He doesn’t even do that well. From what I’ve seen the closing down is always a little bit late.We really are clutching at straws if the best anyone has is that he closes down well!
I honest don’t think we have the right players for a front two. I loved Southgate’s ‘split strikers’ with Aliadiere and Tuncay.. but who do we have that is up there with them two?Didn’t think he was that bad personally, hard to criticise the strikers when they had nothing at all to work with
Still think him and Balogun are our best partnership
I think the bottom line is that our strikers simply are not good enough to genuinely push for promotion.I honest don’t think we have the right players for a front two. I loved Southgate’s ‘split strikers’ with Aliadiere and Tuncay.. but who do we have that is up there with them two?
Remember Karanka playing Stuani on the right and Bamford on the left of the three behind the striker!
I just don’t think we’ve got the mix right.. too many supporting players.
I’ve seen flashes of real genuine quality, the wheels have come off and Wilder needs to address our issues. We’ve got to do whatever it takes to get us over the line. Complete waste if we don’t make top sixI think the bottom line is that our strikers simply are not good enough to genuinely push for promotion.
Not sure about that. Genuine quality was on show midweek. I'm not suggesting we could get a Mitrovich but we definitely need better than what we have.I’ve seen flashes of real genuine quality, the wheels have come off and Wilder needs to address our issues.

Can we not just pay for some hypnotherapy for Joe Lumley or fit him with some dog shock collars?A new keeper and a new strikeforce and we should be a very very good team next year.
Imo our front two should be:
One of Coburn, Sporar, or if neither are available... Crooks. A player who can get on the end of a cross and actually get the ball in the net.
Alongside one of Watmore, Balogun, or if neither are available then Connolly. I.e. players that can be part of the build up and/or press.
It's no surprise to me that we don't look like scoring when we pick two from the second group and none from the first.
Aliadiere is up there on a long list of poor Strikers we have signed.
Been replaced Paddy McNair now.Had a great chant though didn’t he?
Ooooooooohhhhhhh we’re half way there,
Oooooohhhhh Aliadiere

I give you Chris Killen also Kris Boyd was garbage here. You could go on all day.So much turd to choose from I wonder who was the worst? Lee Miller looked worse than a Northern League player (which is probably being disrespectful to the Northern League) and Kike Sola looked like a competition winner in his brief cameo.
Honourable mentions to Alves, Mido, Britt and Fletcher for the pound for pound (literally in Mido's case) biggest flops.
At least we sorted out our strikers from last season.. and the season before that.
Gestede - Coburn
Britt - Connolly
Fletcher - Sporar
Akpom - Balogun
the consensus was that Zenden was rubbish after 15 games, that Dijksteel was rubbish after a season, that Sporar was a god after 6 games.There’s a difference between populist and a consensus.
