    I noted RS hanging around the far post like someone else we know always did
    New Sir Ricky of Lambert?

    To repeat myself a bit, Fraser is all product no tricks and Sulemana still the opposite
    Frasers influence should help him

    The way he chased around after the ball and made runs into positions also reminded me a bit of the Rickster.

    Rickie. It's Rickie! Sorry but that spelling error really irritates me!

    Whoops, slip of the keyboard
    Calm down :emoticon-0105-wink:

    EDIT: However, can we stick to the key issue here, rather than the spelling

    If he is even half as good as sir Rickie I will be absolutely over the moon.

    I have missed a proper number 9 so much. It’s my favourite thing in football to watch a target man

    We haven’t had a proper old fashioned centre forward since Pellè left, and that was 7 ****ing years ago!

    If he is as good as Ryckee Lambert, then these narrow wins become more comfortable, and the draws become narrow wins.

    Huddersfield are going to play ultra-defensive and very negative against us. Usually we struggle to break teams like that down. So it will be interesting to see what different Stewart makes.

    Maybe. But there's always the Rotherham-type of performance. If we are gonna make a serious effort at closing the gap, we can't afford too many more games like that.

    This makes for good reading....

    The good news is that none of our next 16 games are against teams in the top 8 of that table.

    SRL wasn’t far off of being the complete CF. Had the lot. Powerful, great heading, pen & free kick taker, poacher. Not exceptionally quick but made up for that with great positional play. Hopefully Ross can get close, maybe better ….

    If we kept up that sort of form for the remaining 30 matches we would finish on 105 points!

    It was Rickie's quickness of thought that made him so deadly, such an instinctive player and finisher.

    What struck me most was how incredibly powerful, and accurately, he could strike a ball.
