NimChimpskee 0 Posted September 1, 2006 With McKenzie gone, surely this strengthens the argument for keeping the 4-3-3 system that has served us pretty well so far this season. My only concern that is if Earnshaw now picks up an injury, who will fill the lone striker role? Jarvis? Thorne? I think I would worry about either of these!May I propose that Worthington use part of the fortune that was almost spent on Cotteril to buy a floating bubble that we can keep Earnie in between games?

Fat Barman 0 Posted September 1, 2006 ''Tis a bit of a worry. Would the Earnie position suit WLY? He has the brain to make it work, but I worry about his finishing - not that he''s had much chance to prove his ability as a striker! I think he''d relish the opportunity to get on the end of some decent (low!) crosses.It''s the management''s opinion that counts, though, perhaps we''d see 4-4-2 brought back if Earnie copped a bad''un - Jarvis & WLY?They must be feeling sick that they missed out on their main target, but at least the dust can settle over the next seven days (no loans can be arranged for this next week) and, hopefully, we might see that the loan market serves us until the chance to add in the next window. As mentioned elsewhere, not all the people who''ve just moved will be guaranteed first-teamers, so we might even see Cotterill in a City shirt yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Canary 0 Posted September 1, 2006 McVeigh, last time he was played up front he scored 15 goals in a season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 43 Posted September 1, 2006 Ryan Jarvis has to be our second striker, its about time he showed us what he can do. but I certainly hope nigel has some loan signings in the pipeline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hook Norton Canary 0 Posted September 1, 2006 UEA Canary - Loan signings can only be in an emergency, although me n every other canary would say we need a striker its an emergency, i shouldnt think the FA would.....not with Earny, Jarvis, Thorne, McVeigh and Huckerby ''n'' Crofty on our books!!Did Sutton go 2 Birmingham??

San Miguel 0 Posted September 1, 2006 I dont think a new striker is an emergency at allyou can call our current tactics 4-3-3, but I look at it as 4-5-1 with Hucks and Croft breaking in forward positions when they canhow many different players have scored this season? I bet its more than this time last year, or even one or two months later last yearmy point being the current tactics allow more players to try and score and we are not therefore totally relying on Earnie to bag one or two every game. (like we did with Ashton last year)for the record we''ve hadEarnie - 4Hucks - 2Croft - 2Robinson - 1Etuhu - 1Leon - 1and an own goalOK its not a long list but its only been 5 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
