Stuwell2 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago The header being a sitter is a load of nonsense and the first goal was made by his willingness to go for the ball, get in front of the defender and flick it out to the runner. Might not score as much as we - and him - would like but he does contribute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago We could always play Longelo through the middle. Watch the highlights of his goal, when RCC goes through both Henry and Longelo are about 20 yards deeper, Longelo sprints and Hendry jogs, either could have got that goal but only the full back was prepared to make the effort.

The issue is that he keeps missing chances you’d expect a number 9 to put away. The header yesterday wasn’t the sitter; that was the chance he fluffed just before it. The comments on the header are more about the fact he couldn’t even get it on target. He just doesn’t do the bread and butter of a striker, which is burying those chances.

Big Stall Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago 4 hours ago, wellsince75 said: AP is a bit of an odd one and to be fair to him has a goal ratio of 1:3 which isn't terrible. He's got decent pace, works hard and knows where the goals are. Although he's missed a few chances he's not regularly lurking enough in the penalty box. This is where the issue I think is, he's a penalty box striker who if we whip in loads of crosses etc into the box I'd wager he'll stick a few away BUT that's not how we're playing the game. I do think a confident AP with a certain type of play would work well for him but that's not how we're playing. Not can I see it working for Hendry. Sule maybe if he return but for now I could see us being more effective without either AP or Hendry. First half yesterday we played lots of cut backs from the bye line into the box & he couldnt get on any of them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago For me AP’s header is fine the ball was just too high for him to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Should have got it on target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 10 hours ago, Kmcalpin said: Some merit in this view. You'd hope that we're monitoring Welsh's position very carefully; not to secure him on a longer deal, of course, but in case Celtic decide to flog him to a Championship team down south. Its also possible bigger fish in the food chain are eyeing up other players like JT, Just or Watt. I still think we're short of a main striker up front. Stama is falling short of what we need and Hendry isn't the kind of player we need, bless him. His signing raised a few eyebrows at the time, as he's never been a true goalscorer. I certainly don't think that we are anything other than a "work in progress" and that any chance to improve the squad should be looked into. My main point would be that it takes time for any new players to fit into a new club. Previous successes like Baer and Van Veen only flourished in the second half of seasons. Bringing in anyone in January therefore becomes more of a gamble, especially if we are looking for immediate results. We may also have players coming back from long term injuries. Perhaps we will get more from seeing what they can offer, rather than taking a chance on someone from outside the group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted 49 minutes ago Report Share Posted 49 minutes ago People might think i am being daft but......how about getting Lennon back in January on 6 month loan? Usinese get him having first team football plus Lennon has chance to get in world cup squad. Just my view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour on my radar is that he's going on loan to Celtic with a £4M buy option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted 46 minutes ago Report Share Posted 46 minutes ago I'd hope for a second left back if possible. Koutroumbis did well there yesterday but having someone naturally left footed there automatically widens the pitch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my view We dont need another midfielder on the books, Watt, Slattery, Just and Fadinger are doing just fine. At least one ideally two strikers should be top of the wish list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
