He has the work rate to get up and down and he tends to play better a bit deeper with players around him. This, plus he wouldnt get hacked n bullied by man markers as much, suprised a 4312/433 wasnt tried specifically with this in mind. Even more of a no brainer considering we dont play with wingers so why not have 3 goal scorers on to compensate for a poor return from our defenders & midfielders? Lee hutch bannan Ff - free role Hooper rhodes Suspect like with most other flair/attacking players tho that cc may not use him as well as he could to achieve best outcomes, which may affect confidence/mood and he could go elsewhere on the cheap and look a top bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often thought that. Take a decent run up head over the ball and bray it as hard as roger. Take the back of the off the net. Hit hard enough no keeper is getting near it.

poite Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) He's only bothered when he's the main man at the club, on the biggest money and with all the attention on him. We played some of our best football in those last few games of the season without him in the starting 11. He came on and scored the winner against Cardiff, I'll give him that but we went on a great run and he didn't have anything more than a bit part off the bench for those last 6 games or so Edited May 20, 2017 by poite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly how to play him a free role behind the front 2. we need 2 quality full backs and a centre half then a 4312 will work wonders for our strikers,which for me would be Rhodes win all & fessi behind, hutch holding mid role allowing bannan lee and full backs opportunity to bomb on. fessi will be immense in this setup, not that difficult is it. Carlos is the problem, playing players out of position and not to their strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aingarth Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think that some people actually misunderstand FF. He is portrayed as a bit of a prima-Donna but I have met him and think he is a genuine guy, quite a quiet man, maybe even slightly shy. He is a very talented player but often not played in his best position which I believe, like several others, should be on the left, behind two strikers. I would definitely want him to stay as I hope we can push for automatic next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest , If I was going to play a system where I was going to give anyone a free role to float about and do as they pleased behind a front pair it would be .. Ross Wallace.

Just saying he's gutted to lose etc Thanking team mates for everything and not mentioning going again next season suggests to me that it's a leaving post. He's not stupid, he knows that the post will start people talking. For the last few months he's been fairly quiet on social media and we all know his agent likes to stir the pot. This post could well be a 'come and get me' message to any suitors out there. On the one hand I'd be gutted to lose him because he's by far the most talented player in our squad, but on the other hand his attitude has been questionable this season and if his hearts not in it then a move is in everyone's best interests.
