We'd have too many forwards who'd expect to be starting. Nobody should expect to be starting. All should hope to be - and working hard to get the nod. It's very much a squad effort and with injury, loss of form, suspension, all could play a part. Plus DU has hinted at flexible tactics, so players could be in/out depending on opposition or state of game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 7 minutes ago, Shrek said: 4 outfield subs. He can play left wing, right wing, up top in a 2 and any of a 3, and I'm sure Curle had him wing back at one point! Great option off the bench at this level if he's not starting. Tollit like Rooney and Fondop can play one position. Not good enough to command that stop so IF we sign this lad Tollitt needs sending to Halifax. thats a good point its not 5 subs is it in reality is it, its only 4. bit slow on that one me, have to admit!

Crusoe Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 After years of suffering mediocre players, especially attackers, it’s a bit baffling that there’s now concern at having too many good players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Tell you what. If Dallas signs, that’s a forward line with a load of pace. One thing stood out to me last season is defenders at this level can’t cope with quick attacks and pace. Lovely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 We have already got a host of attacking options….If he does sign Dallas I think it would put to bed the theory that Unsworth will adopt a safety first line up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 54 minutes ago, bigfatjoe1 said: Some people are very confident that he's signed. IF he has, then we have a very exciting attacking line-up, with options: Willoughby/Reid Ward/Tollitt Nuttall/Fondop. Dallas/Green Lundstron/Sheron Shelton/Gardner Kitching/Couto Hogan/Oil tanker Hobson/Sutton AN Other Norman/Hudson Just need a RB (or two) and a CB (with McGahey leaving at some point). This is starting to look really, really good. swap the players in the 9 & 10 positions and lm on board. that's my fave formation, but there's potential 'one up front' pissboil..

It's a squad game to an extent but if you had Nuttall, Reid, Willoughby and Dallas those are 4 forwards who will be among our high earners. Would they be getting enough game time to be happy and motivated? Excellent and very novel problem for us to have mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be surprised to see Dallas - Nuttall - Willougby as a front 3 in some games. They’ll all get plenty of minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have too many forwards who'd expect to be starting. Yeah, Warnock used to say - you can never have enough strikers, and I think there’s some merit in that. But I take your point - there is a concern some will spit their dummy out as none of them are squad filler type signings. I love Big Mike- but he can go. Luamba - is at Barnsley on trial- so may go. Hope will have takers because he’s a good pro. That would leave. Kurt Nuttall Reid Possibly Dallas. That is a class front four, and is a lot easier to manage and give them game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 hopefully he remembers our following as a bottom of the league club at their place, then thinks about chesterfields followings as a top of the league club when they played away matches as his deciding factor..

Sloshed Joe Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Dallas & Reid played up front together quite a bit last season for Solihull so perhaps there’s a good understanding there. Maybe Reidy is the one putting in a good word to try & sway Dallas’ decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
