He didn't have a chance to shine in a technically decent side mind either.
We wasted him up front, on his own, trying to stick balls down his throat from our defense!
Hoofing it up to him was never going to be productive, I daresay he'd fair a lot better with the crosses and through-balls we're now starting to produce.

Can't remember you backing him when he was with us, in fact it his hard to remember you backing anyone who has played for us :hehe:

As has been mentioned, it looks very much like he's found his level.

Lol

Glatzel was the best thing since Gary Madine. Fact.

Not Kieffer Moore?

Moore beats Glatzel. Madine beats Gounongbe. Pilkington beats Madine. I think. If I’m playing the game I’ve just invented correctly, James Collins wouldn’t be enough to beat a Glatzel. A Paterson is a wild card.

Have you ever seen the episode of Friends where Chandler teaches Joey how to play ‘Cups’?

Good attempt at a recovery :hehe:

Sound logic, no issues here

Another goal for Robert Glatzel on Friday evening in Hamburg's 3-2 victory at Holstein Kiel. Yet another header.

He's now scored 5 goals in 8 Bundesliga 2 appearances this season, and 32 goals in 48 appearances for Hamburg overall.

Friday's victory puts Hamburg second in the league behind Jamilu Collins' old club SC Paderborn 07.

The crowd for Hamburg's last home game, a 1-0 victory over Karlsruhe, was 45,623. It's difficult to draw comparisons between Bundesliga 2 and the Championship, but the second tier in Germany is certainly well supported.

Surely he's better than we have at the moment? Morison is playing a little more towards his strengths, although the attacking third is a massive concern in terms of chances created due to Morison playing with what seems like three holding players in midfield. Hopefully this new striker can make a difference, he's going to have to run his bollocks off though.

During the covid seasons, Morison would quite often do co comms and I don’t think he was the biggest fan of Glatzel. I don’t think he’s physical enough, I’m terms of strength or pace to succeed as a lone striker in the EFL. Maybe that would change when the ball wasn’t being pumped in the general direction of his head, though! He knows where the back of the net is, though, which is more than most players in our squad

I almost said this to TLG, word for word when i met up with him a couple of weeks back.

Glatzel likes the ball at his feet, facing the goal. He doesn't do the work. Not the worst thing, but I think that's why it didn't work out here.

I was at the Hamburg derby on Friday and he was very average. 3-0 St. Pauli. :flare:

I never thought of him as a player who didn’t work though.

I’d have him here right now and start him.

Bold.

Glatzel scored again on the weekend, that's 19 in Bundesliga2 this season, the division's second-highest scorer. He's now got 62 goals in 103 games for HSV.

I liked him, thought he was skilful but I doubt he would fit in to this team.

Cardiff are amazing at accumulating lots of players in the right /wrong position and then playing them in the very wrong position. We are very good at it because we don't know what players we need or what to buy

Correct, and it's been like that for many years. I can remember watching Leo Fortune-West playing on the wing.

He didn't come across as being particularly skilful to me. Neither did he have a turn of pace, or show great strength.
I get that the way we set up meant that any forward would have found it difficult to succeed. Nevertheless, I'm genuinely surprised by his stats in the German second tier.

Good luck to him.

Mark Harris has scored 19 as well. Theres levels.

yep we didn't even try to play to his strengths , technically he was good .

That has to be up there with one of the weirdest things ever.

he's just one of a long line of strikers who we try to play as a target man because of their height, whether or not that is their natural game.
