THE RIGHT BACK UP FRONT? END IT NOW!

Sat Jan 05, 2019 5:05 pm

Surely now its time to put a firm end to playing a right back as our main striker. Im sorry but callum paterson had been poor for a long run of games now and today he was absoloutely shocking. Like a headless chicken upfornt again poor touches everywhere didnt look like he knew what he was doing and messed up sloppily when in on goal 1v1. Im sorry to be negative but he looked gillinghams standard today league 1 and i wouldnt even pick him for gillingham based on that.

Quality striker needed badly NOW because we got 2 massive games against huddersfield and newcastle coming up.

Hes done well because teams did not expect it. The tactic has now been worked out and we need a new plan.

What was the tactic then? I dont think there was any tactic he just works hard and scored a couple of goals but apart from that looked clueless up there all of the time

He’s doing a great job until we bring somebody else in he’s by far our best option

He’s a striker not a RB and only people who don’t actually watch us regularly could even debate that he is not a striker. Anyway from someone who was their yesterday he was not the worst of terrible performances in fact he was probably the 3rd best after NML and Damour. Why we wasted millions on Smithies though I will never understand.

For a start mate i watch us week in week out and my opinion is he aint a premier league standard striker. And i watched the whole game live on tv yesterday and he was shit, worse touch than jimmy saville fuckin garbage

Defo not a striker, if he was he'd be a league 2 striker, if anything centre mid at most

He had played right back a hand full of times for us. I'd say a midfielder not a Right back but it always sounds more dramatic saying right back :lol:

Wonder how long it took Bale to not be referred to as a fullback :lol:

I'd have him as a box to box midfielder as he runs forever.

Then you should realise he doesn’t and never will play right back for us and until we bring someone else in is our best option up top.

Yes we havent got much options but i would rather give bobby reid a crack against huddersfield as his link up play and finishing is better than paterson, every time reid has played up front its been against the harder teams like spurs for example when most strikers would struggle to have any impact. If paterson starts v huddersfield i hope he scores and proves me wrong but im fed up of seeing him running about like a headleas chicken up there now failing to control the ball and just heading it aimlessly to the opposition.

He's not even a right back, he was always a striker to begin with before we signed him!
