Dordrecht 1-1 Town
Town recorded their third successive 1-1 draw as they completed their tour of Holland and Belgium with a disappointing game at FC Dordrecht. Richard Naylor netted for the Blues, with both goals coming in the opening seven minutes.
Boss Jim Magilton played Sam Parkin in an advanced central midfield/deep-lying striker role ahead of Vemund Brekke Skard with Jaime Peters on the right and Ian Westlake on the left. Danny Haynes partnered Nicky Forster in front of Parkin.
:shock: surely this is not his position

Wouldn't have thought so, but friendlies are for experimenting......perhaps SSP will become a new Teddy Sheringham.

It certainly is not his position. From what I gather, Sam is not having a happy time of it with the Tractor Boys. I can see him getting loaned out this season (not to us though!)

Which is ridiculous - despite missing most of last season thru injury, he still finished as their second highest scorer. Surely even the Suffolk worzels can work out that that perhaps indicates the problem lies with the team/formation as a whole? Like for example anyone on here could tell them playing SSP on his own up front doesn't work. Bah!

I've had a few chats with an ipswich fan recently down here... He's very insistent on me telling him exactly how ipswich should play in order to get the best out of SSP. I can't be bothered to think of the answer..
Can someone give me a quick talk-off I can use that will keep him quiet for the time-being? I've tried explaining that pace and heading ability are not particular attributes of the man so how did he score his goals?

My Ipswich mate says the same, that he can't really rate him or boo him til he has played a few more games for them.

Suppose - but he could've also picked a better team than Ipswich (just to wind your mate up)

I think I'm just gonna email him this link. Saves me the hassle! Quite a good little montage actually.. probably been posted before but I think some of the Tractor Boys who doubt his ability could do with watching it..
I definitely don't remember him scoring so many with his head!

He was always good with his positioning which is why he got the headers. Such as that one against QPR one on one from a Gurney cross if I remember correctly.
He is ace. Definitely good enough for the Championship IF you use him as an out and out centre forward!
