Do We Still need another Striker?

[Durham Fox]

Smith looks like a good player, Arsenal rate him and he clearly has talent. Why would we want to waste his talents up front? He doesn't have a great shot on him but he can take people on, a perfect winger. I think Arsene Wenger and his staff know a thing or 2 about what makes a centre forward.

Bloody Foxes Talk.

another football forum is full of posts wanting ryan smith to play up front. i find this all very embarassing as these people must have seen all of 20minutes of the lad, and while i admit he looks promising i can't see how he is a world beater yet.

These are the same people that were talking-up Hammond and Hume three weeks ago. Ryan Smith is nothing more than potential at the moment - and he didn't show too much of that at Preston.

I think CL has the right idea, have two pacey wingers and try and get the ball in the box as much as possible! I think the 4-3-3 against Cardiff was Cl trying something different and it seemed to work in a sense, but if u play 4-3-3 you are looking to score more that one!

Why don't we go for the 4-3-3 that was so effective against the in form Cardiff?

What 4-3-3 at Cardiff? You're going to have to remind me.

The OS says we played 4-5-1 with only Dublin up front. I think we played a pretty ordinary 4-4-2 with Hammond not quite able to keep up, so some might have thought he as playing in midfield. (OK - that was supposed to be a joke!)

Seriously, I felt that the midfield's support of the frontmen was more in evidence at Cardiff than we have seen it inb other games, but 4-3-3 - No!

Who is alleged to have been the 3rd striker?

I believe RL said it was 3 up front with Hammill as the 3rd man Boc

He certainly was able to get forward more than usual - but it wasn't what I would call 4-3-3 in any sense of the imagination.

Like I said it was RL,getting the players identity is a start for them.

It wasn't just RL, it was CL who said it.

Don't defend them Leigh,they aren't worth it...

CL must be listening to RL too much!!

 

[Joe_Fox]

beacause we failed to score and never looked that likely to. The defence is solid enough now in a 4-4-2

But we won 1-0 durham.

 

[Durham Fox]

good point :icon_lol: I think i must have meant that we scored from a setpeice not open play.

 

[MKFox]

I don't think we need another striker, we just need our other strikers to strike...

Im with u on this one MK. I dont think it would hurt to have another younger kid as cover. But we can always get a loan player in as and when we need it. We certainly cant afford to buy one. Even a decent youth teamer would probably be good enough.

I have a feeling CL might have a few bob spare come January window.

What? You think they might let him spend the money that he gets for Williams?

Quite possibly, although Forest will get a good chunk if I remember rightly. I also think he might have a bit in the coffers.

 

[fcukcov]

Surely he wont be able to spend much if the board dont think we wil get promoted and therefore make up the difference lost from the parachute payments. etc.

 

[Feriol]

I Think we could use another striker, but i would prefer a loan deal for someone with experience.

However, since we know that CL would prefer Dublin as a striker, i would expect him to get a defender in january to enable Dublin to play up front more.

Thats not what i want, but what i think CL will do.

 

[fitz]

would forest get anything for williams? they refused our settlement and it went through the courts, i know nothing about legal stuff so not sure if they are entitled to anything if we are to sell our model professional
