Not for me Will we blow money on a couple of hopeful loans with some hopeful aspiration of getting promoted ? Remains to be seen We have recently looked more vulnerable through centre. If we have high tempo team against us we struggle. In last game centre backs had wobble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they sign Pans to go with Potts, Preston can do a kitchen Stockley check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a striker who’s capable of scoring 15/20 goals a season, not too sure Fletcher is capable of that if am honest, FF might not be best used as a central striker but he’s capable of scoring regular goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher and Hooper was the best partnership and then Nuhiu and Joao was very good last season FF-Joao-Matias is the one I'd like to see given a proper go. Just let them get on with attacking, don't worry about tracking back too much, let the rest of the team get on with that boring stuff ! I wonder how many teams would commit too many forward if we left the three of them in up front? Yes FF, Joao and Matias would do for me, but I do share some of your reservations about Joao leading the line He has most of the attributes, but needs work on the remaining ones If we don’t bring anyone in, then I’d like to see the trio given a chance. You’d then have a more conventional pairing, Fletcher and Hooper, on the bench, alongside maybe a quick wide player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets say say that it’s only goals that counts though, Winnall is more than capable of the 15-20 as proved at a lower league team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than happy to agree Fletch has a part to play, maybe I missed the point , thought he was been referred to as a 20 goal man And again more than happy to admit Winnall is 20 goal man in League one, championship?

Owls-Fan Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 We need a creative winger/forward, someone like Knockaert - who isn’t available. So maybe Alireza Jahanbakhsh at Brighton would be loaned out for more English experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurys still out for me At Barnsley Winall scored 11 from 20 starts in the Championship. Last season at Derby he scored 6 from 6 starts (plus 11 sub). I thought he was an absolute bargain at £500,000, the sort of signing Wednesday don't make, just couldn't understand signing Rhodes hours laters...sign one but not both. Don't think he's ever going to win any awards for skill but you can see the attributes that can / have made him effective at this level. Looking at those stats you'd assume that he'd get around 20 goals if he started every game and was given half decent service, whether Bruce see's him as his type of player is another matter.

York_Owl Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Walt said: Ideally we'd all love the big powerful jet heeled striker (who wouldn't) but for my money we've got more pressing concerns atm. I'd be looking to see if Joao could step up to do that job - there are obvious parts to his game that would need to improve to do that role justice and is he tough enough to play it? I just think it would be worth trying as if he does click then we'd have one hell of a player on our hands. When FF has played in the hole he has had the ball to feet but has been unable to do much with it, I think he's too easy to mark in that role, it's a different story when he's cutting in or just wandering in from the left. Problem is when has has played up front it has usually been in the away games and also at a time when we played a narrow 4-4-2 that didn’t create many chances. It would be interesting to see how he would fare in that position in a team with pace out wide and up front so that we could stretch the oppositions defence and create that bit of space for Forestieri to work his magic.

fpowl Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If we’re going for a front three the number player we have on our books to play that central role is fletcher then you just surround him with quality forestieri wide joao/matias wide bannan reach central fletcher as the focal point would be excellent in bring these into play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 We don't need another striker. This season anyway. Fletcher is great down the middle, can run the line a little and does what we need. Hold the ball up and can score goals. Quality striker yer people want to replace him with an unknown 18 year old loanee cos he has some pace. Next season potentially a different option for the bench, but think we need to focus on different areas we actually need first rather than the same one all the time. Such as full back and out wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Forestieri, Reach, Joao and Matias need the football to be a bit more one touch. If we moved the ball faster, all our players would look a lot sharper The piggies don’t even have the pace we have, but they move the ball at pace, that’s what we need to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
