So we have given the coveted No 9 shirt to someone who is a wide player who appears destined to frustrate . A message from Hurst to those crying out for a goal scorer that we aren’t going to get one ?

What does a shirt number mean? And when I started watching Town the number 9 shirt was worn by a midfielder (Paul Groves) and the strikers wore 10 & 11.

Ossie Ardiles wasn’t much cop between the sticks either in his number 1 jersey

Watching how he played today, you might as well have given me the no. 9 shirt.

For God's sake give the bloke a chance. He's had just 2 day's training with players he doesn't know combined with poor performances of some if not most of his teammates.  The fact that he was playing out wide probably didn't help.

Unless he hasn't played or trained in while and if he hasn't why the frig are we signing someone who isn't fit, I would have expected a bit more effort wherever he was playing.

Hopefully he does better.

Don't think the post you quoted mentioned his fitness? They stated that he'd had 2 days training with players he doesn't know yet, that isn't saying he is unfit at all. And surely you're not questioning his effort yesterday?

If you watch the extensive video clips of his career to date on the earlier thread you will see that where and how he plays was constient with where and how he played yesterday.Hurst repeatedly made the point that if we signed a proper number 9 it would mean we.couldn’t play the existing system with Taylor etc so  
to take the pressure off that demand his answer appears to be to sign a wide player and give him the No 9 shirt.

He could have been played in twice yesterday and was ignored..the one chance he did get he snatched at (understandably) .
