At least if nothing else at 6'5 he should actually be able to attack the ball from corners which is something only Pearson has been doing recently.

I've not seen that in him when playing for us. Ollie is one of those players that seems to get smaller when he jumps.

Quoted from Maringer
Am I the only one thinking 4-3-3 here?

Assuming this Palmer lad isn't glacially slow, you could play him as the target man with Pittman playing off him on the left and LJL off him on the right (where he has played in the past).

This would be the tallest, quickest and strongest forward line we've ever had.

Of course, the problem then is that we would have Arnold, Neilson and Mackreth kicking their heels on the bench. I'm also not really convinced that any of our central midfielders are really suitable to play as 3 across the middle.

Those three up front would certainly give the opposition defence something to think about!

Oh, I'm guessing this signing will mean the departure of Watson is more likely than anything else.


Clay, Brown and McLaughlin worked well enough as a central 3 when we stuck 6 past Gateshead and 7 past Alfreton in consecutive games. It's frustrating that Hurst seems to have completely given up on playing those three together again (along with Neilson in a 'free' role ahead of them).

Right, all we need know is someone who can take a decent free kick/corner/cross..

This, quite why it was changed in the first place is absolutely beyond me but even more unexplainable is why it hasn't been re-visited after we destroyed two sides using it. Nielson in particular looked a class apart until he was moved position then Hurst is left scratching his head when he doesn't perform in the same manner on the wing, the answer is right in front of you Paul...

Two years ago we got Brodie and we all thought he will score the goals to take us up,

We were wrong.

Last year we got Jennings and we all thought he will score the goals to take us up,

We were wrong.

This season we have got Ollie, most are saying who ??

Well he just might be the one to score the goals that takes us up,

Lets hope so.

Think Rob Duffy and you've sort of got where Ollie is at at the moment.
