CKR's weaknesses would be non existent if we had intelligent runners like Bryson, Russell, Ward, Hughes, Hendrick etc, prepared to gamble and run beyond him when he draws players out of position.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Massive fan of ckr,but did i expect us to be going into this season with him as our only real striker? (Assuming Waggers is leaving as would appear likely) Colin should have been playing a part time role this year and god knows how he will stand up to a full season's shenanigans,the poor sod. In our current and forseeable situation however,with a transfer embargo,i really can't see the alternative. We saw what happened at the beginning of last season when we didn't have an effective number 9 in.

I think it was more down to him being only half fit, 34, and in some squads at the time our only recognised centre forward. I disagree with it tactically, but could understand why it might be being done, it's just that when half fit he was losing a lot of the physical battles he'd previously been winning, his actual heading ability is not the the greatest so playing as a target man didn't really work, and it meant he stopped being of much use outside the box as well. However that was probably better than asking him to do too much and ending up with nobody to play there at all! Knight and Sibley are both players who if played centrally are a threat when running with it and playing a 1-2 with a deep lying forward, as we saw when they played with Martin, Shinnie too but he's less likely to be a goal threat.

Oldben Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 In most other championship squads, I think ckr is a substitute. At his age and ability he is not the man you build your hopes on achieving anything at championship level. Knight, sibley and lawrence are not likely to score 10 plus goals in a season. The transfer ban harms the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in theory,we still have a transfer embargo until we submit all of our accounts again. At least,i think that's how it is...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure someone said if we didn't have a full squad of so many players we could make signings? Was that you @Ghost of Clough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the point of your post, unless it was irony. How much do you think the Clough Jnr lads were on out of interest?

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm all for ckr as a future manager here or elsewhere,once his playing career is done,clearly a decent home loving bloke who gets his priorities right. He's a strong leader who puts his arms around the new kids on the pitch but also dishes out bollockings as required. Easily my favourite player at the the club with his ability as our number 9. Plus,I can actually understand what he says and he clearly knows the of a strong hold up striker which I always admire in a gaffer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
