McGoldrick isn’t a proper striker really. He’s more of a second striker and his game is linking the play more than anything. He’s never been a goal scorer.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Be nice to have a 'proper' striker again. I feel like we've not had one since Martin went. Wsm-ram, Ramarena, Crewton and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That type of link-up striker, that don't really create their own chances, can be very dependant on style of play and the players around them - get them in the right system and they'll score plenty.

rammieib Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Spoke to a Sheff Utd ST holder yesterday. He said we will adore McGoldrick. His attitude, work rate and desire, breaking up the play and fighting his heart out throughout the whole game just made his that much of a fans favourte. Agreed that he won't score that many, and will miss some easy chances, and therefore also agreed we need someone to regularly put the ball in the net but McGoldrick will be a big hit. Also said even last season, he was fitter than most 20-somethings in the team line up. Wsm-ram, Crewton, Anag Ram and 7 others 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping Sibley and Stretton add to that but it is hope rather than expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could adopt the old Jim Smith style of attack when Ron Willems sat behind Gabbiadini & Sturridge - that attack was devastating in our promotion season .

Wouldn't say he was prolific at Ipswich - one season with 14 then a next best of 7, but nevertheless a useful acquisition providing we have a goalscorer playing alongside him and at League One level Collins might well fit the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Would be very happy with Collins and McGoldrick partnership especially with Barkhuisen feeding off them. Sibley will get a sub place but doubt Stretton will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I do wonder, and especially considering the shape of the sides in the game against Bradford, whether Rosenior might be looking at a 4-4-2 system this season. Or perhaps something a little more akin to the 4-4-2 that Harry Redknapp used at Spurs, where the two contains a 9 (Crouch) and a 10 (Van Der Vaart) who feeds off him and links with the midfield. That duo for us might be Collins as the 9, with McGoldrick linking to the attack. Sibley may also come into that role. TB and NML as your two wide players, with Hourihane and Stephens in midfield. And into that the possibility of Bird, Knight, etc. Not bad! Ram@Lincoln, 48 hours and ariotofmyown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatRam Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Think collins uptop and mcgoldrick in a second striker/vydra role will be a success. plus pace down both wings Ram@Lincoln, Premier ram and ariotofmyown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so refreshing to see a balanced squad with options to have several different match plans that wouldn't look out of place being the main plan, not just shoehorning players left and right for the sake of it.

I agree mate. Seems we are actually signing players for roles that they’re good at. But just signing someone off a purple patch and shoe horning them in out of position. Well done to LR and the team Ram@Lincoln 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We start playing him as a striker down the middle and he's top scorer with 20 odd. I'm surprised we didn't buy a goalkeeper then play him left back.

Pearson bought Vydra for his 442, playing alongside Wilson with Bent as 3rd CF. Only for Wilson to last just a couple of games before injury, then Pearson only last a couple more games after that. Then we shifted to 433. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Excellent news, hopefully we can get this one wrapped up tomorrow. That will sort out the ST position Imo. Edited July 13, 2022 by Millenniumram TomG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybulski and Stretton won't cut it , which only leaves Collins who will be 32 in a few months and mcoldrick who will 35 in a few months , 46 league games plus early round starts in the fa Cup etc and the johnstones paint trophy cup so we are looking around 55 games , no way I'd be comfortable without someone between 20 and 30 that's not injury prone joining on top of Collins , that would be madness mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
