Liam Out - Freddy In ?

[Beefy]

OBD is right to say that Tilly did use a succession of targetmen while he was manager here. We were never really a long ball side though, or even particularly direct, and whenever we'd sign a Harrold, or Revell, or when we'd be linked with donkeys not fit to wear the shirt like Jon Parkin, Chris Iwelumo and Grant Holt people would ask the question of why Tilson persisted in playing targetmen when we never really seemed to play to their strengths.

It was a fair question. Matt Harrold rarely got into the box beyond those early cameos in the Championship. He'd end up coming deep, holding the ball up 35 yards from goal and bringing other players in from there. Sturrock plays through a targetman but generally far closer to the opposition goal. Shaun Goater is the only player that Tilly ever played in that role who ever played in positions to hurt the other team.

The most direct we were under Tilly was when we were playing balls over the top for Theo Robinson to run onto.

Indeed Tilly seemed keen to find a target man but never found one that worked. Most of them either werent actually suited to the role (Clarke) or werent played in the role (Revell). I always thought Harrold was better with the ball at his feet as well.

We never played in a manner that was direct enough for them to do well as out and out target men (thankfully).

i know its all a load of tosh about freddy, but i think if he did come back it would add another 700/1000 onto the gate thus freddy would actually pay for himself in a round about way

How much would it cost to tempt Stan Collymore out of retirement for the rest of the season?

him being not fit and injured is making this highly unlikely with only a number of games left to season end its not worth the gamble even if it was on the mind of PS there are better options available
