Thread: Having that experienced striker

    re: Having that experienced striker

    To play the way we are he needs crosses into the box, not aimless punts forward. To be fair to him, when he gets these he delivers!

    We just don't use him well enough and any target man type player would struggle without that service!

    There was a video of his goals last season and most came from him pulling away to the back post...

    Notts Count's Ray Trew is a big-money backer.

    And any team that signs eigh**** players over the summer must know how to splash the cash.

    The same is apparently true of S****horpe all of a sudden, and the Football League Show's mention of Madden hinted that only a very juicy deal indeed had tempted him to stay with them.

    We at the Alex are the eunuchs in the harem, only able to dream of things we can't have.

    re: Having that experienced striker

    Crewereality speaks sense here guys. I have been saying this for ages but Haber does a decent job when we play to his strengths. He's not going to dribble past 4 players and curl one into the top corner, he's just not that type of player. However if we use him correctly he can be very effective. By all means if we need to boot it long then he gives us a target (if left forward) but as already implied, get full backs and wingers crossing to him in the air, that is his strength.

    4-4-2 with Haber and LDV would work best as LDV is a poacher and can feed off Haber. It may also help Saunders to play upfront with Haber. Davis needs to move away from this formation that every other club in global football uses, it's boring and doesn't suit our current squad. Have the balls to change it and then build our team up behind the 2 strikers.
