I don't see Green, Cook, or Rose being able to lead the front line effectively even when they fully match fit when back from the treatment table -which none of them are at the minute.

Cook more of a number 10 and about 5 foot f**k all, Green would be best employed working off someone (*cough* Hanson) in a two up front formation -probably why we never have and unlikely going to see the best of him and Rose is a raw young kid and injury prone who couldn't and shouldnt be required to carry that burden all season. And short too. Cardwell not an option -may have come back a changed man like Vernham after his loan but before that most considered him a waste of wages and he now out anyway

As Sam GY pointed out, Hajson may not have scored but had he not been up there putting himself about that would have been a couple of goals in last two games that wouldn't have happened (no one who could have replaced him has the same aerial prowess and presence).

Okay it probably a fair bit to do with Ollie's new instructions to get forwards but our 'Goals For' column has shot through the roof since his return which no coincidence I'm sure. We now got that outlay up top which I repeat Ollie said so fantastic to suddenly have compared to not.

Im not going to dig stats out and pick them to suit my case but simply put 5 goals in the last two games (and the rest in games previous) is five (seven, eight?) more the the zero, or pretty much while he was out.

But of course there's other factors like the entire team we're out of confidence and what have you so that's why I'm not one to really get anal over them.

Not forgetting he did actually score one of them! (albeit, with the follow up rather than the initial header).

Plainly speaking he a bloody nuisance to opposition defenders, who double up on him freeing up space for the likes of Vernham, and fantastic to have.

Surely one of the first names on the team sheet and absolute madness to let him go or say wouldn't be a big loss.

'Replace him with somebody similar', easier said than done I'm sure, he probably the best in the division at what he does.

He had a lean spell (with everyone else) when there was clearly disquiet amongst the squad and Jolley went all heads gone with his chopping and changing, brain bamboozling tactical presentations and the devoid of ideas belting it up straight to him (with no support anywhere near) , but prior to that was ripping it up in August and now back proving himself extremely handy again.

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God
I like Cook, but for me Rose & Green shouldn't be part of Holloways plans.

Winger wise
Clarke
Vernam
Wright

I like these 3 a lot, and still have Tilley who we haven't properly seen yet, so we have options already.

But for me, Hanson has to be on the starting 11 every time when fit


With Green being an experienced player, I think he should still be part and parcel for Ollie's team.

Now Rose.........how can I say this without sounding nasty..........get rid. To me he offers nothing. Yes I know he is still learning, but he just doesnt seem to be getting any better. His control is almost non existant. His shooting is nothing special. Even Ollie commented on how bad his shot was that he scored with against Salford. Yes I know a goal is a goal and they all get chalked up, but I believe he should be playing at a lower level. He has his work permit now so can go anywhere within the British Isles, so Ollie can ship him off quite easily.

Although this will and is likely to be complete balderdash, not sure I’d be disappointed if Hanson left.

Just haven’t taken to him and don’t see him as being as effective as folk think.

I’m sure plenty do rate him and it’s all about opinions ...


19 crosses for expressing his opinion.  Do we all have to agree here?  I think he is a good target man but when he's there we have been a one trick pony and other teams worked that out rather quickly.  I also think that his head goes down too quickly.

That’s the Fishy for you!

He is a good target man and he is the only one we have. Anyone else up there the other night would have been kicked off the park by the two dinosaurs at the back for Stevenage. Certainly we were a one trick team earlier on when Hanson played. But there were other reasons for that too - Jolley insisting that we mark the opposition even when we had the ball cut the options from the back to one wellie downfield. Also we have seen more action from Vernam in the last 4 games than for a whole season previously, plus the clear instruction for midfield to get up there in support of Hanson. All down to the manager I’d guess. Next job is to get a winger to the by-line for the cross and Hanson has it all going for him.

2 wingers or overlapping backs that send in centres on a regular basis and Hanson will be back scoring more.

As for pushing up and leaving one for opposition corners- cause the opponents problems- stay high and challenge in their half not ours.

Keep moving after passing so you're free for another pass in the move.

I don't think his head goes down, he actually seems a natural leader, in all respects. Just imagine he got pi**ed off challenging for balls when no one was within 30 yards of him.

Turned off crosses n ticks so blissfully unaware of their use or purpose and zero felicitations given if I get them or not if I even can but could the red crosses simply be because they disagree with his opinion? I disagree also but he well within his rights to such opinion and not about to fall out over! Differing opinions is what it's all about and makes for interesting debate.
