WBA53 match thread

[Johnny on the spot 1]

Didn't see the first half because the red button didn't work but during the time I was able to watch, I was suitably impressed with Andy Carroll. At last we had someone who was winning the majority of balls in the air and giving the centre backs a hard time. If we could muster up someone to play off of him, then we may have a chance of scraping into the play offs. Dare I say it, but a player like HRK springs to mind. Robinson, Diangana and Grant are far too lightweight and do not contribute enough for my liking. A strong robust centre forward is what we have missed in recent years so let's try to make the most of Carroll before he spends time on the table!

I totally agree with your post Tipp except for grant I thought he did a load of graft but always to deep to be affected, we desperately need some creativity then we will score even with what we have but we need to create chances & we ain't, just hopefull crosses in to the box & these stupid long throws which cause no trouble for opposition 6 feet plus defenders week in week out ,

Up to a few weeks ago, we were still creating chances, but not putting them away. Sometimes, you have to risk getting hurt in the penalty area, so having Carroll in should help the non-physical Diangana, Grant and Robinson. First things first though, get Furlong and Townsend functioning properly again.
