swfc.4.ever Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Early signs I know but looks like just the player we have been lacking for some time. Reminds me of Paul William's early 90's. Looks like he loves to run at defences, one touch pass and run into box. thumbs up from me so far. Gives us a different dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Him and ff could be an interesting forward attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Baggins Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 He looked bright, fearless and quick. made some good runs into the channels. interesting to see him in a front 3 with Wickham and Forestieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 He actually gave forward movement, something we desperately lack. With better strikers to come in, hopefully reap the awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 If he gets in the box it will be better than what we have available at present. When we get a cross in there's nobody on there's rarely anyone in the area. We need a striker or two in there and the midfield joining at pace. Other teams do it, we don't.

fpowl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 We need quick thinking front foot players around him to open defences up. Forestieri is a welcome back addition I can see them two linking up pretty well. I don’t know enough about windass to suggest he can be one of these but a great example would be somebody like Kieran lee and Bannan a few years ago there little one touch football used to unlock defences and release ya on attacks quickly non of this we need 3 touches before a pass players like da Cruz look like they need releasing early I’m looking forward to seeing him more and this new look sharper forward line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One instance stood out for me, made a run and picked the ball to the right of the box, laid it off and immediately turned to get Infront of goal. Didn't hang around waiting for short return pass like our other strikers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a sign of how football as become over complicated and sometimes the basics are the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Monk has gone from having nobody to pick from to having some interesting decisions to make. One thing to watch is players forge partnerships on the pitch. Him and FF looked that way yesterday. It can be a big plus if players have this type of understanding. One reason Bannan is struggling is because Fletcher is missing. They always look for each other on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1Owl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Da Cruz, FF, Wickham, Fletcher. Play em all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Must admit was very impressed. Looked positive, calm on the ball and had that air of unpredictability about him which we have lacked so much this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 He looked alright but not sure we saw enough to know that he can be our saviour or that he's a similar player to Paul Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 We've been crying out for someone with pace, to play towards the opposition goal (not stop and turn back). Da Cruz, and Windass to an extent, these types of players, plus FF back with a point to prove Might encourage Harris to rediscover his early season form. Proper pace and mobility in attack should be transformative. One of our better recent games was QPR away, 2 holding midfielders, no constant long ball, instead looking to play out to wide players to run at the opposition which should suit what we have available now.
