Aberdeen Motm

[Andy_P]

Yeah and in that Aberdeen game he did all the things you moaned were absent from the previous number nine, you got the striker with everything you regularly pointed out was missing before. And then having got that and when a lot of folk are giving him their MOTM, you then say he was shite!

 

Surely you can see the irony in that, no?

 

Certainly in agreement on your final point though.

[ONeils40yarder]

Ah right, I get it thinking now. Because I pointed out the flaws in suttons game I should be happy with any striker who runs aabout a lot?

[Andy_P]

That's exactly the point. I don't know what you will be happy with in your strikers.

 

Sutton's style attracted your criticism and you called for more mobility. Moult provided the mobility you wanted and labelled his performance as shite.

How is Moult's performance related to Sutton in any way?

 

Cause ON40Y thought Sutton wasn't mobile enough he should be happy with anyone who runs about a bit playing up front?

Iv saw good and bad from Moult but I don't think he is suited to being a loan striker, I would like to see him play with Fletcher but doubt that will happen.

[Andy_P]

Have you read any of my posts on this thread steelboy?

 

It's related because ONeils banged on for two years about how much of lack of mobility Sutton had. Safe to draw the assumption then that he was looking for more mobility in the frontline, yes?

 

Player is brought in who in the game against Aberdeen who provided that desired mobility and ONeils response to that is meh..... all he did was run about a bit.

 

That to me seems a bit of a contradictory view to take when you've spent the last two seasons looking for your striker to run about a bit.

[steelboy]

I would guess he's looking for a bit more from our summer signings than a willingness to run. Your logic is like saying because some people think Twardzik is too small they should be happy with any man that can reach the cross bar.

 

 

I thought the guy was an honest trier out his depth. It was obvious the week prior that Fletcher had played at a better level even though he didn't exhibit much goal threat either. I've only seen him play about 100 minutes but I don't see what Moult's strengths are, he looks like another Josh Law style shirt filler to me.

Maybe I'm being greedy but I want more from a striker than effort, I also want a striker that doesn't get bullied by the centre backs he is up against.

And someone with a track record of scoring too.....say in the mould of...umm... John Sutton

 

I don't think you're being greedy at all, and at least I kind of know what you are after in your number 9 now. I just felt what you said wanted during the Sutton era was largely what Moult offered last week so given that I was a little surprised that you were dismissive of his display.

 

Either way I've my made observations and won't go on about it any further other than hoping however mobile they are and whoever gets the nod, they start finding the back of the net a bit more regularly. And soon.

Michael Higdonesque...... Steelboy didn't like him either.... Hmmmm.

[Yassin]

Anier had all those attributes and I still maintain he was one of the best strikers we've had in 6 or 7 years.

[Busta Nut]

no chance

[Haggischomper]

Didn't really think Anier was much cope, in honesty. Not that I saw much of him, like.

[Busta Nut]

Higdon, Sutton, Porter, McCormack, Murphy, Ojamaa. All better aff the top of my head. Don't think we had much more tbf!

Lukas Jutkiewicz, surely the best!!!

Don't disagree. However, I'm prepared to give Moult and Fletcher some time to get up to speed in the SPFL. Porter took a couple of months too (coming from a higher level) and he turned out OK.

[ONeils40yarder]

Completely in agreement...this whole conversation started with me stating that I thought Moult was shite against Aberdeen, not once did I write him off completely.
