The Big Man Up Front?

[Tons of Apples]

Got to say if this is the way we'll play this season, I think I'll buy some haemorrhoid cream as I'll be rooted to my coldseat for so long it's inevitable I'll end up with piles!
Sorry not for me.

Can work with certain players but, for me, Madine isn't that player.
P.S. Buy some anusol!

It worked years ago with Murphy, Bamber, Burgess etc, as long as there’s a little fella next to them to whack it in

Need decent wingers, wing backs. Apart from Bowler there wasn't much happening. Wasn't much going on down the left wing today.

It's not something I'm massively against but you need a big man who can do a bit more too. If that's how we are going to play, we need someone a lot better than Madine to do it.

When it comes to piles ……. just bite the bullet ……. go for removal operation !

Exactly. A big man on his own - pointless. A big man with someone to feed off the knock downs - bingo.

Tons of apples, Get lost !. Don't call my favourite player.

Love Madine when there's two up top, but in a 4-3-3 I just don't see him doing well, Jerry's link up play and movement perfectly fits as the sole striker, very surprised Appleton favors Madine over JY.

It'll work great once Simms gets here.

Are some of you just thinking about Madine has a big man, heading ?. Some of his one touch stuff is excellent. He is a better footballer than you think.

Look to the future, not the past.

It's not just down to Madine though. The attacking midfield players have to get much closer to him. That said, 4-3-3 with Madine the sole middle man doesn't really work.
