No use pumping long balls to him in the air which he needs to control before doing anything with it.
Agree.
He'll end up getting frustrated if his back is constantly to goal and those high-hanging balls are aimlessly pumped up to him while he is being jostled by a defender. He looks quite athletic for a tall player, if Murphy and Mendez-Laing can whip in crosses with a bit of pace on them he could do some damage, or a quick threaded ball through by Decadova-Reid.
... just not aimless balls pumped up in his direction from our defenders.
The fact that the posters in this thread are beefing about our playing style does not mean that they speak for the majority of fans.
I sometimes scan this board and see people with a contrary view to myself and think, nah I can't be arsed entering into a five page argument.
I hope he does as well but if not I would rather the tactics are varied to suit the strengths of the available players and not use them less effectively to suit the tactics. In Warnock We Trust was the phrase used by many, it is a bit tarnished for me at the moment given some of the off field issues of last season but, as he has new personnel including a striker of whom we have high hopes, I suppose we must keep the faith
Neil Warnock is currently the most experienced football manager in the world who is in a job. I’m sure that he knows what to do.
I’m sure we won’t change our style that much. Long balls will be played into him, and if after 5/6 games he hasn’t done much, the fans will start having a go at him.
Why is it thought Glatzel will not have the support to run onto the ball? Last season Niasse's movement was good; he was able to run on to the ball but his abysmal finishing meant he couldn't score. It seems this new guy can also head the ball unlike Zahore so I have no worries.
The fact he cost less than Madine and less than we got for Zahore leads me to conclude the club has done well in securing Glatzel's services. So far I'm happy; we might even sell a few more season tickets on the back of it. Wouldn't it be great if the Upper Ninian was opened for this season?
I personally quite like the long ball game and I'm looking forward to watching us hoof it up in the air at him
Before last season there was talk about a typical Neil Warnock side which includes assumption of physicality however (without checking the stats) Man City appeared to commit more fouls than us. These "traditional" tactics work depending on how they're used, what else is done, how capable the side is at changing strategy when needed....
