Pat had twenty minutes. Hit the bar with a header and won three or four head-ons.
Glaxo had a shot that trickled slowly across the penalty area and was booked for handbags.
Surely Pat (Scotlnad's striker last season) have a run as our striker.
Patterson is better as is Ward.
Glatzel just isnt good enough. Probably be loaned out the next couple of seasons.
We need new strikers.
Glatzel prefers the ball to feet, he's not your typical target man. If Harris intends to make the team pass more than we did under Warnock then he'll stick with him.
We do pass the ball more under Harris.
He needs to shift a few add pace and we need better up top.
if glatzel is the best we can do we got it bad...
these players always look good elsewhere and when moved on... so starting to think its obviously the surrounding personel who matter alot too... but just not feeling glatzel at all... i used to get frustrated at bothroyd at times never heading a ball and frustrating play... but jeezuz id prefer him over glatzel all day
I’m still not really clear on what Glatzel’s strengths are.
Funny, I drove home listening to Rob Phillips' phone in and the virtually unanimous view was that Glatzel played well - I left the ground thinking that as well.
Glatzel looks like he is lacking in every aspect of his game. Its not that hes bad hes just short to call it an attribute.
However much people want to change things we would be stupid to move completely away from what we do well. For me wingers need to come in a bit to give striker more options. For me Paterson has to play either on right or up top.
Glatzel looks okay when he gets the ball played in to his feet, but then nobody runs beyond him and he has to do all the work himself.
Lot easier coming on and making an impact fresh legs etc..
Paterson is a handful granted but as target man I prefer Glatzel.
Good substitution I thought but I also thought Glatzel did well.
The game was a cagey affair and not much space to work in if you are an attacker.
Murphy also did well off the bench showing their right back a clean pair of heels on 3 occasions. One swallow though and I want to see more off the bench from him before he gets another chance in the starting line up.
Patterson hasn't done anything positive in about 12 months. He's become a "stag-do footballer" with comedy dives, kicking the ball into the net after the whistle has gone and charging after the ref in such an exaggerated style it must be mocking Real Madrid/Barca players when Mourinho and Pep were there.
Danny Ward is well liked and probably our most natural goal-scorer but cannot play 90 minutes currently, cannot play 70 minutes currently, and is much better coming off the bench. Tomlin managed to up his fitness - can Ward do as well?
We need to give Glatzel a run with Whyte, Tomlin, Ralls and, ideally, a motivated Murphy. There was something to build upon from todays game but it didn't go anywhere partly, hopefully mainly, due to a lack of familiarity together.
Paterson had the benefit of coming on against a defence who were tiring after competing with Glatzel for long balls all game
I'd like to see Glatzel coming on from the bench after someone else has roughed up the defenders
Glatzel did produce one of our few bits of quality, an excellent turn to put himself through on goal, rushed his shot though
I had given Glatzel the benefit of the doubt before today but I think he has very little to offer.
I thought Glatzel did very well, especially first half. Pato did well when he came on but I don't think he's the long term answer tbh
