ollycutts1982 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Fabio Cannavaro 5’9” and he wasn’t too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBB Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Puyol was under 6ft too Michael Johnson wasnt the tallest either. If you arent 6ft plus you have to read the game very well and have excellent decision making. Knowing when to challenge, when to drop, when to go tight, when to contest a header are all skills that can help you win physical battles.

I will once he starts showing something. I’m guessing that Jozwiak is on this forum, on the transfer page and keep refreshing to see if we’ve signed Lewandowski. I think this would help to bring the best out of him and we won’t see the best of him until this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im saying he’s 5’10” maybe 5’11” However it’s largely irrelevant as he didn’t lose an areal battle all game and his reading of the game was first class. If he was 6’5” but lost headers and got in the wrong position all game would that be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Only just got home as been on the lash around Nottingham all day after the match so may not be the most coherent.....first half we controlled possession but didn't actually do anything of note to hurt County with, goal from the corner welcome bonus. Second half we were lucky not to concede after County contrived to miss two gilt edges chances, penalty converted for us with aplomb. I know we were fielding a very young side today but the same deficiencies were apparent from last season; passing the ball to death without any incisive attack intent. As per the Salford friendly was hard to determine the gulf in league standings to the casual observer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has shown parts of his game is very good. He wouldn’t be a Poland international and touted for the top if he wasn’t.

BondJovi Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 1 hour ago, LeedsCityRam said: He's 6' 1" - possibly slightly below average height for Championship CB but not noticeably so. From today's evidence he was brave in aerial battles, decent spring on him, well positioned & got good distance on his headers...all more important than pure height. He also looks quite a physical lad & I'd argue strength is as important to deal with the units that play up top in the Championship. His comfort on the ball also suits what looks to be our new style. Whilst we urgently need Jagielka & Davies through the door, I'd really like Cashin to start plenty of games this season. Think he could mature into a good CB at our level especially with one of those two alongside him. Can't quite believe the legend of Buxton hasn't made it into this discussion. 1.8?
