Hughton: Carroll could be the new Crouch
Super Duper Branko Strupar replied to Thespence's topic in Football
I wouldnt say it was something he 'badly needs to work on'. Its not like if he doesnt practice his shooting in training over the summer and puts some extra curricular shooting in as well that he's going to stop being a good footballer and the rest of his future is doomed. He doesnt get too many chances with his feet, we put crosses in for him, so he scores headers. He is inexperienced in front of goal, his thinking time and decisions aren't like Rooneys, Torres etc. But look at Defoe, he only started scoring in the last couple of years. He's a good prospect, a very good header of the ball, competent with the ball at his feet (he may not carry the ball as far as Jonas but he still looks like he has it under control at least) decent touch and learning well. I don't get your disdain with Carroll. Such a bad example man, sorry. I'm sure if you watched a video of 'Jermain Defoe 04-08 at Spurs' you'd agree more. Or dig out forum posts on defoe in 05/06.... much the same I would bet. -

Defoe was notorious for not scoring enough goals, not taking his chances, swinging his feet at the ball..... Then he got a run of games in a good team and showed his ability. He was always a good prospect but he hasn't been considered a finished article until the last couple of years, and he's 27! I know he needs to shoot to be a striker, but its not as if he has a ticking clock against him.... just relax. If he has it he'll be good if he doesn't he wont, he doesn't need people on forums he needs to be working on his shooting....its not like he's going to listen even if it would help, Im sure he must have been advised against growing corn-rows... -

I don't get your disdain with Carroll. once he's made his mind up....thats it. I wish I could ignore it but it gets my back up every time. The lads been put in the Championship team of the year in his first full season....apologies, half a season! He is a mainstay of the England U21's, Stuart Pearce is a huge fan, he is wanted by Prem clubs and Levein for, just scored 19 goals..... Please stop me if Im wrong. -

If Gateshead were to be promoted to League 2 in a few seasons to come how would they cope? Would they be able to maintain the fan base to make it a viable professional football club? Could they obtain a fanbase to allow revenue to make it possible for them to be promoted in the first place with everyone already having a strong allegiance to an existing club? Would it be good for us? To send players on loan, having a smaller feeder club etc etc etc? Discuss....
