50 goals between o'grady and Baldock!

[tommynockers]

Are we sure it's not how we use our strikers and not that they are none goal scorers? A player / players, doesn't go from scoring that many goals to what we have now, unless there is a serious lack of knowledge as to how that striker operates within a team. Surely Brighton have looked how Baldock played with Bristol? So why do they insist on not playing him in a similar way? Play o'grady just behind Baldock Please!! See what happens. Baldock plays as a pair always has and always scores in that format!

exactly, 4-4-2 please.

 

[Hampster Gull]

442 for a spell

If you hit a round peg hard enough it may just go in a square hole.

Isn't it the other way round

 

[Kevlar]

seems to me Chris has settled for a 4-4-1-1
with tex as the 1 behind a striker
with paddy out of favour
COG is the only real other contender for that role
a Sheringham to Tex's Beardsley
But Chris has also brought in Best
it seems that he is ahead of baldock in the striker pecking order
although I have not seen a reason why yet

 

[The Optimist]

It seems like we haven't been using strikers properly ever since we got to the Championship. Even with Ulloa it felt like he could have scored a lot more goals if he was given better service.

 

[Giraffe]

I'd play 4-4-2

But it doesn't really matter what I think does it. It's not a favoured formation these days is it, to many fear having he midfield flooded.

Not sure how Burnley went up playing it.

 

[Rugrat]

Looked like COG had found his feet

Scored a couple and bringing others into play, nice lay offs making goals too

Excellent

Then we drop him

Either that, or the peg will eventually break.

 

[Stat Brother]

Aren't we going for a 4-2-3-1 shape, at home.
TBH I don't see the problem other than its reliance on the middle player in the 3 being up to scratch.
When those 3 positions are settled, injury free, and fluid we should score more goals.

Even under Hyypia I felt 'when this clicks, we're going to hammer someone'.
I'm yet to think that, but the next 2 games should tell us plenty about Chris' style.

To score you have to shoot.

 

[BensGrandad]

To score you have to shoot.

To quote Brian Clough 1 shot gives a possible maximum of 1 goal, but 20 shots leave a possibility of anything berween 1 and 20 plus keep a clean sheet, which we have done last 2 games, and you are on the right road to success.
