The Original OTIB Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 He looks like a natural finisher to me, albeit with minimal observation of his talents thus far, and, crucially, he seems to know that attacking the near post is a good idea. We have lacked that nous for some time now and it is refreshing to see. He could be one of those for which over coaching is the problem. Instinctive finishers are gold, as we know.

mozo Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I think Armstrong is a big positive of pre-season. He looks like he can play up top and cause problems. Even if the goals don't come so easily in the Championship, he will be occupying defenders, either with strength or running, to create openings for others. If we're chasing a game, you'd expect to see Fally and Armstrong together to top to attack crosses. If we're playing a counter attack game, Armstrong with Bell and Sykes would be pretty tasty.

That is indeed a factor, we've been so static for so long, either by accident (unlikely), talent (or lack thereof in variety/depth) or design. Conway, in particular, only had very rare bursts outside of the central areas in the second half of last season. I suspect coaching as much as anything.

Tommy explicitly said that Manning had told him to stop making runs in behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if you were in a room with him you might discover the grievance you have with him is unfounded in the meantime may I suggest to some of the people on this forum start supporting the club and the squad and stop trying your utmost to find something to be negative about. My feelings about Tinnion have nothing to do with the present goings on. They are from his time as a player , and then a manager, at no point have I said that he is a yes man.

It was for him, he was around 6ft tall. However I have news for you, chants aren’t always factually correct. ”We’re by far the greatest team the world has ever seen” is quite the exaggeration.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
