A big man who can head the ball

Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:58 am

After many years of having a number of big men playing up front we finally have some one who can head the ball up front Think maybe last was Peter Thorne
Rudy - shocking
Zahore - joke
Glatzel - a slight improvement
Patterson - gets his head there but where it goes is another thing

It seems heading the ball is a dying art but how lovely was it to see Moore attacking the cross and powering the header in even from close range

Now we’ve got Moore who can head a ball I wonder if we will mix up our set pieces instead of aiming for Morrison every single time?

To be fair to Glatzel, he suffered from poor service,our wide men tend not to cross often enough, let's hope now that changes,as without service,any striker can be seen as poor,when it's not their fault.onwards and upwards. :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Too many specialists saying it's dangerous to keep hearing a football along with schools banning heading in games, so yes, it will become less and less and as the great Cloughie said " If God wanted the ball up in the air all the time he would have put grass on clouds " ( or something like that )

Makes us much more of a threat from dead-ball situations and throw in's, teams can no longer get away with just taking Morrison out!
