hearts00 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 2 hours ago, Gmcjambo said: And Jorge, really think the combo of McKay, Forrest, Jorge and Shankland with Boyce in the mix too means we’re in for a good season. Def more goals in this team for me than last season and looks like we are not done yet! Exciting times… Agreed. I expect more goals than last season on this basis. Compared to previous seasons there is so much more quality. A few concerns though. Do any of the above have genuine pace? From what people have seen are Forrest and Grant just quick or rapid? Also we are short of a real physical presence and I’m sure the club will still be looking for that. Finally, is 3-4-3 the right formation for these players. I dont want a situation when Robbie is trying to shoe hore Shankland and Boyce into the same team within a 3-4-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm not sure I have ever seen Lawrence Shankland play. So I don't really know what to expect from him to be honest. What I like is that he is Scottish, he is in the prime years of his career, and his goalscoring record in the Championship was nothing short of outrageous. So he profiles as an interesting signing. Hopefully he will do really well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Saying a deal is “not done yet” is very easy to say, when no club has confirmed it. It’s simply stating an easily observational fact, that any of us can determine by a lack of announcement from either side. It’s age old journalism speak for they don’t know **** all, Anderson is a master of it. Pilcher just following suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched him against Peru, his reading of the game and distribution were excellent. He always seemed to be in the right place to get in blocks or pick up loose balls. He also won everything in the air in that match. I go to or watch on telly every Central Coast Mariners game and he's been a beast in the air for us.

Again, the vagueness means he’s technically correct, but being technically correct doesn’t mean he knows anything the rest of us don’t. It’s journalism 101 in the modern age, making people think you know something, rather than actually knowing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
