I’m banned from yet another thread because of Chilco and Loading’s bullying so apologise for starting a new thread https://x.com/thesaintcentre/status/1974536583723507930?s=46 There you go, the data doesn’t lie. He’s toilet and pretending otherwise is very silly
I don't want to join a pile on, but hot damn, he's been poor so far hasn't he? Genuinely like going down to 10 men When he comes on.
He looked slightly better than his last performance (which says it all really) but still looks absolutely miles off the required standard. Lacks a lot of the basics needed to play as a CF in this league. We don't really have much choice but to stick with him now though if Still wants to persist with a big man up top? Which is a bit worrying.
I’d rather play with Armstrong through the middle. If we’re doing that then 4 at the back and an extra attacking player. Something like McCarty Mads Edwards wood/squashy manning Jander Charles Fellows scienze Fraser Armstrong
Please no. He's arguably our best attacker so why put him in a position where he's far less effective.
Yep. We've already shot ourselves in one foot by needing to rely so much on a guy with a dreadful injury record. I'm not sure that the answer to that is to shoot ourselves in the other foot by moving our other main goalscorer into a far less effective position. That would seem to compound the problem to me!
Maybe Still can use some of his alleged tactical nouse and play a system that doesn’t require some ****e lump up front? Archer would score a lot in this league if we played in a way that actually suited him
That would be good. We were told by some people on here that after the Pompey game that Still didn't want to lump balls up to Archer (which seemed an odd defence of Still, given that's exactly what we were doing). But since that game, we've barely seen Archer on the pitch. Rather than play a system which does suit him, we've taken him out of the system instead. So I wouldn't be too confident that we will play a style which does suit him.
