You have made a judgement about Blackman based on watching him FIVE years ago - pretty pointless and irrelevant given how players can develop and form change in such a huge timescale - let alone the boom fluke season some players seem to have. and by the looks of his career stats the "boom fluke season" is what he is having now, hopefully it continues, because his career stats as a whole are to say the very least uninspiring.

Now thats a judgement I can accept because it isn't just looking at a short period of time 5 years ago, I argee this could be his boom fluke season, only time will tell.

And as for his illuminous pink and illuminous yellow boots say no more....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever read a post with which I disagree with more - I'd say that Forsyth is the best header of the ball at the club, with the possible exception of Shackell, but certainly the best full back in the air in the Championship.

Rampage Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I do not think it is overkill but it is definitely the belt and braces approach to the last 21 games. Clement has begun the count down. 21, 20, 20. Maclaren's - 'wait till the last ten games' was a load of tripe. Three points per game whenever they are played. 63 points to play for. Ignore the FA Cup. Mel has given Paul Clement everything that he could realistically hope for and more. Now it is up to PC but without any heavy expectations from Mel. Probably harder to get promoted next year as the three coming down will have even more cash and some good players as a solid basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robster1 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 2 hours ago, Dimmu said: His ability to play on both wings makes him very good option to have. I'm not sure how good he is with his head, but such height against tiny fullback gives Clement one very good tactical option. Hopefully he is at least decent... One of my personal favourite tactics, I used to use it quite a lot when managing. Put your best header on the wing against smaller fullbacks and surround him with runners. Much more effective than playing with normal target man who wrestles against those Championship brickwalls. Mate, who did you used to manage? It sounds like the old launch it to Ian Ormandroyd on the left wing from kick off. Are you Arthur Cox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stedcfc Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think this signing ticks a lot of boxes. We're now well stocked with wingers (we've been lucky we've had no real injuries there so far). IF Martin were to get injured again we can use him straight through the middle without changing formation or play him alongside Bent with 2 up top. Adds pace and an aerial threat too which isn't something we really had before this window. Russell and Weimann are quick but otherwise the team is fairly slow.

rustylee Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've just read a Sheffield Wednesday forum and he was a good player 24 hours ago but is now some sh1te ex Sheffield Utd player with little to offer. Mel should have got the cheque book out early in the week and bought him while he was still a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
