GoldenLee Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The Target Man seems to be a returning figure in football. The football when using a target man may never be the prettiest but can be very effective. I started going to Wednesday games in 1998 so the target man we had back then was Andy Booth who was a pretty standard football target man for his day. I Know during the 80s people would probably say Lee Chapman was one of the country’s main Target Men of the day, again not pretty football but he always got goals where he went. And I suppose the most obvious example of recent times would be Atdhe Nuhiu for whenever we wanted to play a more direct approach. What do you guys think? Who’s the best target man that Wednesday have had in your opinion and which other examples of Target men can you think of? Stay safe.

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Steven Fletcher was a better player than Chapman, Booth or Nuhui for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridportOwl Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If we had played more to Fletcher's strengths then him. Loved Mark Bright, Lee Chapman and Bannister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Bright was quality in the top division. But how did he miss that sitter to win the FA Cup final replay? That still hurts me today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say Steven Fletcher was probably best target man post Premier League but Lee Chapman was much braver than any player we have around these days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
