Big unit. Physicality up top appears to be the thinking.

Averaged about one in four prior to his recent time with Bratfud and Vale. Was he used more as a sub there?

Definitely think it looks be that approach.  Listening to the Gritton podcast last night and his description of Taylor, he seems very similar in attributes to LJL.  Brings others into play, holds it up, acts as a foil for others.  Totally honest I can't remember an awful lot about Guthrie's style but his height suggests he's a similar ish type player to the other central strikers.

I'd never really fancy having two big units up top but it all depends who you surround them with I guess.  In Grant, Wright, Scannell, Sousa and McAtee there's plenty of mobility to add to the options.

It didn't happen often - and, granted, it was in a 4-4-2 - but I always remember how LJL and Ollie Palmer absolutely ran the show in that play-off win over Eastleigh (in 14/15 was it?).

Both big, but both were also mobile. Both had a presence and chased things down. It wasn't like they played like that fat lad at Lincoln.

Ollie was probably more of a finisher but that was the season when LJL got 20 (or close to it). Absolute nightmare for defences.

Palmer was 6 in 13 for us that season, which gets you 20-25 over the season.

Arguing against my own point about two big lads up top but you're right, they worked perfectly and were a real handful to say the least.  I guess at that point in their careers they both had plenty of movement to bring to the table.  We also benefited from having Nathan Arnold cutting in off the wing which added to the chaos.

Probably a single big unit striker in a 3 up top isn't it going to be? Just summising

No disrespect to you my friend but Hurst seems to know what he doing, we only think we know. Would I want to be a football manager, no way?


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
