SIWY Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Glad they're both back in training, I think they both have a fair bit to offer to the team. I was impressed with Anya before his injury (and I've always liked him as a player since he was at Watford), so I'm looking forward to seeing him back. I'm also excited for the return of Blackman who I feel could excel under McClaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhasler23 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I personally think this is really good news. Anya offers bags of pace and crossing ability, at this point I would definitely play him over Russell against Wigan, Norwich or West Brom. I would probably do the same with Blackman, obviously he's been out for longer so West Brom is more realistic. He said when he signed he wanted to be played as a number nine, he is more mobile than Bent and taller and stronger than Vydra. Could be the answer for us up top.

For me he has JR's terrier qualities with a bit more precision. He could be a real player for us. Just needs a few games under Steve. Blackman is taller than Vydra .. After that we are on a different planet. Vydra is way stronger, has a better touch, moves better, faster acceleration. I hope Blackman finds some form for us and redeems himself but bar a couple of flicks and 2 speculative shots on the run he hasn't demonstrated anything for me that would make him a must have striker for a top 10 side. Lacks power and lacks a touch ( gambled flicks don't equate to touch in my book) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Blackman we have seen nothing yet to make you think he is a good forward or team player so what can maclaren get out of him is anybody's guess but he can't get anymore disappointing than he has been can he?

eddie Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 For Blackman, The Mac returning is the opportunity for a fresh start. We've already seen it with Pearce, Ince, Johnson, Baird and Bent - all have made significant contributions since Pearson was potted. I wouldn't bet against Blackman having a similar impact during the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 What Blackman does offer is the chance of a goal from outside the area. I'm not sure he can play the wide man in a three man attack. He's too awkward as a winger and he can't tackle back. Possible impact sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've saved yourself some money then eddie! I'd rather persevere with Camara (if he stays fit) than Anya and I'd rather play almost anyone up front than Blackman. But I'm happy they're fit again, maybe we can sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steves favourite band , you aint seen nothin yet . Well not from Nick Blackman anyway. Also looks like a young SM on drums. The like is for the video - but I do think Blackman could do a job for us in the central striker role - he's a good header on of the ball - could he also be trained to lay it off with feet? We know he has reasonable pace and if he could just learn to shoot at the nets we could save ourselves a lot of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is capable just needs a confidence boost which is Macca's forte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Any players coming back from injury can only be a positive, giving SM more options and maybe negating the need for January signings. With Thorne and Lowe also due back soon, we should have decent cover throughout the team except the keeper position. Perhaps the only other position we need to look at, unless SM works his magic on Blackman, is a quality centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality centre forward and Blackman don't belong in the same sentence! If we want to go up we've got to be realistic about what we'd need if injuries occurred. There's only one chance so we need to improve the squad in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
