Rabbit 0 Posted November 18, 2004 if crouch plays, flem and charlton will only come up to his chest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Canary 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Good point. But is Crouch that good at headers? I dont remember him scoring that many but it was a year ago that he was here so my memory isnt perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted November 18, 2004 And if doc or shacks play they will only come up to his shoulders so it all comes back to positioning and organisation rather than size.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gazzathegreat 0 Posted November 18, 2004 we are assuming crouch will play- maybe he will if the southampton management realise how vunerable we are at high balls in the box! but will crouch benefit from this? Don''t know - if he is that good i guess we will find out! You know how our ex players come back to haunt us (excluding ade akinbiyi) obviously our defensive organisation needs some work, we cannot let the mistakes of last week happen again - i don''t think it will be pretty, but we must be determined to concentrate and play for the full 90 minutes, and as we are at home, attack the goal from the word go then it hardly matters what crouch is doing, unless he is defending their back post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted November 18, 2004 How many times did Crouch score from a header when he was here on loan? I can remember once at West Ham and..... Umm. I''m not overly concerned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FilletTheFishWife . 0 Posted November 18, 2004 how tall was dickov?how good in the air was Doherty?play shackell by all means but this is no reason to justify Doherty''s return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrton Twigge 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Crouch?My memory of him is that he received it to head well, although he generally scored with his pegs. Made a few for Hux.Frankly, I''m concerned if he plays.With Beattie and Kevin Philips around, the knock ons could be lethal. I''d bring on Shackell - or give Charlton a ladder.

Mello Yello 2,573 Posted November 18, 2004 Apparently, in the event of the Saints winning corners against City, and due to Crouchy playing for us last season and being awarded a Championship medal. He must, whilst the taking of the corner is in progress (and this is according to FA regulations!) stand in the photographers pits either side of our goal, as his vertical advantage, is deemed unfair to our back four.... Honestly, it''s true! I got it from a reputable inside contact at ''Carra Rud''. You just watch on Saturday when we concede a corner.... I have it on good authority, that if he doesn''t comply "We take his medal off him!".... OTBC ;~) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
