Lrrr Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Something I've been wondering when watching of late, he's gone off the boil since Diedhiou got injured and from memory a lot of Reid's goals earlier in the season we're poachers goals being in the right place. I thought about it a lot from todays performance, he had chances where he got in behind the back line but doesn't seem someone who will shoot from just in the box much, we saw today he tried taking the ball on closer to goal only to get tackled before getting a shot away. My point about needing a Diedhiou or a Djuric with him is that they drag players away and create the pockets of space for Bobby to work in, something he doesn't get as much as with someone like Taylor as a partner. I don't think its any coincidence that he's slowed down since Diedhiou's been injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStandUp Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 No. The last couple of games he has missed Pato buzzing around him. When them two are linking up, we look our most dangerous (look at today's first goal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Didn’t need one against Fulham, Man United and others. The Paterson point by @ForeverRes is very valid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 I think the team struggled without a physical presence up front at times. I mean, even goal kicks and defensive clearances were painful ( although Fielding to blame for lots of that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Not a target man necessarily, but could definitely do with someone to hold the ball up and let him run in behind, something Taylor and Woodrow don’t offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Paterson point by @ForeverRes is very valid though. I judt like when we have a packed midfield, as opposed to 4-4-2. We look lively going forward, and solid when we need to be defensively. Be interesting to see what LJ does when Fammy is back mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
