Does he really though?
Last seasons midfield was Spittal, Miller, Paton and Slattery. He then signed Nicholson in the window when Slattery was injured. Bair was a big boy, but not your traditional target man until he worked out how to better use his physicality.
Was the same in the van Veen season.
I see the current style of play as a means to an end because our entire midfield was basically injured at the start of the season. I had expected it to improve by now but further injuries have conspired against us.
If Armstrong is a target man, I think it makes direct football a better option, but I would hope we are looking at doing more business than that now with Seddon, McGinn, Ox, Miller and Stama all still out......
