Title: Are we too lightweight
Post by: STFC Bart on Saturday, August 13, 2011, 20:22:12
Anyone else worried we are too lightweight- unless we can stand up to the physical side of league 2 I fear we may be down there a while

Only up front, in midfield and defence we have more than enough to hold our own in this league.

We've shipped out 13 players and brought in 15 ( if you include the Spaniard and the Austrian ). We've played 2 games and won one and lost one - at a ground where we normally get fuck all. I think I'll reserve judgement for now.

I've not been to either game so I stand to be corrected but it sounds to me like we need to start with Michael 'Lotsofconsenentsmixedtogether' (sounds like PDC wants to sign him) and Connell up front at Daggers on Tuesday.

Am I wrong?

 di Canio has acknowledged that we need a lump up front....when he's got his man, then it will be more appropriate to judge.

I've seen both games and no you're not wrong.

Up front yes as our style of play doesnt match our personel. Its clear we need that big man

2 fucking games in. Reserve judgement please folks

I agree with the comments about the front men being too light weight and today was clear evidence of this.  It is clear Di canio knows this which is why he is trying to sign a big man to play up front.  If we do get the Austrian as was hinted at in his post match interview then he is not match fit and Di canio thinks it will be at least 2 weeks before he will be able to play a full game.

STFC Bart.  Do you have a job?  I go to bed at night worrying about you.  Seriously.

Yes, we probably lack physical presence up front but it's been acknowledged and is being dealt with.  You must qualify as possibly the most stupid person I have ever encountered.

No I'm not worried because we are about to sign a big centre forward.

A lot of your fans have changed their tune from 2 weeks ago. What's your opinion of Gene?


Title: Re: Are we too lightweight
Post by: ArchieK on Sunday, August 14, 2011, 10:07:40
Alot of fans always change their views.....football fans are very fickle. My view is that he's the manager of the club that I love so as always I'll support him and his decisions

Bart. We are too lightweight up top, hence why Di Canio said we would be in "Big Trouble" should we not get a big forward in.

Yesterday I wanted Connell to start. But you can see why Di Canio went with a largely unchanged team after winning the first game.


Title: Re: Are we too lightweight
Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, August 14, 2011, 14:23:11
Connell adds some presence up front, and we've got a big lad coming in this week. Job done.

Di Canio has stated that Connell hasn't got the fitness levels yet coming from non league,when he is fit enough he will start in more matches,you play unfit players they will pick up serious injuries.
I am hoping we find a fox in the box type of scorer...tough getting a good one at this level though.

Isn't an injury free Benyon that kind of player?


Title: Re: Are we too lightweight
Post by: tans on Sunday, August 14, 2011, 15:39:57
Benyon is a mercenary cunt who didnt want to be here

It is a good point,in my opinion Benjon isn't the answer though,not good enough and easily knocked off the ball,and as tans says his heart isn't in it seems to me.
Either that or his fee was based on appearances and Town dont want to cough up.

Up front we are for sure.  Give it 4 games time and i cant see DeVita and Bodin even on the bench.  We have to have some physicality up front.  We get that, we hold the ball up,  It doesnt come staight back at us, and when we get crosses in we are suddenly a threat.

The Austrian guy if he is to be the BIG guy up front will have a lot of pressure to deliver.  PDC been talking about final piece in jigsaw and we all thought that would be where we spent the money on someone proven.  I think the sftc bank is about to close as PDC said if the spaniard and the austrian are his last signings he would be happy with that.

When all are signed and fit id play.

Smith
Amankwaa
Kennedy
Flint
Commazzi
Caddis
McCormack
Ferry
Ritchie
Connell
Watsisnameski ( austrian guy )

subs.  Lanzano,  Kerrouche, Risser, Esajas, Devera

Why hasn't Connell got the fiteness though? He's been here for a fair few weeks now and he trained with Grimsby before he signed for us.

By that note Risser must behind on fitness work too.  Just using Risser as an example, not having a go. Its irrelevant anyway as I wouldn't change a winning team unless I had to.

Still maintain especially after watching today that we are too lightweight- we do not have the physicality to pay ugly.


Title: Re: Are we too lightweight

Pay ugly?  I only take ugly if its free.  I'll pay for fit with massive tits though.
