It was so long ago now that I can’t remember the name of the team nor the player but I remember a team in the depths of a goal drought putting a defender up front who transformed their fortunes. Could any of our crew effect such a metamorphosis? I wonder?

I think Norwich did it with Sutton

I think that Williams’ fortunes were more transformed than ours tbh !!

As if playing someone like O'Brien up front would get us a goal......

Not sure but maybe Feeney put Taylor up front for us off the bench during a crap home performance.
Result.
Hopeless.
Could see Mickey up there though.

May as well put Innis up there !!

He’s our main target for every attack/long throw in , and he can’t defend for toffee so at least he can’t cause any damage up front ??

Paul Warhurst, Sheffield Wednesday. Injuries to Wednesday’s two main strikers led to centre back Warhurst being employed as an emergency striker. He scored 12 goals in 12 games and got selected for England as a striker.

Thanks mate, you obviously haven’t Jamiesoned your memory as much as I have. Anyway, when all else has failed and there’s no other options.........

JEd put Minshull up front in the cup final v York .. awful.

Yes I do remember that but it wasn’t him who missed the sitter I liked Minshull though obviously not quick enough in that rôle.

In reality,Podge and Jamma haven't become bad players overnight.They scored loads last year,the problem is the tactics that we play.It reminds me of Infants school when we just whacked it the way you were playing.We play it to Matt yet,there's no one near him to play off.We use long throws yet everyone goes for the first ball no one hanging back for the second.We could have Shearer and Lineker in their prime,they wouldn't score.No one gets to the bye line and gets crosses in,no one tries to pass,just whack it up there.Change the tactics,if there are any,not the players.
