Agree with most of the above, our style last year, though successful didn’t create loads of chances for our Centre Forward striker, be it Kelman or whoever. In fact I think Ruel looked the most dangerous when played up front in a central role, but anyway Pigott needs to be given a chance before making ‘informed’ opinions on him.leebmx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2023 5:55 pm Goal every 2.5 games in terms of mins played at L1 level. Not bad.
Could be good if he gets the service. Problem last year was that our style of play did not offer a lot for a central striker. Lots of our goals came off the wings, long range wordlies, pens or oppo defensive calamities. Our game was all about possession and control kind of like a L2 Spain 2010.
Everyone slates Kelman but he pretty much matched his expected goals for last season from what I recall and didn't miss loads of chances. Just didn't get that many.
How this guy does really depends a lot on how or if our style of play changes much from last season when we can't boss games. Maybe this will give our strikers a bit of chance if they aren't against sat-in back lines most games.
Anyway lets give the bloke a warm welcome and a chance to show what he can do.
I think teams will come at us more in L1 and this may help our strikers with more space.
