What is a 'STRIKER' ?

Oh for a new Bobby Campbell but football has changed so much he would be booked that much he would never play

 

Any striker is only as good as the team around him. It depends on the striker and their comfort zone. Those strikers that score regardless of comfort zone are the ones all top teams want. We realistically can only afford the ‘comfort zone’ strikers.

However managers/coaches want to try and extend their skill set, but only a few make it. What I want to see is strikers playing in their preferred position and getting the kind service they want. Nevertheless whilst lots of clubs go after the strikers who bang in 20 every season, less attention is paid into how these were assisted!

My own particular preference and what I love to see is in midfield, the players who can spot a pass to either winger or striker, and doesn’t mind taking onto the defence and scoring himself.

 

For a minute I thought Phil Parkinson had become a new member on here RB

 

Without doubt a big part of Bobby's game was built around his physical ability to upset defenders and make them realise if they wanted to win the challenge they as sure as hell would know the guy also making that challenge would not pull out, boy do I miss those days.

 

Steven Torpey anyone

 

Plenty here .
