Yeah, for a target man, he didn't hold the ball up very well. Joelinton used to get pelters when he was playing as a striker, but he was a lot more involved in build up play.

Thiago Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 11 minutes ago, ManDoon said: I think we can all collectively agree we need some more goals. Leeds gifted us one but teams are gonna be more difficult in the run in I mean, they gifted us one, but also had their keeper pull off two worldie saves to deny Shelvey and Willock and we could have had a penalty.

KDT Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Nketiah could have a bit of Daniel Sturbridge about him where he wasn’t really getting an opportunity until his early 20s and took a loan move to get him going. Nketiah’s record for the England U21s is pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, ManDoon said: Yes mate, the jokey reply is predicated on the fact that it’s the school paper/being good at school doesn’t make a PL striker. The varsity reference is from a famous Sopranos quote. It is multi layered. Like Rick and Morty. It's just jealousy mate, we never had a school paper, so when I saved a penalty to secure a 2-1 victory over Canning St. I had to settle for a mention in assembly.

Theregulars Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 1. @ManDoononce flattened me in an N-O game; he had no respect for the original Ginger Pirlo. I can attest to his magic feet. 2. Wood has played with these players and for this manager for like 3 weeks? Let’s give him a bit longer before we decide he’s sub-par. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Nketiah will be fine. He has pace and knows where the net is. Between him, Wood and Wilson we should get some chemistry going. I think Howe prefers a 442 of sorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I mainly remember trying to score from kick off and it going wider than the corner flag for a throw in. My claim that it was a plan to “box them in” fell on deaf ears. Distinctly remember @MKSCcalling me a prick, and rightly so. @Yorkiedeployed me as a false 9 - very false indeed.

Yeah he'd be a decent investment regardless as he's coming out of contract in the summer, but we should still get a proven striker to guarantee safety for this year IMO.

kingxlnc Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Nketiah could either be Wellbeck (and therefore struggle for goals his whole career) or could be a Sturridge. At this stage it's pretty low risk to test him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood is proven still people are talking like he is not here. Viduka when at Leeds had 4 seasons in a row where he had double figures, like Wood - at a much more attacking team. At Boro, injury hit, he scored 7. 16 and 19 goals next 3 seasons. (He was 29 when he went there). So a similar-ish situation. Wood is probably half the player of Viduka but even if he only got even half of that, it is money well spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I don't mind this at all. He is a Gayle upgrade. Pacey, can play across the front and gets in the right positions to score. He is hungry to succeed. Definitely dissapointed this is the end of any Zapata/nunez/world class striker of the hour talk. It's a smart move though like Burn.
