Young forward from Chester I've heard.
I don’t think is the case, we get plenty of balls into the box and stats back this up, especially from wide areas and how often we’ve not had enough bodies running into the box or they’ve arrived too late or they’ve not anticipated the delivery. Same at set pieces. Players have to work with half chances as that’s often all they will get in a game.ossickbluebird wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2024 11:44 am Though our alledged "strikers" clearly aren't very prolific the supply to them is often pretty woeful. Even top class centre forwards need 2 or 3 decent chances just to score one, what can anyone expect when ours are getting a couple of half-chances at most per game.
Its the 4-2-3-1 formation we play as it relies on midfielders as well as the lone forward getting into the box and this is obviously not happening for us.Jonty wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2024 1:10 pmI don’t think is the case, we get plenty of balls into the box and stats back this up, especially from wide areas and how often we’ve not had enough bodies running into the box or they’ve arrived too late or they’ve not anticipated the delivery.

Saw him play a handful of games for Chester last season. Six footer who puts himself about and not afraid to have a crack at goal, Player of the month in the NLN at the beginning of this season. Distant relative of former City favourite Tommy Caton. Question is can he step up the level. Have to balance weaker defences he has been up against with the better players who would be surrounding him at HS. One thing certain he wouldn't satisfy a lot of 'fans' even before he'd kicked a ball.
Could have pele up top but if you’re playing the ball 20 yards away from him he’s still going to do nothing…SKIPPER wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2024 7:28 pmSaw him play a handful of games for Chester last season.

That would be an excellent signing.
If you read the Lincoln Forum they say they need to off load or loan a forward or two as they have. to many.
