G Somerset Rover Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Our two main strikers are the biggest sick notes in the league. It’s infuriating - just when we’re gaining a bit of momentum too. Sink or swim time for Semir you would think.

dingles staying down 4ever Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 SG may not get many goals as we would like but he is very capable at defending corners which was noticeable on Saturday when he went off. It was probably coincidence more than anything but our ability to clear our lines also suffered after he went off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be so but we pay him to score goals and lead the line but he doesn't and can't. If we just want a guy who runs and can head the ball as a defender there are a multitude of cheaper options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 It’s a “ Fred Pickering “ moment. Plodding along at left back in the Central League , he gives it a go up front and a super star striker is born. Which one of the defenders fancies himself as a striker ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind if Gallagher was knocking opponents about and getting injured - but he isn’t. He must be made of tinsel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is someone else to take his place and raise that percentage rate, whether they score goals or not doesn't really matter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain due to stop from 1830 tonight until around 0300 should be a nice window to dry out a touch an then off and on during the day, wet during the game however. Ball will almost definitely hold up, similar to the Preston game at Ewood about 2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohinen1983 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Santi Mina, 27 year old striker, 181cm tall, market value peaked at 30 euros a few years ago. Careers stalled a bit.. Surely someone like this is worth a pop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davulsukur Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 FFS Gallagher is proper injury prone. Assume he's a high earner, can't justify it if he's never in the field. Not sure he'll chuck the new lad in, it'll either be Leonard starting or Szmodics in a false 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point, but I'd prefer my striker to be able to score, rather than to be handy at defending corners. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference of course is Pickering came to the club as a centre forward For the sake of the expirement, my suggestion would be Hayden Carter. He played wing-back and midfield for the U21. Good height, fairly athletic. Scored a few goals for Burton in his half season there 🙂 JRC is not a bad shout though. He can probably play anywhere with his footballing brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butty Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Not sure I can see Telalovic playing from the start so soon, regardless of Gally being injured. Think Leonard will start tomorrow. JRC and Brittain BOTH need to start also. I really do hope Ennis gets himself fit soon because when he has been on the pitch he’s looked good. Gally will be off next summer, the most baffling footballer I’ve ever known, the guy is big, fast and has shown he can strike a ball well at times but still, he just doesn’t score enough and is injured far to much. He’s 100% going to go back down south next May. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simongarnerisgod Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 going to be a steep learning curve for telalevic,having said that,we won`t miss gallys goals honestly,in all my football watching years,i`ve never seen such an injured ,weedy 6"4 centre forward,for all his size,his heading is shocking as well,nothing against sam,sure he`s an absolute great person but mowbray spunked 5 million quid on him👿 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B16Rover Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) I'm sure he's a great lad, and no doubt he's gorgeous with his long hair and huge frame. But unfortunately he lacks any footballing instinct which completely nullifies a lot of his assets. He's 6ft4 but cant time a jump to compete for headers and despite having a great engine and ability to run about he never gets in the right position to reward himself for his hard work. I know we play better as a team with him in it stats wise but it does feel a step removed from the Spanish striker-less teams they experimented with at times.

windymiller7 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just on Telalovic, everyone seems to keep referring to him as 'the German' - I know he came to us from Germany, but I thought he was Bosnian? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
