All willing workers but are probably in the wrong league to be considered regular first teamers. True, but you suspect all of them, would look a lot more effective, if we weren’t obsessed with a long ball game. Even Paterson, who you might consider, would suit that style, would, I reckon, score the same amount of goals arriving late into the box as a midfielder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lumping crosses in is to easy to defend against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never wanted us to sign Windass in the first place, but him, Kachunga and Marriott, all want the ball into feet Even Rhodes prefers it on the deck. Not saying we should rule out the aerial route, but please, let’s mix it up a bit None of our front players are the type to be racing on to flick ons, so why we keep persisting with it, I don’t know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing, while we’re on the subject of the new signings, we might actually see more from Brown and Dele-Bashiru, if we didn’t keep bypassing the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two are on a different wavelength to the attackers and the attackers haven't the natural instinct to read them. Comes down to not signing natural forwards in the first place, which has absolutely baffled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him in attacking midfield behind Paterson and Rhodes, think he has the best link up play!

I said before the game that if we're mostly playing it on the deck and looking to get in behind, then it makes sense to play Windass. Unfortunately, we just kept lumping it long and hoping he could chase it down. It's a futile task, especially when he's twinned with Paterson, who loses the ball more often that he picks out a teammate Windass did a good job retaining possession today, but he was given a thankless task.

He's not prolific enough, his shots are erratic and wild. He's not a winger - nothing like We don't play with a number 10 and if we do it's Paterson in that role He can't play midfield I know I was mocked at the time for saying it but look at the moment - there's just no way he fits in, no justification for playing him over Paterson and Rhodes. He's out in the cold as I fully expected He's not as convincing as some fans will tell you he is I don't see a way back for Josh Windass into the side Agreed 100%. If Rhodes had been playing he would have been in the position to knock the ball into the net from the throw-in from Paterson. This was in the 1st half. Windass was awol. Totally useless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he held on to the ball and looked to bring others into play from the scraps he had to work with. I don't get what's so surprising about me saying he retained possession well on the occasions we actually got the ball to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
