noble fan but at least he had a good game every 3 starts Pitman seems to start then disappears until he's dropped comes of the bench bags a goal is given another start and disappears again, This is the season we can't afford to carry players, we were decent enough against forest but lacked that final ball once thats sorted we should be comfitable mid table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
