    Bartley

    Has anyone ever tried him as a striker? Good in the air, composed finish yesterday and almost scored another, inches wide. Just wondered.

    He couldn’t do any worse than some we’ve had up front!

    Like Ajeyi, he seems to win more in the air in the opponents box than in our own box.

    Good point! His heading and shooting qualities are far superior to Kanu and Zohore

    I’m sure your schoolteacher taught you to add “Kanu” to every sentence. 😂

    Well, before we signed Diagne (because now he has to show what he can), not a bad shout at all. As you say, very composed finish, like he did that on a regular basis.

    A few times this season Bartley has looked like ‘the fox in the box”. .... good finish yesterday .... seems like BS is getting some height and physical presence in the team for set pieces .... with Diange, Ajayi, Bartley and Yosolu on all 6ft 5” .... plus Furlong is decent in the air ...
