We win a lot of free kicks as we play direct to a target man in Godden and Cummings can look after himself in the air too...if a team is accurate in their direct play and get the ball directly to the front man and he is strong enough to hold the ball up, defenders have to go through them to try...
Well that's just it ...he hasn't. Apart the first halves against Bristol Rovers at home and Plymouth away we have not dominated any teams.
We have however a) happy to let teams have long periods of possession on the ball as we hold a very organised defensive third b) Got two forwards who are...
Shame he did did not read the 'You're not a natural finisher' e-mail prior to the Posh game. His finish was class, in fact he was a bloody pain in the arse all game !
Posh beat Plymouth 5-1. It was very easy. We have had a great start, but I get the feeling that we have not played anyone decent yet who might be troubling the top third of the division come May...
It just confirms how little you have watched the division if you really think 'that' squad is good enough. Your manager will have to do a massive amount of turd polishing.
You can only get 5 loan players in and even that needs to be done sharpish...otherwise you have to wait until the January transfer window to buy the sort of players that could make a challenge.
Was with us as a kid and broke into the first team as a 17 year-old and stayed there for a couple of seasons before he broke his leg...was never the same after that. Good to see he might be getting back to a bit of form. There is certainly a decent players in there.
2 out of those 4 were frees. The other was 50K...You are right about Ferdinand though. Easly covered by Paul Taylor who we picked up for a free and sold the next season for 1.3m though (and many others)
Luton boss went 3/5/2 today to try and counter the Posh width...Evans just played it narrower after about 5 minutes screaming at Dembele to "run at the middle". Basically the only difference between the sides today was the tactics, Posh's pace and we got the rub of the green with a couple of...
James / Ferdinand yes...Nabi / Coultihurst were signed for absolute peanuts...all of which is insignificants considering the large sums received for Boyd, McClean, Mackail Smith, Assombalonga, Gayle, Washington, Marriott, Edwards, Da Silva Lopes (I am sure there’s a lot more too)...what ever way...
Apart from Tyrone Barnett am struggling to think of any who have not justified that sort of initial outlay with a hefty profit?...but suppose you know best.
