We definitely do need another Striker. If Harris gets injured for a significant period of time I’m not sure any of the others are up to filling in. Admittedly I don’t know a lot about the Leeds lad.
i would assume they think Perkins can be that player. He has no track record at league level but his goals in youth football show he has an eye for goal. I just can’t see how Leeds would loan a good prospect to us, if he’s going to be 3rd or 4th choice. Unless he can play in different positions, but from what I’ve read he’s a number 9?
Birmingham I thought
Hopefully he is that player. I just think it’s a big risk to go from now until January without another more proven striking option
Birmingham have just signed Jay Stansfield, hopefully they’ll sign both as I still wouldn’t rule Barnsley out of having a good season.
Plenty of people were delighted about the prospect of Marcus Browne playing as a number 10 as well. Almost negates his biggest strength of isolating a player and going past them, but at least it brought his poor decision making into play more often. Twas madness.
I’d be interested to see McEachran and McGuane together.
An example of this was Plymouth, who kept building each window last season. Pleased with what I have seen of Harris, but is he a natural goalscorer, It is far too early to tell, I feel. Goodrham popped up again to make the difference, but we need three or four to do this regularly, and you only have to look at Alfie May to see the benefit of a natural goalscorer. I thought Stevens grew into the game yesterday and hopefully will strengthen and improve during the season, as Mills will too. All in all, promising, but I could not help but feel we are two or three signings away from being able to maintain our position. A winger would definitely be good I feel, as I can not see Murphy contributing much going forward, despite his obvious talent (please prove me wrong on this JM as you could breeze this league).
This this this! The amount of people saying we should have been out of sight by half time yesterday, then saying we don't need a striker!
It was the final ball rather than the finishing that cost us for the most part though.
There are answers to this within the current squad. Both Bodin and Rodrigues look like they could score every game and the latter probably just needs the first one out the way to open the floodgates. We know Bodin will get his share.
Very generous calling Brannagan iffy yesterday, I think. He dallied on a clearance and got lucky that it bounced back to him, only to dally again and give it straight to May who should have scored. Got done really easily for the goal and lucky to avoid a red late on, on another day he does nothing different and comes away at fault for 2 goals and having been sent off. I also don't agree with set pieces, managed to work the keeper from a free kick once but it would have been a massive error had it gone in and while I guess he's been told to float corners in its not a hard ball to play, I'd rather see Bodin over a set piece than Cam. I saw @Peterdev voted for him as man of the match yesterday, different opinions etc but I can only assume this was an error or just trolling.
I agree, was just saying that first half yesterday it wasn’t the problem
We should have been 2 or 3 up at halftime, missing 2 very good chances. But to be fair neither were for Harris.
