That makes the most sense to me too, but it will disappoint quite a few on here who are looking for a 6-footer to lead the line.


The 6ft+ I’m hoping for is more to give us a plan B, or a plan A with a certain kind of opposition, which might involve Rose or Vernam at 10 or it might be with Orsi sticking close to the big lad with 2 up top. Not expecting a proven goal scoring target man for this level because I can’t envisage PH allocating his budget like that. Especially when we need at least one quality CM in still. Im thinking a Manni upgrade type - Harry Smith or Scott Quigley? Latter maybe too much of a gobby shithouse for Hurst mind.

Just a basic 442 with 2 wide wingers would be easily fitted in to the players we have.

Not too sure we have a natural pairing of strikers up top to go through a season with - rose as one but who else? Orsi struggled to dislodge on loan kids for a spot on the bench for most of last season (Cup run apart). Kids that hurst then mostly sent back as not good enough - pepple, simmonds, richardson, etc.

Cant see Hurst going from that opinion to thinking orsi is the man to be half of a front pairing for the season.

If its going to be a front two then surely we will be needing another first choice striker to go with Rose.

Personally I think 4 3 3 or similar (4 1 4 1 / 4 2 3 1) is more likely.
