Guest neesy111 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think it's harsh to write Murphy off from starting games based on 1 bad performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Based on the evidence against Birmingham (cup) and Rotherham he should start before Mitrovic. Based on the evidence against Preston at home in the cup and away in the league, Mitrovic should start before Murphy. I think we've both played our hands and in reality neither should start. Murphy should start before Mitrovic. He's a better finisher and puts himself about a lot more as well. An added bonus is that he's less likely to get sent off.

Murphy also knows how to head a football and get on the end of crosses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 We also need experience and a bit of intelligence in our away run against crucial opponents in this league if Gayle is out. Murphy's cameo was executed brilliantly and I'd think he'd do at minimum, similar over 90 versus Huddersfield too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The plaudits for his 15 minutes are getting a little ott for my liking. I can't say I see much difference between him or mitro at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just more experienced and more likely to bury the kind of chances Mitro has been missing week in week out imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn davies Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Based upon the evidence of the game against Bristol City he is way ahead of Mitrovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 How many minutes has Mitro had (and not impressed) and how many Murphy? My money goes on Murphy for better value for minutes!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Very good and astute signing who has won us some vital points this season! We needed a squad for this division and I always thought that some of our fans' reaction to this was absolutely ridiculous given his record in this league!

Sho Time Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Tbf, he was a very underwhelming signing and a lot of people were annoyed that it was pushing Armstrong further out the picture when this is a league he should have been given a bit of a chance in. The fact he's ex-Sunderland didn't work in his favour too. Very happy he's proving me and a lot of others wrong, he's been a very good option for us and as much as I like Mitro, Murphy carries the better goal threat.

People had written him off before he had even kicked a ball and the same goes for arguably our most consistent player this season, Clark! People need to settle down and give players a chance!

I can't say I see much difference between him or mitro at this point. you'll live semmy it was said elsewhere, he's much less mobile than mitro but imo seems a much more natural striker in that he's taking up better positions in and around the goal that's how i felt tuesday, he was just more of a presence in the right areas at the right time whereas mitro just seems a bit all over the place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 He's not going to be first choice and has scored goals at this level. People ask for a squad and complain when we get one. This. Is it any different to signing Lovenkrands and Harewood last time? Did we have Rafa as manager last time? Murphy is a target man who creates nothing for himself, if he scores two this season I'll be amazed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
