^ footers and the need to be Physical

[Yorkshire Canary 118]

It  has  been  obvious  for  a  long  time  that  strong  physical  sides  do  better  in  the  championship.Roeder  emphasised the  fact  and  then  went  on  to  get  little  players. In the  last 2 days  Gunn  has  added  3  6 footers  who  all  will  probably be  regulars  in the  side/squad  . This  will  make  us  a  different  team  to  beat  and  should  make  us  much  more  of  a  threat  from  set  peices. Overall  i  am  pretty  happy  with  recent  events  especially  as  both  killen  and  Gow  are  here with  a  view  to  staying  if  the  loans  work  out

we''ve struggled in recent years due to being considerably smaller than the opposition, at times we''ve gone into games with just 1 player over the 6ft mark

It''s not just about being 6ft it''s about being tough especially at centre back to often this season have our centre backs given opponents an easy ride physically, i doubt very much if many strikers have gone off the pitch thinking they had been dominated physically by us. It would definetly help on set pieces having the extra height, for years we hardly ever seem to score of corners or free kicks but we also want to play football and tall, physical players who can pass the ball well dont tend to be at clubs like ours, or not for very long.
